When my wife is seated in the passenger seat the air bag sensor will not recognize that a person is occupying the passenger seat. My wife weighs approximately 140 lbs. This has been a regular problem for the last few years and has not gone away. It is the same problem as the current nhtsa campaign (08v161000) for 2006-2008 hyundai sonatas for which hyundai has issued a recall. We have visited multiple dealerships…

I own a 2007 santa fe with 30,000 miles. When i am seated on the passenger side the air bag sensor will state that it is inoperative, not recognizing me as a passenger. I weigh 134 lbs which should be more than enough for the air bag sensor and i am really concerned since the front airbag will not work in the event of a crash. That could result in an injury to me or someone of similar size. I have talked with two…

Passenger air bag randomly disables and enables while passengers are sitting in the seat. This indicates that the passenger air bag is not working properly and is a significant safety hazard. *tr

Air bag light is on for the third time in two years of ownership, dealer claims to have replaced a sensor on the second visit. I am concerned in the unlikely event of a frontal crash the air bags will not deploy. It also causes the alarm to go off 15 seconds after locking doors. *tr

2007 santa fe taken in for the 2nd time today as the airbag indicator light is permanently on. The 1st time this happened (few months ago) they replaced the sensor, but it has happened again. At the same time, the 'beep' when locking the car disappears. Am concerned that the airbag will not deploy correctly. *tr

I have also had this problem on my 2007 santa fe limited (the airbag indicator and the alarm sounding for no reason at the same time). They both started happening at the same time. I have the airbag indicator illuminated in the lower right hand corner of the dashboard control panel. I took it to the dealership on this past monday (23 june 2008) and they were able to see the error code. But could not determine what…

The airbag light has come on multiple times in my vehicle. The clockspring replacement recall was performed on my vehicle. The airbag indicator has continued to come on intermittently since then. Finally, about two months ago, the light came on and stayed on. I took the vehicle into the hyundai dealership and they stated low voltage and reset the light. The light came back on immediately when i drove it off their…

I have brought the car to the dealer three times for repair operations,and a few more times for diagnostic checks,but the problem persists. Attempts at repair have included replacement of the front passenger seat and the air bag system control module. Some of those repair operations seemed to work for a while,but the problem keeps returning. *tr

2007 hyundai santafe - passenger side air bag indicator light shows that the air bags are sometimes turned off when an adult weighing 125 lbs is in the seat. Problem also occurs periodically when a 150 lb adult is in the passenger seat. We have requested that hyundai repair this defect, but their dealer just runs a test and tells us that it "operates as designed". The problem does not occur when the same passenger…

I own a 07 hyundai santa fe. Ever since i bough the car in october i have had trouble with the passenger side air bag sensor. When i sit in the passenger side the air bag sensor either does not sense my weight and turns the air bag off or it actually turns the air bag on, but it fluctuates between on and off. I have read the manual, and i am sitting properly according to hyundai instructions. I have taken the car to…

We have a 2007 hyundai santa fe and have had a problem with the passenger-side air bag since the car was new, but the dealer was never able to fix it. Our dealer (phil long hyundai, colorado springs) now says that the vin for our car is not included in the passenger air bag recall. Is there any way to expand the cars affected so ours can be fixed - or "encourage" them to fix our car? *tr
