PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSOR NOT WORKING PROPERLY'WILL RANDOMLY STOP WORKING WITH 175LB PASSENGER BUT YET WORKS WITH 30LB BAG PLACED ON SEAT. VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND CAN HAPPEN ON CITY STREETS AS WELL AS HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS ISSUE IS STILL OCCURRING. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED USED WITH 30,000 MILES IN JANUARY 2014.
