Description of the problem	When i purchased the car as the second owner in march 2010, i noticed that the airbag light had been a problem from the previous owner. However, the dealer assured me that it was fixed. After purchasing the vehicle in 2010 and before i took ownership i had to leave it with the dealer as the airbag and seat belt lights were on. I have taken the vehicle back to the dealer at least three to four times for the same problems, however was told that there were different codes each time. Was told that i needed to replace the seat belt buckle in order correct the airbag light, however, as of 4/3/12 was told by dealership (herb connolly hyundai) that in need to replace the airbag. Also that the airbag was not under warranty and it usually has to be replaced at 60k miles. When i purchased my vehicle it had 81k miles, given this fact, they should have replaced the airbag prior to me purchasing it. The code that is showing now is b1346 (airbag has high resistance). Dealer refuse to correct the problem at no cost after several attempts to get the problem resolved.
