Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“My airbag light started randomly going on and off. I noticed that it often occurred when someone was sitting in the passenger seat. I also noticed that when someone was sitting in the passenger seat the indicator often indicated that no one was sitting there. Then after about a week of this occurring, the light airbag remained on at all times and the indicator stated that no one was sitting in the passenger seat even when someone was. I then took my vehicle to the dealership and they advised that it was the passenger airbag presence sensor and that it needed to be replaced. …”
