Description of the problem	I bought a new 2007 kia sorento on 11-1-07 from banner kia in mandeville, la. With my wife in the passenger seat (125 lbs.) the air bag light remains illuminated indicating that the air bag in inoperable. The vehicle was returned to the dealer and the technicians supposedly fixed the problem. Enroute home the light came on again. The dealer then supposedly recalibrated a sensor and the light stayed out. Now my daughter who weighs 117 lbs will not put the light out to put the air bag in service. Have you had similar complaints on kia vehicles? I am beginning to think that the dealership technicians are not capable in making my vehicle safe. Any suggestions?
