| Description of the problem | Since new, passenger air bag light worked intermittently, however, only when 120 pound wife in seat. Taken to dealer 4 times, no problem found. Contacted consumer affairs of hyundai. Have been told the system was working properly. Dealer technician advised me if airbag light off warning light illuminated with wife in seat, system determined not necessary to deploy bag. Under exact same circumstances air bag light may or may not illuminate. No pattern in the on/off circumstances. Owner manual stated if light illuminated with passenger in seat, have passenger sit in back seat, and yet dealer claimed okay to sit in seat with warning illuminating. *ak |
