| Description of the problem | Our 2007 hyundai santa fe has been taken to conicelli hyundai numerous times and complained that the passenger airbag is not detecting my wife sitting in the passenger seat who weighs approximately 110 lbs. Each time, they've told us that the weight requirement is something different, yet always above my wife's weight. I've researched this and have found many of the same complaints (some where people have been seriously injured in an accident due to the airbag not deploying). The mechanics have suggested that my wife sit in the back seat!!! This is not fixing the problem! |
