| 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 | |||
