Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	We purchased a 2008 kia sorento from kia of bradley, illinois, last november. The front passenger air bag light signals that the air bag is off, even though somebody is sitting in the seat. As i understand it, then, that if you were in a front end accident and the light is stating the air bag is off, it will not deploy. We have complained numerous times to kia of bradley, talked with the regional manger, and his boss and their stand is that my wife is sitting wrong in the seat. I don't buy this. There was a recall, we took it in to be fixed, that did not help. Also, the front passenger seat was replaced and that did not help either. They did all this work but continue to maintain that my wife is sitting in the seat incorrectly.
