Description of the problem | I have a 2006 hyundai tuscon purchased new. The passenger airbag indicator goes off 70% of the time that an adult weighing 102 pounds is seated. The dealer said they could not find any problem, denied knowing that there is history of problems with the hyundai airbags, and gave me the company line that the passenger had to be seated a particular way. I have video taped the situation with the light on while a passenger is seated with a newspaper in the video. I will again request the dealer to replace the sensor. *jb |
