Description of the problem	Jun 28, 2011 - savannah, ga air bag light on june 1, 2011, i took the car to the dealship because the red "air bag" light came on. Dealer diagnostics found that the occupancy sensor in passenger seat was defective. Technician reset the bit fault for the light, but the hyundai service center that diagnosed the car informed me if it illuminated again, they were not allowed to reset it more than once and it will cost approximately $900 to replace the passenger seat sensor. If it is not replaced, the airbag system will not work. Prior to the red light "air bag" light illuminating, the amber "passenger air bag off" light has illuminated sporatically over the past year or so, sometimes with the passenger seat occupied by an adult, sometimes without a passenger at all. This amber light has also mysteriously flashed on/off at times, again regardless if seat was occupied or not. Research shows numerous amounts of 2007 sonatas with same problem. On june 25th, the red "air bag" light re-illuminated. At both times, the passenger seat was occupied (by an adult). The dealer informs me that nhsta campaign 08v161000 is not applicable to this vin, but the description of the recall summary sounds exactly like the problem demonstrated.
