Warning Light On problems of the 2013 Kia Motor Sorento

Airbag warning light is on & they may not deploy according to the manufacturer. I find many kia models/owners report this same problem. Should be covered w/a recall!, refund, etc. Owners are not at fault & age or "normal wear & tear" of the vehicle is not to blame! NHTSA should have required the kia/Hyundai corp. To order a recall or notify owners they'd fix this if it happened. Repair is between $800-$2100+!.

My airbag warning light came on. The mechanic ran a diagnostic test and found that the clock spring needs to be replaced.

Airbag warning light has came on while driving down highway. Deal advises that it is a sensor and that it is over $400 to repair. Have read numerous complaints that this is an extremely common problem with the 2013 kia Sorento. Vehicle is just out of factory warranty due to mileage (3,000 over). Vehicle as never been involved in any type of collision.

Dear NHTSA, I writing to inform you of a failure to the airbag system of my 2013 kia Sorento. The initial symptom of the failure was an intermittent red airbag warning light that would appear on the driver's instrument panel while driving. Within a week, the warning light was activated all the time while driving, indicating the airbag system was not functional. The kia dealer retrieved error codes b1763 and b1764 during their inspection. They diagnosed the failure to be the "electric field occupant classification sensor" which is located in the front-passenger seat cushion. The sensor is not sold individually, but only as part of the entire lower seat assembly. The dealer quoted over $1,600 as the retail purchase price. This included the seat cover, cushion, adjustable seat rails, and the one part I needed, the electric field occupant classification sensor. The assembly part number was 88200-1u210sal after tearing down my old seat assembly I found the following part numbers on the failed electric field occupant classification sensor. Kia: 88950-1u500 autoliv: 611166600c iee: 31-004117-28-10 bodysense: 31-723107-15-00 mat test s/n: 0400640222 thank you for looking into this failure.

Airbag warning light came on Monday (January 11, 2016) morning upon starting the vehicle. It did not turn off. It remains on at all times indicating that there is a problem with the airbags in the vehicle. Turning the vehicle off does not reset he problem as it still persist. The airbag warning light remains on if vehicle is in park or drive or any gear. Also the airbag light remains on at all speeds from standing to 65mph. Airbag warning light remains on at the time of filing this complaint Wednesday January 13 2016 approximately 9:00am est I have been in touch with parkside kia of knoxville TN and have a schedule appointment to have this investigated on Thursday January 14, 2016. I have had to drive the vehicle since this issue arose and am extremely concerned as there is no way for me to know if in fact the airbags will work if I am in an accident. This is very serious to me as I have 4 children one of whom has a lot of medical needs, a wife and a nurse who are often times in the vehicle with me. I strongly urge an investigation in to this before some one is seriously injured or worse.

My airbag warning light indicator has illuminated. When researching the problem online, it came to my attention that this is a very common problem that mostly occurs in vehicles that, like mine, have just surpassed the warranty period. If hundreds of car owners have experienced this same safety issue, why is it not a problem covered under a recall?.

Upon startup of vehicle or shortly thereafter the s irish warning light came on and has remained on since.
