Description of the problem	Around 18 months ago the red air bag warning light in the dash cluster would come on at different times. Later the light came on and stayed on. I took it to a dealer and paid $100 to have it reset and was told it was possibly a poor ground which they cleaned. The light remained off for less than a month, came on and off for a while and is now on full time. Have read much about people spending thousands of dollars at dealers with no end in sight and nothing fixing the problem. I can not find accurate information explaining if the light being on is a indication of the air bags not being able to operate properly or at all, or if it only indicates some section has a problem. This affects my safety and well being as well as causing a loss of value when i sell the car. I would think that hyundai should stand behind any parts and labor that are related to vehicle safety.
