Description of the problem	I own a 2006 hyundai sonata that is plagued with the "passenger air bag off" light (even with my 120 lb wife in the seat) along with the dashboard "air bag light that just turned on yesterday. As i see on the internet, this year along with newer models seem to be plagued with this problem. Response from corporate is, as usual to the consumer, it's your tough luck, buddy. Response from dealers are "open up your wallet and we'll pretend to fix it". This is a hideous and extremely dangerous situation that deserves a recall of the utmost importance. The usual question, of course, is how many deaths or injuries will it take to make this company step up and fix this extremely common problem with their product?
