Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The passenger side airbag occupant sensor does not recognize occupants consistently. It works for some occupants sometimes, and at other times it doesn't recognize the same occupants. Shifting in the seat sometimes has an effect and sometimes doesn't. It has been to the selling dealer with this complaint but the selling dealer states it is working correctly. I've attached a picture of my 16yo daughter sitting in the seat where you can see the light is illuminated indicating that the airbag is off. She meets the weight limit stated by the dealer that should trigger the airbag to be on. …”
NHTSA complaint #10949979, filed 2017-02, 10,000 miles“Airbag light keeps coming on and we take it in to be serviced and they say hey it shows low voltage so we tighten down your battery and that fixed it. Then we drive 100 miles and it's back on. Took it to a different dealer and they said the same thing. Another few hundred miles airbag light is on again. Putting my families lives in danger. When we bought this vehicle from Carmax that the same issue and took over 6 weeks before we could pick it up.”
