Dates Manufactured: JUN 2006 to JUN 2006
Number of Vehicles Affected: 359

Defect Description:
CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES FAIL TO CONFORM TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 208, 'OCCUPANT CRASH PROTECTION.' THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER SEATS IN THESE VEHICLES ARE BUILT WITH A PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSING SYSTEM. WHEN TESTED WITH A REPRESENTATIVE, UNRESTRAINED SIX YEAR OLD CHILD, THE SYSTEM IS REQUIRED TO TURN OFF THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER'S AIRBAG. INTERFERENCE DURING SYSTEM CALIBRATION CAUSED THE SEATS TO BE OUT OF SPECIFICATION.

Consequence of Defect:
THIS CAN INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY TO A CHILD SEAT OCCUPANT DURING CERTAIN CRASH CONDITIONS.

Didn't see this posted and it's fairly recent, so here it is. Probably won't affect any of us here, but it's good to be thorough.

I dont have that problem, but i have something similar. If i have a passenger riding with me, it senses they're there and turns the airbag on, but when they get out and i start driving again, the car thinks they are still there and beeps showing they don't have their seatbelt buckled. Then it will randomly turn off later on. Anyone have a problem like this?

I have had that problem once. It did it for 5 minutes or so after the passenger got out till I got home. Next time I turned the car on it was fine though. I figure just something buggy with the sensor or the way they got out of the seat maybe.

Yeah that happens to me too. I've had the car since february and it's actually happened about 5-10 times which in my opinion is quite a bit!
