Airbag light on due to faulty passenger side seat sensor. exorbitant cost to replace. can't afford.
Airbag light came on, had a diagnostic ran on it came up as code b1448 oc passenger sensor mat defect, looks like its srscm 70. was told that there is a tsb recall on this problem, but when i called kia, they said that it was not for this model. however after looking up this problem on the internet, a lot of people with this car have had this problem. not only is it bad enough that lots of people are complaining about this, but kia says that they can't replace the sensor by itself, i would need to buy a new seat which would be $1600 dollars!!!! that's ridiculous. a problem such as this one should not be so expensive to fix. did kia put this sensor there so that we would have to pay almost 2 grand to fix a crappy electrical job? by the way this is not the only kia around this year with this exact problem. recall the spectra5 too!!!! *tr
