What is your question?
Passenger air bag "Off" light stays on even when there is a full size adult sitting in the passenger seat. This happens intermittently only when passenger sits on a small soft pillow to enhance the comfort of the sitting position in a Tucson leather seat with power controls. This is a serious safety issue due to airbag is not activated even when someone over 120 lbs is there. Hyundai says this is due to the soft pillow spread out the weight and hence the sensor is not detecting people over 90 lbs is sitting in the chair. I've heard that seat cover may also cause the same issue. It seems like a defect in the design of the weight sensor. Sensors need to detect occupancy whenever more than 90 lbs are in the seat, with or without pillows. I'm sure Hyundai will never hear the end of it if anyone is injured due to the airbag failed to deploy in an accident. Anyone knows a bypass to have the airbag always on, like the older vehicles?
What makes this problem better or worse?
When passenger sits on any seat cushion or pillow in the passenger seat.
