2006 Hyundai SANTA FE Air Bags Problems, Complaints and Defects

Manufacurer	Hyundai Motor America
Brand	HYUNDAI
Model	SANTA FE
Model Year	2006
File date	12/08/14
Component	AIR BAGS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Air bag red light on failed to turn off after first starting the engine (normally it would turn off after about 5 secs after starting the engine) and remained on at regular driving speeds. It never went off regardless of speeds ranging from 0 (standing still) to 70 mph (the latter speed on interstate highway). It never went off regardless of whether or not a person was in the passenger seat. I took the car to the dealership, where it was purchased. After diagnostic tests, i was told by the service representative the problem was a bad sensor in the passenger's seat, and it would cost about $2,600. 00 to fix it. Since the seat would have to be taken apart to fix the sensor, a replacement seat would probably have to be ordered, thus the high cost.. I was also told that since the airbag light now remains on, the air bag system is no longer functional and the airbags will not deploy as designed. I did not elect to fix the sensor because of the expense and also needing to fix the air conditioner, which cost over $600. 00. I am now driving a vehicle without a functional airbag system.
