Description of the problem	60-70% of the time a smaller person sits in my front passenger seat the "passenger airbag off" remains lit. I took the car in for the first time in 2006, right after buying the car, to have it looked at which time i was told they couldn't recreate the situation. I have 3 different friends/relatives/coworkers who are able to vouch that when they have sat in the seat at various times the light has remained lit. I took the vehicle in today pursuant to the recall notice and yet again i was told that they could not recreate the scenario and so my vehicle is not going to be fixed. I was told that they have had 3 cars tested at this dealership so far and none have had the defect detected even though one other owner complained that her vehicle has had the problem in the past. I don't believe hyundai has done enough to detect which cars have this defect, nor informed their dealerships on how to detect the problem as they are simply picking people out of their employee base to sit in the seat. The woman who was going to test my seat today said she weighed 150 lbs. I'm not sure that really qualifies as a small statured person, although they did end up testing it with a lighter weight person after i spoke up.
