Description of the problem	On november of 2011, the "airbag" light in my sonata came on and stayed on. Upon investigation by the hyundai dealership, i was told that it was a problem with my seat belt. I had it repaired at a cost of $325. 79. At that time i made a formal complaint to you. Nhtsa id number: 10436650 now i have the same problem again! My airbag light came on the week of 4/7/13 (odometer 112,660) and again i have been told it is the seat belt. Again it will cost upwards of $300. 00. And this is just 19,250 miles since i had it repaired it seems to me that this is an indication of either a defective part or a defective design. I have been told that the airbag will not work when the airbag light is on so i see this as a critical defect that needs to be investigated by the nhtsa. If a vehicle's airbags shut down every 20,000 miles or so, in my opinion the vehicle is a danger to consumers. Judging from a cursory search on the internet, i see that there are many other hyundai sonatas with the same issue. Please investigate.
