| Description of the problem | 2008 hyundai santa fe passenger airbag works sporadically at best. Passenger weighs around 120 pounds and the light goes on and off leading me to believe that the airbag would not work effectively in an accident. Have taken to the dealer twice now and they were unable to replicate the problem. It appears that the sonota has been recalled for a very similar issue. This has occurred the at 50 miles vehicle currently has 600 miles. |
