Description of the problem	I had noticed that the "passenger airbag off" light in my 2007 hyundai sonata was sometimes coming on even when there was a passenger in the seat. We then received notice that there was a recall on this specific problem. We took our car to the dealer 11/3/08 and were advised that the passenger seat would be sent to california for repair. I picked up the car 11/9/08. Because we later noticed that the problem continued, we returned the car to the dealer 6/16/09. They again advised us they would return the seat to california for repair. I picked up the car from the dealer 7/6/09. Again the car light continued to indicate the passenger airbag was off when there was an adult passenger in the seat. One evening my husband and i drove the car to the dealer to show them that the airbag off light was on while i was seated in the passenger seat. The asst serv mgr was there and confirmed that the light was not functioning properly. On 9/23/09 i returned the car to the dealer and was met by the central region dist pts & svc mgr who discussed this issue with me. He suggested things to try (having the back of the seat in the straight up position, being sure to be seated in the center of the seat, sitting still for a few seconds after starting the car to be sure everything had engaged properly). He said we should let him know if none of this helped to alleviate the problem. None of these suggestions helped so we again contacted the cntrl rgn dist pts & svc mgr as instructed. After phone calls and discussions between him and my husband we have now been advised that nothing else will be done. Our concerns are: how do we know whether the airbag will work if a crash should occur? We have been told the airbag itself is ok, but if that's true then why can't we get that in writing? If it's just the light that's defective, why won't someone fix it? What are the legal ramifications if a passenger should be injured in our car since we are unsure if the airbag will work or not?

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
