Failure Date: 03/31/2014

2006 Sedona air bag warning light in dash stays on. I have had this car since new and this is about the 6th time the light stay on and this was after a sever winter with a lot of salt on the road. It happened with in a week after the dealer performed 3 recalls, 2 to correct metal parts from rust from salt and a failing rear heater hose usually the light stays on for 2 to 3 days but this time it has been on for 3 weeks. One time when it was on I took it to the dealer and they said it was a ground problem. This problem started after the dealer took apart the head liner for the 2nd time to repair a leak. When they put the headliner back there were over 10 things they did not put back correctly. From that time on I said I had no faith in the air bags deploying if I would be in a crash. Now that the light is on for over 3 weeks I have to pay to have it fixed as it is now out of warranty. This problem is reported many times on the internet and kia needs to address this problem!.

Failure Date: 07/03/2012

The air bag warning light was on when I put a bag on the passenger seat. I have checked on internet that the air bags won't be deployed when the warning light is on. I think this is a big safety issue and kia has a defective product of either air bag sensor or something else. Kia should take responsibility to fix the problem on its own cost. The cost of fixing this problem would be over $1500. This should absolutely be a recall issue. ## VIN passed ## 2006 kia Sedona ex ##.

13 Warning Light On problem of the 2006 Kia Motor Sedona

Failure Date: 03/07/2012

The "air bag" warning light came on and the vehicle manual indicated we should take it to a dealer ASAP. The dealer indicated that none of the air bags in the vehicle would deploy when this "air bag" light is on. The dealer also indicated that there had been many problems with the kia Sedona air bag sensors located under the driver's seat. They recalibrated the sensors at a cost of $194 and the light went off. However, they indicated that the sensors were "still vacillating" and that if this air bag light came on again the sensors under the seat would need to be replaced (at a cost of approximately $1500). I went on line and found many other kia owners who have had the same problem. This is a serious safety issue and, in my opinion, there should be a recall to fix these defective sensors.
