Dealer diagnostics came up with codes B1495 pods, B1495 bts & C1513 ABS air bag light came on when starting & stayed on. Had brake switch replaced per recall a few months ago & know have a ABS code that could be the switch again

The seat belt sensor for the air bags has gone out 3 times. The first time happened about 2500K miles and was under warranty, the second time was after 60K miles and we had to pay for it about $100, the third time it went out was about 80K miles. I was quoted $300 to have it replaced again but when I complained they offered to do it for $100. I think this is a safety issue and it appears to need a recall on the part. I do not think that we should have to pay to have this part replaced and in the mean time we are driving around without the sensor working for the air bag. Good job Kia!
