    The occupant sensing system does not recognize that someone (full grown adult) is sitting in the passenger seat.

    Front passenger seat back tilts forward slightly when braking. This causes the seat back to feel loose and like you're moving forward in the seat when braking. Driver's seat does not have the issue. *tr
