Our 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe has been taken to conicelli Hyundai numerous times and complained that the passenger airbag is not detecting my wife sitting in the passenger seat who weighs approximately 110 lbs. Each time, they've told us that the weight requirement is something different, yet always above my wife's weight. I've researched this and have found many of the same complaints (some where people have been seriously injured in an accident due to the airbag not deploying). The mechanics have suggested that my wife sit in the back seat!!! this is not fixing the problem!.

When my wife is seated in the passenger seat the air bag sensor will not recognize that a person is occupying the passenger seat. My wife weighs approximately 140 lbs. This has been a regular problem for the last few years and has not gone away. It is the same problem as the current NHTSA campaign (08v161000) for 2006-2008 Hyundai sonatas for which Hyundai has issued a recall. We have visited multiple dealerships and they have all told us this is a common problem with the Santa Fe, however since Hyundai has not issued a recall there is nothing they can do to fix the problem. This is a very dangerous problem as both the front and side passenger air bags will not deploy in an accident which could result in serious injury or death to a passenger. We currently own a 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe with 37,000 miles.
Air bag light is on for the third time in two years of ownership, dealer claims to have replaced a sensor on the second visit. I am concerned in the unlikely event of a frontal crash the air bags will not deploy. It also causes the alarm to go off 15 seconds after locking doors.
2007 Santa Fe taken in for the 2nd time today as the airbag indicator light is permanently on. The 1st time this happened (few months ago) they replaced the sensor, but it has happened again. At the same time, the 'beep' when locking the car disappears. Am concerned that the airbag will not deploy correctly.
