3 Warning Light On problem

Failure Date: 11/16/2013

"passenger side airbag off" warning light comes on intermittantly when there is a passenger in the front passenger seat. Also the red air bag warning light is on constantly when there is a passenger in the front passenger seat. There is a recall for this very problem on 06 and 07 Sorentos made after June 06 but my kia was made prior to this date and is not included in the recall. I am afraid for the safety of any passenger in this seat and feel it should be covered by the recall. I took it to kia and was told there was no recall for this but now I find out there certainly is but they still are refusing to repair it free of charge.
