I bought my 08 Sorento back in Dec. Just to report to date that I have had zero issues with my Sorie. I love the look, and everything about it. The dealership in Traverse City, Mi. is the best too. Sorry you are having so much trouble. Hang in there..................

2008 kia sorento passenger airbag lite is still a major problem. a month ago Kia America had a Kia parts/service manager meet us at the dealer and of course that day the light worked perfectly. We are waiting for this manager to contact our dealer for the next step. Since this is the 4th time we have taken this problem to the dealer it now qualifies for the Lemon Law. I have been taking a pic and a video with my cell phone everytime that it happens. I was keeping a log but that got to be too cumbersome. If anyone has a 2007/2008 kia there is an OCS recall for the passenger airbag light. I would contact your Kia dealer on this. My husband and I are so annoyed with this problem because this is one of the primary reasons we bought the sorento because of all the airbags. Now the light goes on while we are driving which means that there is no front passenger airbag. The side passenger airbag will still work we were told. We only have 5000 miles on the vehicle.

I just came back from my Kia dealer and still have not received any satisfaction. I am still having a problem with the airbag light. The problem is an intermitant one and they (both Kia and my dealer) tell me there isn't anything they can do.I am in the process of getting all the information to file for arbitration before i go the "Lemon Law" route. I will try to keep you informed of any progress.

Say the airbag light didn't go out a couple of times....BUT I noticed that it is not when you actually sit in the seat that triggers the light. It is somehow with the door closing all the way. I tried this............I didn't shut the door firmly, and the light stayed on. I was sitting in the seat too. So I reslammed the door again, and the light went out.
The light is very sensitive for sure. Try getting into the seat, and then shut the door firmly. See it the light goes out..............
Just trying to help. Good luck. We love our Sorie!!

Try contacting 'Kia America' about the airbag light. Eventho we are still having the problem Kia America is listening to us. Unless you are close to the 1 year deadline to file with the Lemon Law. We still have at least 3 months before we would file with the lemon law. It is such a safety issue with us. Good Luck

Kia warranty question

I purchased a 2003 Kia Sorento new and have owned it since (daughter drives it). I've had no problems with it, now at 50k. Regular oil changes and filter changes have been done at various shops (Sears, JiffyLube, etc) since closest dealer is 50 miles away. If I need warranty work done on the 10/100k, what records will be required to satisfy the dealer? I just got a new 2009 Borrego last night, and they were very keen on work being done at the dealer (really pissed me off). The dealer I bought the Sorento from did not dwell on this at all. Any help would be appreciated.

Yes...My Kia Sorento has the exact same problem and so does almost every other one I look at. Were you able to correct it with KIA

Thanks for the link, Steve. I just became aware of this sweet CUV last week. Not much info online, and this is welcome. And me with a lease that runs out Feb 3rd ! Nice timing, Kia. And a 4-cyl / stick shift combo to boot...

Has your offer expired? Just bought the teenager a 2006 EX. He's actually rediscovered a thing called "excitement". Thanking you in advance, and/or thanks for the warning about cd manuals. sydbarringeratlycos.com
