problem #1

Aug 012011

Sorento LX

  • Automatic transmission
  • 47,000 miles

ONGOING PROBLEM THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT INDICATING THE AIRBAG IS OFF, STAYS ON. MY WIFE SITS IN THE SEAT AND THE SEAT DOES NOT THINK SHE IS IN THE SEAT. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN CHECKED BY EVERYONE AT KIA. THEY HAVE SENT SPECIALIST DOWN TO CHECK IT AND STILL CANT FIGURE IT OUT. BY THE WAY THIS IS THE VEHICLE THAT THE DRIVERS AIRBAG DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON.

THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN CHECKED AND CHECKED. STILL NOBODY CAN FIX IT. KIA'S SOLUTION IS EVERY TIME THE LIGHT COMES ON PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF ROAD AND TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND LET IT RESET. WHEN THEY PUT IT ON THE MACHINES NOTHING COMES UP EXCEPT NOT ENOUGH WEIGHT. YES WE KNOW YOU HAVE TO SIT UPRIGHT PUT YOUR FEET FLAT ON FLOOR WE KNOW THAT AND IT DOESN'T FIX IT.
