Description of the problem	2008 hyundai santa fe - passenger side front airbag light indicates that the airbag is not working when a passenger, who weighs around 170 lbs is in the seat. I have brought this car to two different dealerships for repair, on four separate occasions. The first time, they couldn't recreate the issue, i left the dealership, the problem happened again within 10 minutes. I took pictures and video of the passenger in the seat with the "air bag off" light illuminated. Brought it back the next day, they replaced a weight sensor. Issue was still happening, brought it back the third time and was told they couldn't recreate the issue. Again, i drove off the lot, and the issue happened again. Called hyundai customer service, and was told to bring it in again. This time i brought it to another dealership, and today was told that they couldn't recreate the issue, but they will try again tomorrow. One of the main reasons i bought this car was safety. I will not ride with a passenger in the front seat, because, chances are that the airbag will not work or will not work properly. Hyundai needs to address this as there are many many complaints online from santa fe owners.
