2007 kia Rio has an airbag light on all the time, with a code specifying the passenger seat mat sensor. When clearing the code for the airbag, the code is rethrown after about 10 seconds. Nhtsa recall #12v244000 applied to certain models of the 2005-2007 model era, but didn't include all of them, as the vehicle has no open seat mat recall and none had been repaired in the past. Evidently the issue is more widespread than the initial recall. The light stays on all the time.
I just recent had the battery put in my car. An now the air bag light stays on for the driver on that dash board. An don't know why it's on. The car has been driven in the past few months. So we are scared to be out on the road an it doesn't protect us if we get into an accident an someone gets killed.
Just after the warranty expired at 61, 230 miles we had to replace the front passenger side seat cushion because the air bag light came on and kia would not cover it under their recall. Kia's safety recall campaign number is sc097.
The dashboard airbag light came on approximately 1 year ago, and when I contacted the kia dealership where I purchased the vehicle they advised me that they would have to charge me to search for the cause of the problem. . . I heard of a recall on the kia Rio airbags on NHTSA and I called kia to ask to bring my vehicle in so the problem could be fixed and the service department told me that they are unaware of any such problems with that vehicle and would not allow me to bring the vehicle in unless I paid to have it looked at!!!.
Air bag light does not go out all the time when a passenger is in the passerger seat.
