Dealer states my occupancy detection mat was already reworked, however the original mat is still in the seat and no evidence exists to show what was done to prevent future fatigue of the mat. The date code on the mat is 2005 and the dealer stated it only needed replacing if it showed visible cracking during inspection. They stated it wasn't required to replace it but the date of warranty started from date of inspection.

When a person is sitting in the front passenger seat the "passenger airbag off" light comes on and the airbag light shows on the dash like the sensor isn't registering that someone is sitting there, then after a few minutes it goes off again and does this frequently.
