Reported at 29,000 miles, February 2008 CrashInjury

Since I purchased my 2007 sonata, the passenger airbag light will intermittently stayed illuminated when a small adult is in the front passenger seat. In the month of october I received the recall notice 08v161000 (airbags) and immediately called the dealer to schedule an appointment to have this fixed. When I arrived the service manager had another employee sit in the passenger seat. The light went off so they said nothing is wrong.
