SRS Restraint System Defective message?
This just started happening to me, but ONLY when a passenger sits in the passenger side front seat. I am going to bring it in to the dealer. Any ideas of what it is and how much to fix? I think it is a sensor issue, but who knows...

Thanks!
Pete

Check the connections under the passenger seat to make sure they are all tight. It may be something as simple as a loose connecter that is jostled loose when a passenger sits in the seat. I read about something similar in a UK forum.

I had that same problem in my ML350. The guy at the service center made comments suggesting it's not that uncommon.

just an after market GM one since I can't get Mercedes'. It covers bumper to bumper except on MB proprietary parts. (like radio, air suspension, etc).
