| Description of the problem | I did not have an accident or anything to that nature. We bought our daughter a 2013 kia rio. I was sitting in the passenger seat and noticed that the passenger seat is much lower than to drivers seat. I realized god forbid if the airbag goes off, the person will be hit in the face instead of the chest. Im not sure if you can help me, but is this a defect in the car. I found it odd. The car was bought at autoworld kia in east meadow ny. Thank you for your help |
