Description of the problem	I am writing to request your assistance with the following airbag issue i have been having with my hyundai sonata and also to have this issue documented in the event of something tragic occurring to my wife or children since they are usually passengers in my car. This is obviously a malfunction on hyundai's part. You see, for the past several years, my airbag light has been randomly going on causing me stress and concern on whether or not the airbag will actually work if i get in an accident. As you can see from the following documentation, something is obviously wrong and i refuse to pay another penny. In fact, i am asking for hyundai to refund the money i have already put out. Below are the chain of events: passenger airbag light first went on 8/10/12. Dealership sent entire seat to california and was "repaired" by re-programming it. On 7/3/13, airbag light went on again for no reason and this time i had to pay over $300 for repair because it was past my warranty. On 12/2/14, airbag light went on for third time for no reason and i refuse to pay to fix it again, since it's evident by now there is no way i can affect this light by driving and it's a vehicle malfunction. I need your assistance to get this issue resolved. I have reached out to hyundai and they sent a representative to test the passenger seat last month. However, the rep mentioned a class action suit going on right now regarding the weight of the passenger, but i don't believe this pertains to our problem, which was confirmed by the hyundai rep after seeing our problem. Since then, my follow-up calls to hyundai have gone unanswered. Please help before someone dies!
