Description of the problem	My husband and i just purchased this 2008 santa fe gls (used with 10,000 miles) about two weeks ago. We noticed this issue two days later. The passenger airbag will not turn on when i, a 120 lb, 5' 7", 31 year old adult female sit in the seat. I took it in to the hyundai service center and was simply told that i was not heavy enough to activate the seat so there was nothing i could do. I was also told that it is set to activate for anyone over 110 lbs. I am definitely heavier than that. This seems to me to be a safety issue which should be resolved quickly as i have read of many other customers with similar issues.
