Front Air Bag Sensor Control problems of the 2007 Kia Motor RIO

The 'airbag' dash light illuminates and the dealership has determined the cause of the failure is the sensor assembly located in the front passenger's seat cushion. This problem was addressed by a 'voluntary safety recall campaign' conducted by kia affecting "2006-2008 my Rio occupant classification system mat" but according to the local dealership my kia Rio manufactured in April 2007 was not included in this recall even though the problem/diagnosis/fix is identical.

My vehicle's air bag sensor has been on and the kia manufacturer claims it not to be a recall since my warranty has expired this past November 2012. Now my car temperature gauge goes from cold -0- to half on the gauge. It starts to shake and shuts down in the middle of me driving. Almost caused me to have 2 accidents. I had ti taken to take it to get a diagnostic test and this was in part of a recall that the manufacturer claims is not their problem.
