Air Bag Light On Problems of Kia Motor Sorento - part 2

I received a recall notice from Kia Motors stating that I need to bring in my 2012 Sorento in to have the "clock spring assembly" checked as my air bag light on the dashboard is illuminated. I brought it to have it checked and was told that it's not the "clock spring assembly" but the OCS mat that is defective ( code b1764 ) and would cost me $2640 to replace. . . I was told that the air bag system "might not" function properly with with the air bag light illuminated. . . Why is the OCS mat not a recall matter as it is apparent that they are failing miserably. . . Vehicle was in motion when light came on and remains on continually. . .

Front passenger seat occupant airbag sensor mat failed. The airbag light came on without cause. Took the car to the dealership and they diagnosed the problem.

Air bag light is on and kia says they are not responsible.

My car has never been in an accident. While driving yesterday, the air bag indicator came on and stayed on all through my trip. It will not go off. I did some research on the internet and seen that this issue has been complained about by so many other users of this vehicle. This is a safety issue as the airbag system is likely faulty and may not deploy in an accident.

The vehicle's airbag light turned on when stationary (as I started the car) and remained on at about 100,000 miles. Mechanic inspection yielded issue with steering wheel clock spring. Mechanic ordered part from kia dealership but there is a manufacturing issue and the vehicle has to be retrofitted to fit the part. As of 8/5/2019, there are no unrepaired recalls on this car or for this specific safety issue, but years of documentation of complaints for it, and it is a manufacturing defect. Why hasn't this been added as a formal recall? have not checked cruise control or horn, but volume controls on steering wheel still working. Passenger airbag light sometimes off when passenger is on seat, sometimes on when no one is in seat.

Takata recall on back locks. Lock jammed on back door. Door will not unlock from inside or out. . Having problems with kia dealership honoring a recall that I thin should include my vehicle. There was a recall for front locks a couple of years ago that was repaired. Now the back locks on the back door is doing the same thing. This is a danger to my grandchildren who sits in the back of my car. The air bag light is also malfunctioning. I have asked kia check the air bag, but told my VIN number is not on the list. And that my locks are not on the recall list. These are all manufacturing problems and should be treated as such. . The vehicle is in motion most of the time when the air bag light "off" appears. .

I took my 2011 kia Sorento in to Kia Motors in american fork, utah to get the airbag light checked out. It has been on for quite some time now.

This needs to be recalled.
