This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The vehicle is equipped with an Occupant Classification System that automatically turns the air bags off for the front passenger seat, if an adult sized passenger is not detected. There is no way to override this. My significant other is a normal sized adult woman. Normally when she is seated directly on the seat, the air bag does not turn off. However, medical issues with her lower back and sciatic joint require her to sit on a padded cushion when traveling. With this cushion on the passenger seat, the air bags turn off. The concern is that if we were to experience a collision, she would not be protected with the air bags. I asked the dealer if they could reprogram this. They advised that they are not equipped to do so, and are also prohibited by law from doing so.
