Description of the problem	The passenger side airbag sensor in my 2007 kia sorento has failed intermittently ever since i purchased the vehicle in 2009. It fails at least 50% of the time when a passenger is in the seat (sometimes >200 lbs.) upon complaining to the dealer, they continued to insist that the passenger was not sitting properly in the seat. This is ridiculous. I know of no other cars where that is an issue. The dealer says to get out and back in again, but that is not going to happen when you are on a busy highway going 65 mph and realize the airbag is not on. So, then they say to lift your butt up for 10 seconds and then sit back down. It sometimes works, but takes a few tries. And, do you know how embarrassing that is to ask a guest (particularly if a business guest) to do that? Again, it is just so ridiculous that i fear owners will ignore it thus putting their passengers at risk. So, i was thrilled to see that there was finally a recall of the 2007 sorento passenger airbag sensor in the fall of 2011. Finally, they admit there is a problem. However, then the dealer says that my vin is not covered by the recall. Really??? This recall needs to be expanded. I am taking my car back again next week and if it is not replaced by kia, i will be calling the kia headquarters legal department to complain. If you can help get this recall expanded so that i and others do not have to go through this, i would greatly appreciate it.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
