problem #3

  • 3,100 miles
My passenger airbag "on/off" light on the center console lights (meaning passenger airbag off) at completely random times while the car is in motion. The light will illuminate when driving down the road at any speed and condition without a passenger in the seat or other times with a passenger in the seat. Conditions include gravel roads, highway, stop and go traffic, normal city driving, even parking lot driving. I have photos and videos documented for both scenarios. My wife is very worried when she is in the passenger seat while were driving down the highway and suddenly her airbag says it has turned off. I have included a cell phone picture of the passenger seat empty with the light on. I was doing approximately 55mph on flat level dry paved road when the photo was captured. I believe the problem being caused by faulty seat sensors in the passenger seat base. The problem is ongoing and started approx. 2/15/16 with 3100 miles on the vehicle. I will be taking it to a dealer on 5/20/16

The passenger airbag light comes on randomly with/without occupant. Will stay on for periods of 30 minutes at a time. This has happened when car is stationary, in motion, on a city street or a highway, turning, braking, anytime. I only have 1300 miles on the car.

Applied the brakes to the floor and it slid on an inclined road after being in a complete stop, resulting in rear ended straight the front vehicle. Air bags deployed causing burns and seat belt bruises. The force was significant enough to bend a metal bar. I can't explain how the inclined surface didn't even help stop the car for it seems to still be going instead of stopping. It shouldn't have been such a bad impact since gravity and friction where working to stop the car. I can't explain it.
