2006 Hyundai SONATA Air Bags Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	923187
Internal NHTSA #	10460641
Manufacurer	HYUNDAI MOTOR COMPANY
Brand	HYUNDAI
Model	SONATA
Model Year	2006
File date	19/05/12
Component	AIR BAGS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Airbag light on dashboard was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local hyundal dealer shop . The technician performed diagnostics and found that occupant classification system (ocs) in passenger seat was defected. Technician indicated that this can be fixed by replacing a whole passenger seat, which will cost about $1100. I don't see why i should have to pay for something that was not due to wear. 85% of the time, passenger seat is not in use. I find it curious that there are so many complaints about this exact problem, on this model, and that the failure has occurred for many at between 50k and 75k miles. Please investigate!
