Im having the same problem with my car right now. I just got it back from the dealer unfixed because they cant get the part for two weeks. Do you think the car is safe to drive around like this? Should I ask for a loaner or rental?

 

In my particular case, the dealer told me that the car was safe to drive. However, I recommend asking the dealership or manufacturer directly if there is any safety risk (especially since I am not a technician and cannot advise you or evaluate your vehicle).

 

But, in my opinion, the car is not performing as engineered if the supplemental restraint system is not functioning properly. I did receive a loaner car while waiting for the part to arrive.

 

Good luck with the repair.

;1096928']I agree. It's either a bad wiring connection or a bad occupant detection system (ODS) seat module.

 

If anyone else has this problem, the appropriate portion of the passenger seat was replaced (complete with sensor) and the problem has not returned in over a month.

 

Thank you for the input.

Thank you for the feedback. I appreciate it. Does it help to mention that the problem occurs often when it is moist or damp outside? The next time I bring the car in, I would like to have as much information as possible for the dealer.

My 06 Legacy has been checked by the dealer three times because the airbag light on the gauge cluster intermittently lights up and the passenger airbags stop working (as per the indicator light). The only code they can retrieve is “29”, which I am told is “inconclusive.” Although the passenger seat scale has been recalibrated multiple times, the technicians are unsure how to proceed and “cannot diagnose and repair an intermittent problem with a code 29.” I have even delivered the car to the dealership as the problem is occurring to no avail. Any ideas or recommendations?
