| Description of the problem | When my wife sits in the passenger seat of our 2007 hyundai sonata, sometimes the light on the dash is lit, indicating the car does not sense a passenger is sitting there. In the event of a crash, the airbag would not deploy. The dealer replaced the jell pack under the seat but the problem is continuing. My wife is 5"7" and weighs 126 lbs. The dealer said to be careful about posture. We drove the car to pennsylvania and back without a problem. *nm |
