    I am a 120# 5'6" female 30 years old. When sitting in the passenger front seat of my hyundai santa fe 2007 model, if i move to even shift weight right or left, the airbag light goes on and off. I do not move forward or back, my seat back is in the upright position. Hyundai says that this is due to federal guidelines and that there is nothing they can do. It is because i am between 110 and 120#. Is this true? *tr

    I bought a 2007 hyundai santa fe limited 3 weeks ago. We have noticed that repeatedly and unpredictably that the passenger side air bag sensor illuminates, indicating that the air bag has turned off, while my wife is riding in the front seat. She is average size for an adult female, and there is absolutely no reason that this should occur. I find this to be completely unacceptable and very, very dangerous. This…

    Major safety issue. The passenger side air bag light comes on and goes off all while riding down the road with a passenger over 80 lbs riding in the seat. On an average trip of 30 mins the light will sometimes come on and stay on or will come and go indicating that the airbag will not deploy in the case of an accident. We also have a 2007 accent that is doing the same thing just not as often. The dealership has…

    When i sit in the passenger seat, the airbag light indicates "off". I weigh 130 lbs and i have read the owners manual on this topic. It does not matter how i am positioned in the seat, this function does not work correctly. I have visited my service department and called hyundai consumer affairs. They state that the unit is working as designed, but cannot describe how it is designed to work, ie, what weight limit…

    Front passenger occupant classification sensor is not classifying my wife correctly and disabling the front passenger airbag when she sits in the seat. Contacted my local hyundai dealer and they said this is the way it works and there is nothing they can do. (they did contact someone at hyundai who told them this) *jb

    I own a 2007 hyundai sonata. The problem is the passenger air bag does not always enable when my usual 115 pound passenger sits on the passenger seat. There is no problem when a heavier person sits on the seat, but when my usual passenger (who is my 75 year old wife) sits on the seat the air bag seat sensors do not always activate. The service department at a hyundai dealership referred me to the manual which…

    When my wife sits in the passenger seat of our 2007 hyundai sonata, sometimes the light on the dash is lit, indicating the car does not sense a passenger is sitting there. In the event of a crash, the airbag would not deploy. The dealer replaced the jell pack under the seat but the problem is continuing. My wife is 5"7" and weighs 126 lbs. The dealer said to be careful about posture. We drove the car to pennsylvania…
