Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“When a passanger sits in the front seat their weight enables the air bags to work. However after they have sat and exited the vehicle the srs light comes on and disables the air bags. If the passanger sits in the seat and brings their legs as close to the front seat as possible the srs light will come on and disable the front air bags even though their is a person sitting in the front seat. This sensor is the child seat sensor on my 2001 mercedes benz 430s.”
