Description of the problem	The passenger air bag on my 2006 hyundai santa fe does not activate (arm itself) when my daughter sits in the seat. My daughter is an adult, weighs approximately 110 lbs and is properly seated and with seat belts on. This situation was presented to the salisbury hyundai dealer when i first got the car, and recently to the oursidman hyundai dealer in laurel, md where i purchased the car. Both dealers claim they can not duplicate the event, using another purson as the test subject. They have not performed any test to confirm that the installation of the safety feature is proper, meets your standards, or even at what weight the lightly finally turns off. This situation is dangerous to my daughter and other children or grandchildren riding in the front seat. My daughter is a practicing lawyer in maryland and refuses to waste her time visiting the dealership until they complete a valid performance test. I agree, and believe the only benefit of bringing her to the dealership would be to prove i'm not lying. I contacted hyundai customer service at 1-800-633-5151 ext 54327 on october 28th and he assigned case no. 3427197 to it and referred it to others. I next heard from "annie" at ext 54313, who got the case and she tried to tell me that the seat is set at 140 lbs, and other nonsense information. This kind of correction of a safety issue is not acceptable. I expect hyundai to wither fix the seat of replace it. The car has less than 30k miles and is under full warranty. Your assistance is requested in making hyundai comply with our safety standards.
