Air bag light on. There are 4 codes in the SDM, due to an internal fault in the sensing diagnostic module. The dealership states that it has to be replaced and will cost close to $1100 to have repaired and to clear all of the codes.

Now while driving it just shuts off with out a warning ,scard to take it to dealership cant afford to keep putting money into it. I have had problems since the car was bought from the dealership. Now do not know how to be able to sell if it is doing this.

The passenger air bag system turns off even with an adult in the passenger seat. Sometimes it turns on and then turns off midway through a trip, while the vehicle is in motion, with no explanation. It works sometimes and other times does not for no rhyme or reason.

Passenger side airbag sensor light is inconsistent. With any passenger seated the "on" light does not stay on. It will sometimes come on temporarily then off again. This happens whether or not the car is in motion. I have noticed numerous similar concerns from others on line and even on this site.

There is a problem with the passenger presence module according to our mechanic. When an adult is seated in the passenger seat with the car turned on and stationary, sometimes, the airbag system does not turn on as if it does not recognize a person there. If the car is then put into drive, the airbag system still remains off. Other times, the air bag system will turn on at the beginning of the drive and then turn off randomly during the drive while someone is still sitting in the passenger seat. This seems to be an obvious issue as the airbag may not activate in an accident when there is indeed someone in the passenger seat.

My wife was driving on a straight road with cruise control set at 60 MPH when she saw a deer in the road - she swerved and braked hitting the deer in the drivers headlight area above drivers front tire and both driver side doors. The air bag did not deploy and the seat belt did not lock in place and hold her in place.
