Description of the problem	2005 hyundai sante fe (i have two of the same model and year) i brought the vehicles in for the initial air bag recall (child safety - weight in the front seat.) that seemed to remove the air bag light for about a month. They reset them again for a second, third and fourth time. Now even without a passenger, the 'passenger air bag off' light is out and the air bag light is on. The dealer says that this is not a known issue, but i have seen it on more than one site and i have it happening on two of the same vehicles, one my wife drives (5'2" tall, average) and the other i drive (6'-3" tall, heavy). Being a safety issue, it should be covered, but the dealer refuses to fix it without charging close to $600 ea. Vehicle. There is nothing under the seats as they have stated to make sure that things are clear underneath. Just wondering why nothing has been done to date on a recall that effects the safety and well being of people.
