Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Passenger airbag off light continues to come on at various times while driving with an adult passenger in the seat. i have had it in the shop four times in the 5 months that i have owned it. they have checked connections etc. and said they could not get it to duplicate the problem. i met with the kia rep last week and he said he had never heard of this problem in a spectra. they are replacing the seat bottom now to see if this helps. they implied that the problem was probably because the passenger was large and their weight was resting on the outer edge of the seat and not placing enough weight on the gel pad in the center of the seat. *nm
