Description of the problem	On nov. 7, 2013, i notified hyundai that we had been experiencing problems with the sonata's occupant classification system (ocs). The system did not consistently recognize my wife as an adult passenger, even though she clearly exceeded the necessary weight threshold designed to activate the airbag sensor. Hyundai, after mechanical/electronic review, stated the ocs was working as designed. It wasn't. We returned the vehicle for service on april 1, 2014, and again on may 22, 2014, only to have hyundai tell us the ocs was operating "ok". Again, on july 30, 2015, we returned the vehicle for service, as the ocs was still malfunctioning. Hyundai, at that time, performed a reprogramming. Still the ocs does not consistently recognize my wife as an adult passenger. I have contacted hyundai an almost innumerable number of times in regard to this issue. Though hyundai even had an arbitrator document the defect, to date we still have no resolution. It is unsafe for my wife, or any other adult passenger, to ride in the car. And, as one can see by the history, it has been that way for quite some time.
