Description of the problem	Re: failure of the front passenger's air bag to be activated. Hyundai 2008 santa fe with 150 miles i am a 145lb 5'8" male. 75% of the time when i am sitting in the front passenger's seat, the front airbag fails to "turn on". Even though i'm sitting upright with my feet placed on the ground, exactly as described in the owner's manual, the sensors located in the seat cushion fail to recognize me as an adult. I have visited the hyundai dealer and their equipment says the sensors are working. I have numerous witnesses at the dealer who have observed the failure of the sensors to "turn on" the airbag when i'm sitting in the seat.
