Front Air Bag Sensor Control Problems of Kia Motor Sedona

Airbags - the sensor light keeps coming on at random times, then will turn off for a few seconds, then come back on. There is not one certain thing that causes this (ie bumps, breaking, acceleration, etc). Not sure if this is a bad sensor issue or what it could be. Seatbelts - front passenger side seatbelt will �lock� into place while driving (like after you would stop suddenly), and the only way to undo it, is to release the seatbelt.

On our second airbag sensor issue for this vehicle. Now stating weight sensor in front passenger seat is defective rendering the entire airbag system nonfunctional. A costly fix at $2500. After seeing the numerous complaints on this site I am a bit appalled that kia has not offered a recall on this issue. Will be second guessing whether or not a kia will be our next vehicle purchase. . . When prior to this incident it would have been a no-brainer.

Air bag sensor light came on, no accident, no other problems.

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.

2006 kia Sedona. Consumer writes regarding air bag light illuminating. The consumer took the vehicle to the dealer and the result of the diagnosis came back as one frontal and one rear crash sensor had corroded and malfunctioned, and also the passenger seat air bag switch malfunctioned. After resetting the diagnostic codes, the technician turned the vehicle on and the same faults registered.

With only 700 miles on Sedona minivan I have had an air bag sensor go bad, a drivers side sliding door sensor go bad, a passenger side front door sensor go bad, the ip computer (fuse box) inside vehicle near drivers side) burn up completely.

4 months ago my alternator went, taking with it my entire electrical system. After everything was fixed by the repair shop of my choice, the airbag light was still on and could not be reset because kia will not release the codes to do so. I took it to the dealer who inspected the vehicle and $90 later simply reset the codes to clear the light. Now I find myself with the light on again, and my 2002 kia Sedona at the dealership to find out why. Of course, it cannot be as simple as the code needing to be reset, and I have been informed that there is a faulty sensor in the seatbelt mechanism that will need to be replaced. This will cost $200 + to have done. It is my understanding that this is a recurrent problem with kia Sedonas and I cannot understand why it is not a recall item. My sister-in-law has had to replace theirs two times now, my father-in-law has had to replace his at least one time, and my sister-in-laws mother-in-law has had to replace hers at least twice. These are just family members, and I can only imagine how many other people are having this problem. On this site alone I have found several, not to mention other message boards showing the same complaints. At what point does a complaint like this get investigated to be recalled? this is a serious safety issue that needs to be taken care of and I implore you to investigate into this malfunction. Thank you. Updated 09/19/07.

Vehicle originally seen d/t no heat on 2/16/07 by auto repair business. Heater core flush did not correct problem, as well as new thermostat. Heater core replaced on 2/22/07.

On 3/7/07, looked at vehicle/discussed situation. Shop owner felt that incident was not caused by their repair work. He felt that the computer for the airbags shorted out d/t collection of coolant within the computer & stated what needed to be replaced, including a new computer, new restraining system & seatbelt tensioner. He felt the dealership diagnosis was incorrect,& was unhappy that dealership was blaming him for the problems that occurred. The shop owner feels that coolant had probably been leaking before repair work was done, & possibly be related to the way vehicle was made, since the coolant was leaking within the interior of the car underneath the dashboard, & not where it should have been. Owner of vehicle called dealership on 3/9/07 & spoke with service manager, asking for a refund for services provided by them on 3/2/07. He refused, stating that their diagnosis was correct & that they did not do anything wrong. Vehicle remains at auto repair shop. Owner questions safety of vehicle. No accident. Kia corp.

Back in 2003, the airbag light on my van came on and would not go away. It was under warranty. The problem was a defective passenger side seat belt buckle. That was replaced. Now in 2005 the airbag light came on and would not go away again. My warranty has expired, so I tried finding out what the problem was myself. It was the same passenger side seat belt buckle. The problem was a broken wire in the harness to the sensor. The cause was a metal clip that pinches the harness, and with the movement of putting the seat belt on and off, eventually leading to the wire breakage. That I fixed myself and airbag light went out. In 2006, the airbag light came back on and would not go out. The problem now is the driver side seat belt buckle, once again a broken wire at the clip. Once again my warranty has expired so I am going to fix it myself. This kind of problem can be fixed if the clips are removed, extending the life of the sensing unit. I am sure that there are many others with that same problem. I would like to see this defect fixed.

1) battery discharge occured during slow speed driving and hot conditions. Vehicle stalled at intersection and was almost hit several times. 2) service bulletin put out by kia calls for new alternator, with smaller pulley and ecm battery compensation 3) kia technical service bulletin calls for a new alternator with smaller pulley (65mm ->55mm) and ecm battery compensation revised.

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.
