Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Passenger side airbag off light illuminates even when a grown adult is sitting in the seat. the owners manual states, and the service dept at the dealership agree that if a 150 lb adult is in the passenger seat and the off light is illuminated, the airbags will not deploy. the adult can be sitting straight up in the seat with feet in the floor in front of them and the off light is on. the service manager said they cannot fix this, it is a problem. the corp. office should issue a recall because obviously the sensors are not properly located. what good is the airbag if it won't deploy when needed? *tr
