Description of the problem	My wife and i purchased a 2008 hyundai santa fe. The car is great running vehicle except for one safety problem: the front passenger airbag sensor does not detects my wife as an adult and toggles on and off at will. It is really frightening to be traveling down an highway or any road and realize that i have no airbag. My wife is 5' 3 " and weighs about 120 lbs and at times i needed to have her reposition seat to the total upright position to reset the airbag indication light. This does not give me a sense of security since i don't feel confident that it would deploy if needed . I called two hyundai dealers and was advised that this a common problem and suggested for me to come in for a checkup. I at this time have not made an appointment with the dealer but will certainly make one asap.
