Description of the problem	My airbag light is stuck on at all times. I have not been in any accidents no body work has been done to the car. The light doesnt flash off and on, it stays on all the time. Several mechanics cannot clear the code or figure out why. Ive been sent to certified hyundai dealerships and they can't figure it out. I ve read all over the internet of people pumping thousands of dollars into fixing it, only to have the light come back on. Im not putting money into a black hole for the problem to never have a permanent solution. I feel unsafe not knowing the real issue. Its not the airbag fuse or wiring as that has been insepected and tested. I have one dealership who won't even look at my car because i think they don't know what to do with it. I have no documents to attach because technically nothing happened to my car to trigger this light. It just came on one day. It doesnt matter if the car is parked or in driving mode or anything. Its always on. I can't pass any state inspections.
