| Description of the problem | Purchased a 2007 hyundai santa fe in feb/07. The passenger side airbag light intermittently turns on (airbag is inactivated) and off (no light means airbag activated) when my 5'6" 120lbs wife sits in the seat. All positional suggestions in the manual (sitting straight up, feet flat on the floor, etc) have been adhered to with the same intermittent result. I would hazard a guess and say that the passenger airbag is off 75% of the time when she sits in the seat. The only suggestion we have received from the dealership is to sit in the back seat. |
