Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The passenger airbag off light come on for no reason while there is a passenger seated. We replace the seatbelt and seat belt sensor. The next code says to replace the seat sensor itself. That's a $1000 repair. And that does not ensure that the airbag will deploy. The seat belt replacement was supposed to fix the issue. Based on the codes. Will the airbag deploy in the event of an accident? We do not know. This occurs both when the vehicle is stationary and/or moving.”
