Air Bag Light On problems of the 2009 Kia Motor Sportage

Tl the contact owns a 2009 kia Sportage. The contact stated that the air bag warning indicator illuminated. The contact was informed that there were no recalls on the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the clock spring needed to be replaced. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 122,000.

The air bag light is on. This shouldn't happen. Not sure if it is the sensor or if there are problems with the air bags. This is a safety issue.

The airbag light is on and after taking it to a authorized kia dealership, they said the error code indicated high resistance and that the airbag was defective and needs to be repaced.

This is my 82 year old mother in law car she says the air bag light keeps coming on and staying on so she took it to the dealer they charged her $150. 00 to look at it. This was on Nov 4 2014 the car had only 57047 miles on it. So in March it started doing it again so on March 27 2015 she goes to the dealer this time they didn't charge her but told her it would cost $2,600. 00 dollars to fix. The car only has 59312 miles on it. She is freaked out scared to drive her car and is on fixed income. The two codes they found were (b1489 OCS matt defect) and (b1495 belt tension sensor). My son says he thinks that the kia rio had the same problem and got recalled. I will give my info not my mothers thank you.

Air bag light came on for know reason. To it to the dealer charged me$100 to "look at it". The repair would cost $2500. Can't afford to fix it, appears many others have the same problem.
