Passenger side air bag light does not indicate that the airbag is on. This happens very often when you sit in the passenger seat and fasten the seat belt. This has been happening for several weeks.

I see in the past that there is/was a recall on the airbag system for the 2016 Chevrolet Trax. My front passenger airbag light stays on in the off setting and it is unknown if if was fixed or checked by the previous owner. I had an accident March 2019 and the airbags didn't deploy. I never knew that I could report it to you as it was my first ever car accident. A car pulled out in front of me today at work, luckily I avoided having an accident and that's when I noticed again that the passenger side airbag light was set to off. Also would like to say that the display in the car doesn't work properly, the screen freezes. And whenever I connect my Bluetooth, my phone and the radio plays at the same time. I have to turn the car off and back on to correct it.

The contact owns a 2016 Chevrolet Trax. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, she became aware that the passenger’s side air bag warning light remained off, while her daughter or fiancé was seated in the passenger’s seat. The contact then noticed that the air bag light turned on once she was seated in the passenger’s seat. Upon investigation, the contact discovered that the passenger’s side air bag sensor would not recognize an occupant seated in the passenger’s seat that weighed under approximately 150 pounds. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer where they confirmed her failure and gave her an estimate for the repair. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.

In passenger front seat when someone is sitting there the seatbelt will just undo on its own at times. Also the person will weight over 100lbs and the air bag light indicator will go to on and off.
