2008 Hyundai SANTA FE Air Bags Frontal Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	699619
Internal NHTSA #	10247710

Model	SANTA FE
Model Year	2008
File date	02/11/08
Component	AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	My 2008 hyundai santa fe seems to have a faulty passenger occupant sensor. My wife weighs about 105 lbs. And the sensor intermittently recognizes the passenger seat as being occupied. When i sit in the passenger seat the airbag sensor light will turn off. I weigh 198 lbs. My wife can usually position the seat to make the airbag sensor light turn off but then the sensor light will come back on again after approximately 30 seconds of driving. This is a safety hazard since the passenger seat occupancy sensor should register anything over 100 lbs. As an adult and therefore the sensor should remain off indicating that the air bag is activated. The hyundai dealer checked out the sensor and stated that it was working normally.
