WHEN MY PETITE WIFE SITS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT THE AIRBAG REMAINS OFF. SHE IS 5'1, APPROXIMATELY 100LBS. THE DEALER STATED THE CAR WAS DESIGNED THAT WAY AND DID NOT WANT TO LOOK INTO THE ISSUE. WE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH OUR 2010 SUBARU LEGACY, THOUGH I NEVER REPORTED IT. IS THIS CORRECT? ARE THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAGS FOR THIS CAR DESIGNED AND TESTED NOT TO GO OFF FOR SOMEONE HER SIZE?
