Description of the problem	Our 2007 kia sorento has a problem with the passenger air bag system. This is my wife's car and i ride as a passenger. When i ride 75% of the time the air bag light will not go off, this tells us that the passenger airbag system is not on. We have noticed many things that will correct this and also make it happen. One thing is it normally happens after the car has been left off for awhile. The air bag light may go off are you start the car but when you shift it into gear it pops on. You can also get it to come on sometimes when you remove your seat belt. You can sometimes correct the problems by shutting off and resarting the car. Now this is a very annoying problem and a erratic issue. Being a automotive tech and a electronic tech i can see how the kia dealer will not be able to help with out seeing the problem. The kia dealer here is really no help as when we took it in the service manager said "show me the problem" but of course we could not reproduce it at that time. We have since had the car for a few months and have taken notice of how the problem is showing up. We have not taken it in as we have lost confidence in the kia technical staff as to there capabilities of repair. I should say we first bought a 06 sorento and had it in the dealership for 5 weeks out of the 7 weeks, we owned it and traded it in for the 07 trying to give kia a chance to redeem for all the problems before.
