Car Forum / Kia Cars / June 2005Air bag - Kia Sorento '03
Hello for some reason I cannot understand why I keep having this persistent problem. The airbag warning light stays lit constantly while driving. So far I've had the clockspring behind the steering wheel replaced twice and the airbag itself replaced 3 times. The last time the airbag was replaced was back in April of this year and now the light is back on! My Sorento currently has 32K miles. I'm just curious what's making these bags go bad, the dealers don't seem to have a clue they just keep ordering and replacing them. Thanks for any information in advance > Hello for some reason I cannot understand why I keep having this persistent > problem. The airbag warning light stays lit constantly while driving.

Thanks for any information in advance From what I read over on http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/WebX?ed_displayMakeModelRelatedDiscussions@@.ef 14c39!make=Kia also at http://www.sorentoclub.com/ It is a wiring problem under the drivers seat. I would contact KIA direct and get someone to take notice. Being a safety issue you might stand a chance of getting some real help it solving the problem. Goodluck. The warning light does not always indicate a problem with the airbag itself. It could also indicate a problem with either the wiring or one or more sensors. You should contact Kia directly and get them to take note of this because it is a safety issue.

Thanks for any information in advance Chances are you have a problem with one of your forward seatbelts, have your garage scan it. > Hello for some reason I cannot understand why I keep having this persistent > problem.

Thanks for any information in advance Thanks guys for the good suggestions. I've contacted Kia consumer affairs and they got in touch with my local dealer. Now Kia wants me to take the truck back to the local dealer. Will keep you posted... > Chances are you have a problem with one of your forward seatbelts, have your > garage scan it.
