Description of the problem	2007 kia sorento passenger seat air bag alarm - due to seat sensor problems or other problems. Problem has recurred hundreds of times since purchased new. Advised by service manager of greer, sc kia that fault was due to passenger not sitting properly in seat with feet positioned properly but advised by a kia technician, confidentially, that this is not true. Passenger seat sensor was adjusted after several visits but fault recurs time after time which means the passenger air bag will not deploy in the event of a crash. Kia does not appear to take matter seriously. This could result in deaths. Other dealer representatives refers the problem back to service manager only. Number of complaints: at least six or more - to little avail. Problem still exists from time to time. Usually the passenger can bounce up and down several times and finally get the alarm to extinguish showing normal air bag operation for the passenger side. Wrote letter to regional kia dealership to no avail. Called kia help line to no avail. Only told to refer problem to kia dealership service manager. Incident date since time of purchase in june or july, 2007. Guessing purchase date since it has been a few years. Still own vehicle.
