4 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 03/15/2011

Shortly after purchasing this vehicle (new), my wife noticed that when she is in the passenger seat, the passenger air bag status light stays on, indicating the air bag is turned off even though an adult is sitting in the seat. The dealership look at it and claims that it is working correctly and blamed that my wife was sitting in the seat wrong. It is not an occurrence that always happens, just periodically.
