Warning Light On Problems of Kia Motor Sorento - part 1

Check the airbag warning light if this occurs, kia’s system is designed to illuminate the airbag warning light on the instrument panel to alert you of a potential problem with your airbag system so that you can have the system inspected and repaired as soon as possible. The passenger’s front airbag is a ‘low risk deployment’ airbag that complies with federal motor vehicle safety standard 208, meaning it has a reduced deployment strength for occupants in close proximity to the air bag. Despite being a low risk deployment airbag, if the airbag warning light is illuminated and the vehicle continues to be driven without being repaired, the front passenger airbag will deploy in a frontal impact regardless of whether the seat is occupied or not.

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 SUV has not encountered any incidents that involve the air bags to deploy. Yesterday while leaving work the air bag warning light came on after I started the vehicle and the light still has not turned off. Looking at recent complaints it appears that kia has an issue that needs to be fixed nationwide.

I was out of town when my airbag warning light came on, indicating a problem with the vehicle's airbags. I contacted kia and was told the repair should take 2-4 hours. However, after trying a fix the dealer discovered that a wiring harness in the front console was faulty and needed to be replaced. They have now had the car for a week. I am not sure if any or all of the airbags would've failed during a wreck but felt this was significant enough to report, especially since the vehicle has less than 10,000 miles on it.

My 2011 Sorento only has 89500 miles and yesterday my airbag warning light came on. Took it to the dealer right away and they said it has to be diagnosed to see the problem. It will cost $120. 00 just to diagnose. I have gone on line to see if this a rare event and to my surprise it is not. I will be taking it to an independent dealer to check it out. I feel this is not going to be inexpensive. This is a safety issue and NHTSA should get kia to clean there act before someone dies!!.

I received a recall notice on my 2007 kia Sorento to have the clock spring replaced. Prior to taking the carto the dealer the airbag warning light came on. I took the car to the franklin TN dealership assuming the light was caused by the clock spring recall. The tech informed me that it was caused by the OCS mat in the passenger seat and it could be fixed for $2,200+. He also said that I did not need a clock spring. When I checked on the clock spring recall I see my car now has no recalls active. With the same OCS mat problem being covered on the spectra model I feel the Sorento should also be included in the extended coverage.

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?.
