Description of the problem | Passenger air bag light is on. The dealer said that the passenger seat air bag sensor needs replacement. I have been reading many others are experiencing this problem which could cause the air bag may deploy unexpectedly or not even at all. The dealer said my car does not fall under some recall with the same problem for different production dates. The dealer was quick to say t would cost around $2000. 00 to fix this. Called kia and they said it is not a safety issue they worry about. Scary it is an air bag fault. I have been going back in forth with dealer and corporate for assistance but there is no help and i found this site searching and hope you can help not just me but all the others out there having the same problem |
