2020 Acura RDX Air bags Problems

“On oct 31 2019 we purchased the 2020 RDX advance and the passenger front seat airbag light off has been sporadically staying on when my wife is sitting in the passenger seat. Which indicates the airbag is not armed on that side. Luckily we have been taking photos of the switch coming on with her sitting in the seat. They say its a weight issue which is unacceptable. If you turn the car off the airbag light resets to off when she is sitting in the car. If the car is running and you pick up a passenger the airbag light does not turnoff. …”

“Since we bought the vehicle in 2019, the passenger-side seat sensor didn't always go off when occupied. We asked the dealership to check it out in 2020 or 2021, however, due to the problem being inconsistent it couldn't be fixed. The inconsistency of the seat sensor has continued though the years, but lately, it has become more frequent. I am the usual occupant on the passenger side and I weigh 113 lbs. I recently spoke with the dealer service department after I saw the recall; however, the recall does not apply to our VIN.”

“My wife weighs about 125 pounds. When she sits in the front passenger seat of this car, often (but not always) an indicator will light up on the dashboard, saying Passenger Air Bag OFF. Even if she shifts around in the seat or bounces up and down, the indicator light will stay on. I have taken the car to my local Acura dealer twice, asking that this problem be diagnosed and fixed. The first time their service technician reported No issues at this time. Unable to duplicate concern at this time. …”

“I purchased a new 2020 Acura RDX in january of 2020. Very soon my wife and I noticed that from time to time when she was seated in the front passenger seat, the air bag off light would remain illuminated. I would then turn the car off and generally, upon restarting the cat, the light would extinguish as designed, indicating that the airbag was armed and ready to protect my wife in the event of a crash. Sometimes restarting the car would not resolve this issue and repeated restarting would be required. …”

“(1) Passenger airbag periodically turns off when seat is occupied. This surfaces major safety concerns. (2) Technology package - Apple car play turns black and disconnects often. As someone working from their car, this needs to stay connected in order to avoid safety concerns of needing to look down at my phone.”
