Description of the problem	Car has sensor in passenger seat to disable passenger air bag. Air bag disable light comes on even when adult sitting in seat. Seat cushion and sensor was replaced by dealor but the problem still exists. Contacted kia directly and was told they are aware of the problem but have no fix. This is a very serious problem and could result in serious injury or death in the event of a frontal accident and tbhe passenger air bag does not deploy. From my research i find this is a common problem and not unique to my vehicle. I think a recall should be considered.
