One problem related to front air bag sensor control has been reported for the 2008 Kia Motor RIO. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2008 Kia Motor RIO based on all problems reported for the 2008 RIO.
Passenger airbag sensor in 2008 kia Rio lx does not work properly, because the light saying "passenger airbag off" is on even when adult passenger is in front passenger seat. This happens about 1 in 3 times the vehicle is entered, and shifting around with vehicle running does not trip the sensor to activate the airbag. Dealer was notified and replaced the seat bottom/sensors but the problem still persists. This is a safety concern because if an accident happens and the sensor is not working properly, the passenger could be seriously injured or killed. I think this may need to be a recall or design change for kia since the replaced sensor was not a fix to the problem.
