2013 KIA SORENTO Air Bags Problems, Complaints and Defects

Brand	KIA
Model	SORENTO
Model Year	2013
File date	18/11/15
Component	AIR BAGS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	2013 vehicle with 60,939 miles has airbag sensor light on immediately after recall sc 124 performed. Dealer indicates codes b1764 and 1765 ocs defect. Dealer states sensor does not recognize when passenger is in seat, making this a huge safety issue and that no one should sit in this seat because a collision could result in "tragedy." kia says vehicle is out of warranty (by 939 miles) and i am second owner (purchased the vehicle with 12k mikes as certified pre-owned) therefore, kia will split the repair cost 3 ways-kia, dealer, me ($2,200. 00 repair and only factory parts can be used, resulting in over $700. 00 for me to pay if i want my kids to be safe in the car) there are 42 other reports of this exact defect at http://repairpal. Com/air-bag-light-indicator-691 similar mileage and same seat location on many of those reports. Dealer claims to have seen this issue on other vehicles as well. Nhtsa should investigate this issue, as airbags save lives, and kia's airbag sensors are defective. No consumer should have to bear this unreasonable financial burden on a three year old car for an airbag sensor that goes out at a few miles over 60,000. Sensor remains on constantly. Shame on you, kia. This was my third kia because i trusted kia's commitment to safety. I will not make this mistake again.
