When a passenger is sitting in the front passenger side of the vehicle with the seat belt connected, the vehicle is illuminated a warning light saying passenger seat u buckled. This is also causing a "service airbag system" to appear in the dash along with the warning light being illuminated.

One day I was driving on the highway and I received a notification to 'service air bag' and my car shows the passenger seatbelt isn't buckled, even when it is. This causes my car to make noises at me the whole time I'm driving. It has also raised concerned of whether my airbags are functioning, and if I and anyone who rides with me is safe driving/riding in this car.. I just had the bushing for the shifter cable repaired.. Now another dangerous situation with my dart.

The service airbag light on the dashboard is continuously on. Has been that way since I purchased the used car in may of 2014. Received a recall notice and took to dealership, fixed and a few months later the light was back on. In may of 2018 took vehicle to another dealership to fix the passenger seat belt sensor that kept stating no passenger seat belt even if the person in the passenger seat had already buckled in, as well as the shift cable bushing because it became detached and could not shift anymore and also let them know about the service airbag light. Dealership fixed all and a few months later the service airbag light came back on and has been that way ever since.
