Model Year	2006
File date	03/06/13

Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	80,000 miles air bag warning light came on while driving. When occupant is seated in the occupant seat, "air bag warning off" light remains (even to this date 11/18/14). A kia specialist, in asheville, nc, diagnosed as wear and tear. Also, stated that it could be someone not sitting in the seat properly and/or over weight could cause it to go out. Seriously, no one in my car is over 190 lbs. The sensor isn't working and they said it would be $1800 to replace the seat and the sensor. Kia knows there are issues with the kia spectra 2006 just like the rios. After researching on line and finding others have had the same issues with their kia's spectra 2006 airbag, it is obvious that kia has airbag issues with the spectra 2006 which needs to be resolved.
