Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I bought a 2007 kia sorento a month ago. it has a passenger sensor in the seat that activates the air bag on the front passenger side. if a child or passenger who doesn't meet the weight requirement sits in the seat it will deactivate the air bag. problem is that the sensor isn't working for passengers who meet the weight requirement . the air bag is deactivated and therefore the safety feature that is the air bag is no longer there to protect the front passenger and there is no way to override that feature. i asked the service guy at the kia dealership and he said there's nothing they could do. the front passenger air bag hasn't been working since i bought it. *tr
