Description of the problem	The air bag light on the dash along with the "passenger side air bag off" lights came on and stayed on during a 1 hour trip as we were moving to our new apartment. Luckily we did not have very far to move when this sudden safety hazard arose as we could not move a passenger to the back seat. The sensor did not recognize my wife at a little over 110 lbs. Nor myself at over 175 lbs. After taking it to the local kia dealership, we were informed that the ocs mat would need to be replaced with a cost of around $1100 for parts and $230 for the labor. It took about a week to resolve the problem.
