The air bag warning light comes on frequently while I am driving and the passenger side air bag does not always turn off when there is not a passenger sitting in the passenger seat like it should. It is to the point where I am afraid to drive my car after spending a ridiculous amount of money on our family car. Please help us. Thank you in advance.

Airbag light comes on and off at random, regardless of whether there is a passenger in the seat or not. Car was taken to a Hyundai dealership, and they discovered a seat cushion with a sensor was malfunctioning. This would cost close to a $1000 to fix. This is a safety issue, thus, this should be a recall. Do not wait until enough people and children have died from this. Most of us do not have $1000 to dish out for a fancy seat cushion. I see from many complaints that this is a big problem. Please take this seriously and put out a recall for those of us that are too broke to fix a safety malfunction that came with the car.

Passenger seat airbag sensor malfunction. Started on 21 June 2019, I started my car and noticed the red airbag dash light on and the passenger "airbag off" light out. A few days later, I started my car and the red dash light stayed off and the "airbag off" light was working. It works off and on till this day; weight some times influences it. Most of the time it is unresponsive and the dash light is on. Dealership diagnosed it for $100 and confirmed it was the $1200 passenger seat airbag sensor.
