| Description of the problem | When i sit in the passenger seat, the airbag light indicates "off". I weigh 130 lbs and i have read the owners manual on this topic. It does not matter how i am positioned in the seat, this function does not work correctly. I have visited my service department and called hyundai consumer affairs. They state that the unit is working as designed, but cannot describe how it is designed to work, ie, what weight limit sets the airbag to "on" position. As a normal sized adult, i feel that my airbag should be operational. I do not feel safe in this vehicle. Please advise hma to repair this problem. |
