Description of the problem	We had the passenger seat re-calibrated due to lit airbag light sometime last year under the previous recall - we were not notified by hyundai at all and instead, were told by the dealer when we took the car in that it was a recall item, which we found unconscionable on the manufacturer's part. We could not afford an airbag repair and drove the car for over a year, and found out later that the defect would render the entire system nonfunctional. The airbag light is lit again - the dealer told us not to put anything on the passenger seat besides a person so as not to trigger "something". When i inquired again about the lit airbag light, the dealer told me "it could be the seat belt" and quoted a price well over $100. It is clear the dealer, capital city hyundai in tallahassee, florida is already aware of the problem, and therefore, so is hyundai. Now i see that this is an emerging problem through an edmund's article dated july 25, 2014 - please compel hyundai to act on this defect as soon as possible. My college aged son and teen daughter use the car and i worry constantly about their safety. Consumers should not have to pay for a defect involving safety at all - i paid for the car once!!
