This is the 3rd sensor on the passenger side that has been installed the cost is $1800. OUTRAGEOUS. Car was brand new had to replace the 1st one at 55K. Is there a cheaper way?

I've been to Citrus Kia where I bought the car, numerious times,and all they can tell me is that my passenger needs to sit properly in the seat.I don't know about any one else,but after awhile of driving,my ass goes numb and I tend to move around a little.It is scary to be heading down the interstate at 65-70 miles an hour and see the air bag on your wife's side of the car OFF.I have her ajust her body,but I end up pulling over and turning off the engine and restarting it.Sometimes I have to do this severial times a trip.The dealership is giving me the run around and making it look like it's my fault.If something goes terribly wrong,I will not go quietly.

I warn everyone I can about this problem.I believe it could be an easy fix. if they cared enough about their customers returning to buy another car.
