One problem related to air bag on-off switch has been reported for the 2005 Kia Motor Sorento. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2005 Kia Motor Sorento based on all problems reported for the 2005 Sorento.
The "passenger airbag off" light remain lit even with an adult in the passenger seat. I have only owned the 2005 kia Sorento ex for 2 days and everytime a passenger is in the seat they must try to reposition themselves and then you turn off the ignition and restart the engine before light will go off. I have seen this issue posted on some kia discussion forums and so far dealers have no answer to the problem.
