Description of the problem	Hyundai sonata passenger and main air bag failure 2006 vehicle. Brought vehicle in for passenger air bag failure/ recall. Hyundai state all working ok, air bag still not working. Hyundai did nothing to correct problem. Adult sits in front passenger and air bag light still does not work all the time. I am driving an unsafe vehicle were i don't feel confident the passenger air bag will deploy when it has too. What is hyundai waiting for, a death due to the arrogance? November 2009 main air bag indicators come on. Hyundai does diagnostic and tells me seat belt tensioner failure. They refuse to pay for it, they replace seat belt buckles and tensioners. Main air bag problem corrected but passenger air bag still intermittent problem. I have been in contact with hyundai consumer affairs and they refuse to pay for the repairs since it is out of warranty. The car was less than 3 years old with 74,353 miles . Is this a safety issue or a warranty issue? I paid for the repairs but i never know if the air bag system will work properly. What rights do i have in this matter since hyundai is not taking responsibility? Also there is a recall on the hyundai azer 2006-2009 for failure of the seat belt tension sensors. This is the same problem that i experienced in my 2006 sonata. Who is to say that they used the same part in my vehicle? I would appreciate if you contact me and let me know how i get reimbursed for the repairs and get my car save again.
