Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	We have a 2007 hyundai santa fe and the front passenger seat air bag indicator is malfunctioning. My wife (the passenger) is 5' 3' and 115 pounds. She sits in the seat properly as stated in the manual, however sometimes the air bag light is illuminated "off" indicating that the system is not active (air bag system will not engage in case of a frontal crash), other times (30%) it works properly. I've taken it to the dealer 3 times, 4379, 5767 and 11,421 miles. They replaced the seat but it didn't change anything. They said they could do nothing else and my wife should sit in the back seat. When we test drove this vehicle everything worked fine, three weeks later the problem started. My wife and i have become reluctant to drive this vehicle in its current condition. If hyundai motor america cannot fix this problem as they have stated, they should replace or buy this (these) vehicles back. I can't understand how this vehicle received a 5 star crash rating with so many similar complains about the same problem.
