Description of the problem	2006 hyundai sonata gls: a short time after purchasing vehicle, the ocs "passenger airbag off" light would come on with the seat occupied by my wife, weight 150 + lbs. I took it in many times to my dealer. They made several attempts to fix it (unsuccessfully) i complained to the national headquarters, more attempts to fix (unsuccessfully. I was also told after submitting the vin # that it was not included in the recall. Just about 2 weeks ago i was told by national office that they could not and would no longer attempt to repair the system. I was told after i kept expressing my disbelief that i could submit the problem to the national bbb dispute resolution, which i promptly did. Strangely, today 9/ 06/08, i received a motor recall notice (after being told by at least 4 hyundai personnel that my vehicle was not eligible for recall. ) after 2 years, the ocs still deactivates the passenger air bag when the seat is occupied. This happens sporadically and usually when we are on the freeway where stopping, jiggling in the seat, bouncing up and down are not possible (all suggestions by service dept.) my concern to everyone i have spoken to for the past 2 years has been and still is that if the airbag deactivates and we were to have an accident, this could be catastrophic. I have offered to hold them faultless if they would just disable the ocs system and leave the passenger air bag operational as we have no small children or grandchildren. I am hoping one more time that there is a real solution to this problem and will take the vehicle in first thing monday morning. I was told by my dealer not to bring the car back unless i had a recall notice. Our last word from hyundai was that their conclusion is that the problem is our fault, not the vehicles, because of the way we sit in the seat.
