Description of the problem	I have a 2006 hyundai sonata. Around 58,000 miles the "passenger air bag" light started to turn off and on randomly.. I took it to the dealer and they couldn't figure it out, saying there are no logs. Shortly after 60,000 miles (warranty expiration) the light started turning on and off more often, on its own, and now in addition the "air bag" light in the dashboard turned on solid. I took it to the dealer, and now they can see the logs (after warranty), they said the air bag sensors in the passenger seat have a short and the cost is $1200 + tax + labor. And failure to fix the problem risks the passenger air bag not activating if there is an accident, god forbids.
