problem #1

Mar 042005

Sorento 4WD 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 45 miles
The "passenger airbag off" light remain lit even with an adult in the passenger seat. I have only owned the 2005 Kia Sorento ex for 2 days and everytime a passenger is in the seat they must try to reposition themselves and then you turn off the ignition and restart the engine before light will go off. I have seen this issue posted on some Kia discussion forums and so far dealers have no answer to the problem.
