so for the last few weeks my service airbag light comes on but it stays on for a bit then turns off i beleive it is the passenger side seat sensor because when it says service airbag and you are sitting in the passenger seat it does not say that someone is sitting there but then other days it senses that someone is in the seat is this a common problem or should it get it looked at not too sure what to do

 

i had the same thing..
took it to the dealer and they changed the sensor on the passanger seat
it fix the problem for about 2 weeks... and it light on me again.. the thing was
you have sensorns on the seat bealt too.. so they got me a new whole seat belt for the passanger side

 

was it expensive

 

Can't comment on the seat sensor, but I can warn you that a replacement FRONT seat belt will set you back over $500. It's because they have seatbelt pre-tensioners built into the mechanism, which fire off when the air bags deploy, and tighten the belt.
I found out the hard way, after my dog partially chewed through the front passenger belt. Knew it was gonna be bad when the parts clerk said you may want to sit down.

 

that sucks

 

damn that does suck..i had warraty take care of it..
