Description of the problem	2008 hyundai santa fe front passenger airbag light intermittently comes on stating airbag is off when there is a passenger sitting in the seat. I brought back to dealership and they claim they never saw this happen before on a santa fe but it did on the tucson. They put on a machine and claimed it was fine and of course would not happen when it was at the dealership. They told me they had to make some calls and i might need the seat replaced because the sensor may be bad and i would hear from them in a couple days. That was june 24, 2009 and it is now july 13, 2009 and i have not heard a thing. It happened last night when my husband and i went out and i took pictures and video of it to show me sitting in seat and the light on and without revealing my weight, believe me i am heavy enough to make the light stay off. I am going to call them again tomorrow and hope for some results. This could be a fatal defect and i demand it to be repaired.
