Description of the problem	Back when the clock spring had a recall we had it fixed, shortly after the repair the airbag light came back on they told us it was up to us to repair with a costly bill. Our state inspection ran out and the car was rejected due to the airbag light being on. They ran diagnosis and it came back to the ocs sensor mat in the passenger seat, that will cost me $1800. I did some research on this issue and found that there are other optima owners with this same issue. There is a recall on this part in the same year ranges on the rio. I would bet they used the same brand and sensor in probably all the cars in these years, so why only recall one model ? This is clearly a safety issue that needs to be the responsibility of the manufacturer, and they know and understand this due to them having one recall out already. I don't feel i should pay to have my car repaired when rio owners don't for the same safety issue.
