Problems with 2006 Hyundai Azera AIR BAGS

My 2006 hyundai azera has been to the dealership no less than 12 times, before and after a pertinent recall repair, for an issue where the "passenger airbag off" warning light is illuminated despite passengers of various heights and weights being seated in the passenger seat. my nearest hyundai dealership has failed to correct this critical safety issue on countless occasions, including replacing the entire passenger seat bottom. the last few attempted repairs consisted of "reprogramming" the sensors in the passenger seat; resetting the error code and sending me away in a vehicle with defective 'advanced airbags' which do not meet the nhtsas regulatory definition. the issue is present in a majority of hyundai models that use their proprietary ocs system, but narrowly-applied settlements of litigation have prevented this from evolving into a class settlement, and greatly reduced the ability of consumers to have their problems addressed. vehicle owners that don't qualify under the recent (july 28, 2012) santa fe recall are again being denied the federally mandated requirement of a functional advanced airbag system. *tr

I have owned my 2006 hyundai azera since 9/06. from the beginning my complaint to them has been the passenger air bag would not engage when i was sitting as a passenger. i am petite but the answer of "you are just too thin" was really not the professional answer i was searching for. this also has happened when my 16 year old 180lbs son was my passenger. in 1997, i was involved in a head on collision with a drunk driver. i was very adamant with the service dept about this issue as i know my air bag deployment saved me in that crash. when did hyundai know this was a problem with the azera during the years they were telling me i did not weigh enough. what will i be before this gets fixed, if they are better than toyota at that, or, if i am involved in another innocent accident? i just don't think this recently discovered as it has been happening to me since 2006. i feel as if my life has been arbitrarily ignored for the past 4 years and that is wrong. *tr

Passenger air bag intermittently disengages while driving. with an average size adult sitting in the passenger seat, the airbag light (indicating that the air bag is disengaged) often turns off while traveling. *nm
