Front Air Bag Sensor Control problems of the 2003 Kia Motor Sedona

Srs light stays-on caused by broken seat-belt buckle wiring under passenger and driver seats. Buckle sensor wiring is vulnerable to shearing and damage as any of both seats is adjusted back and forth. New parts cost more than $300, plus labor. After repairs, the srs can be reset only at the dealership ($120 min, additional). This is a manufacturer design flaw.

While driving the air bag light came on. Consumer took car to dealer who performed a diagnostic test which showed a faulty sensor within the air bag. Dealer ordered a new air bag sensor. Consumer waited 3 weeks for this to be delivered. Dealer said there was no chance the air bag could deploy as it was simply inactive. On June 17, 2005 the buckle was replaced, and the air bag light went off and no longer illuminated. On August 13, 2005, the air bag light came on again. Took vehicle back to dealer ,who noted the air bag sensor was not working and again had to wait for the part to come in.
