Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The front passenger airbag light comes on when a passenger who weighs over 115 lbs is seated in the seat. the light states the airbag is off. this is definitely a serious safety issue because if the airbag is off it will not deplore if there is an accident. therefore with the exception of the seatbelt, there is no other safety feature in case of an accident. the car was purchased under the assumption there were front and side airbags which apparently will not be the case because of some sort of defect in the sensor for the passenger seat. this is intermittent but nonetheless is not a chance i should have to take with my passengers. this needs to be addressed and fixed immediately or my money should be refunded so i can purchase another vehicle with reliable safety features. the fact that this vehicle is rated 5 stars in safety features needs to be reevaluated. *tr
