2005 Kia Sorento. The airbag light stayed on. They have replaced the seat, T and sent the seat off to have the sensor replaced. The dealership said there was nothing else they could do. The check engine light came on and the vehicle stalled. This happened twice in one day. The vehicle will restart after waiting a while. Also, the clock had to be replaced twice.
2005 Kia Sorento ex developed problems with the power steering.** answer required***. within a few days of owning the vehicle, the consumer noticed the clock was not working properly, there was a noise while the vehicle was cold, while turning right or backing and pulling forward, a shudder in the brake pedal, a cut in the leather passenger seat. On 4 occasions the passenger air bag sensor light dash light did not engage properly with 3 different people of different weights/heights were sitting in the seat. The power steering failed 3 times. The consumer was told the shudder in the brake pedal was normal and was a part of the ABS.
Passenger air bag light is on indicating the air bag does not work. I took it back to Kia twice. They stated Kia knows of the problem, but doesn't have a fix. They said the air bag will "probably deploy" in an accident.
The clock did not work properly, there was a noise while the vehicle was cold or starting cold while turning right or backing and pulling forward and a shudder feeling was in the brake pedal. There was a supposed service bulletin in reference to the ABS/brake pedal. On four occasions, the passenger air bag sensor dash light did not engage properly with three different people with different height a weight, the power steering failed, the dash display failed to light up when the passengers did not have their seat belts on, noise in the steering had worsened since the power steering pump replacement, there was a whining and or whistling sound coming from the front brakes on the right side or in the axle as the wheel was being turned, and the power steering failed again.
The driver noticed on numerous occasions while the vehicle was moving or parked. The passenger front side air bag light would appeared on the dashboard and remain on. The driver drove to the dealer. The mechanic informed the driver that the problem can not be duplicated and the vehicle is operating as designed. The driver informed the mechanic that this problem occurs more than once and has not been resolved. Please fill in additional information.
