Air bag - Kia Sorento '03

Jun 01, 2005 4 Replies

Hello for some reason I cannot understand why I keep having this persistent problem. The airbag warning light stays lit constantly while driving. So far I've had the clockspring behind the steering wheel replaced twice and the airbag itself replaced 3 times. The last time the airbag was replaced was back in April of this year and now the light is back on! My Sorento currently has 32K miles. I'm just curious what's making these bags go bad, the dealers don't seem to have a clue they just keep ordering and replacing them. Thanks for any information in advance


From what I read over on

is a wiring problem under the drivers seat. I would contact KIA direct andget someone to take notice. Being a safety issue you might stand a chance ofgetting some real help it solving the problem. Goodluck.

The warning light does not always indicate a problem with the airbag itself. It could also indicate a problem with either the wiring or one or more sensors. You should contact Kia directly and get them to take note of this because it is a safety issue.
