We own a 2005 Santa Fe by Hyundai. We have been reading blogs about the air bag light being illuminated as a result of the seat belt sensor going bad on these vehicles and not deploying in the case of an accident. Ours is now demonstrating this. The red air bag light will remain illuminated and the issue after being run through a diagnostic at a local dealership was as expected tied to a seat belt sensor issue. I know that there are more of these issues and some have actually won cases dealing on an individual level with Hyundai of America which is what we intend to do, but if this is such a rampant issue, there should be a further investigation done and a voluntary recall on their part to assure that the air bags are deployable at all times and not just while the car is under warranty.

2005 Hyundai sante fe (I have two of the same model and year) I brought the vehicles in for the initial air bag recall (child safety - weight in the front seat. ) that seemed to remove the air bag light for about a month. They reset them again for a second, third and fourth time. Now even without a passenger, the 'passenger air bag off' light is out and the air bag light is on. The dealer says that this is not a known issue, but I have seen it on more than one site and I have it happening on two of the same vehicles, one my wife drives (5'2" tall, average) and the other I drive (6'-3" tall, heavy). Being a safety issue, it should be covered, but the dealer refuses to fix it without charging close to $600 ea. Vehicle. There is nothing under the seats as they have stated to make sure that things are clear underneath. Just wondering why nothing has been done to date on a recall that effects the safety and well being of people.
