Front Air Bag Sensor Control problems of the 2012 Hyundai Elantra

The airbag on my 2012 Elantra came on at 101,000 miles. Took to dealers, they did a diagnostic and said the passenger seat sensor was bad. Wanted $1500. To replace the seat.

Trying to figure out how to reset or get the airbag sensor to turn off. It came on for no reason, I was not in a accident. It is faulty. The dealer gave me a repair quote that was ridiculous - over $3000. Lots of people are having this problem (see online), this should be under warranty for at least 5 years. This is a safety feature I thought I would send a message.

I was hit from behind by at super duty Ford 250 going approx 50mph. I was stopped and was pushed a car length into a chevy silverado who was also stopped, my trunk took most of the damage but the front end was pretty bad too, but my airbags didn't deploy. Not sure of the mph of the impact to the front of the vehicle, but both driver and passenger have neck strain and back strain; along with multiple brusies from the seat belt. I know the airbags have a sensor, but could they be messed up?.
