    Airbag system not working, dealer said it could be a sensor that would cost over $600.00 to replace. It will come on sometimes and work for a few moments then the entire airbag system shuts off again.

    The passenger side air bag works about 50% of the time with an adult passenger in the seat. My wife is normal sized, about 5'6" and 160 lbs.
