Description of the problem	One morning that i started the car, my airbag light wouldn't go off after the start-up. It has been 5 months since this light came on, and i brought it to a hyundai dealer's service center. After their diagnostic, they said it's a sensor in the driver's seat belt had shorten out and it's causing airbag sign to come on. The mechanic also told me that this means that in case of accident that my driver-side airbag wouldn't inflate. This seems like a common problem after reading several websites about this particular model and year's airbag light problem, but hyundai is keep denying their responsibility. Another thing that it's shocking to me is that in case a person is driving without a seatbelt, airbag wouldn't inflate, just as an electrical failure in seatbelt buckle can cause malfunction in deployment of the airbag system. This doesn't make any sense to me.. Why would a car maker would ever design a system like this? To punish people who are driving without a seatbelt? When i asked this question, the hyundai dealer representative said that he doesn't make a car but there to sell it!
