| Description of the problem | I am concerned that the passenger airbag is not functioning properly on my 2006 hyundai sonata lx. There are countless times that a passenger is sitting next to while i am driving and the "passenger airbag off" indicator is lit specifying that the airbag will not deploy if an accident happens. I asked hyundai about this issue and they keep telling me that the "ecu has determined that your passenger is sitting in a position that will be better not to have the airbag deploy. Try adjusting the seat and have the passenger move around etc". Or they tell me that my passenger does not weight enough (115 lbs is plenty). Thank you for your help in rectifying this situation. *jb |
