KIA RIO 2008 car safety problem was reported on Apr 16, 2010.KIA RIO 2008, manufactured by KIA MOTORS CORPORATION had a problem with AIR BAGS:FRONTAL . passenger airbag sensor in 2008 kia rio lx does not work properly, because the light saying "passenger airbag off" is on even when adult passenger is in front passenger seat. this happens about 1 in 3 times the vehicle is entered, and shifting around with vehicle running does not trip the sensor to activate the airbag. dealer was notified and replaced the seat bottom/sensors but the problem still persists. this is a safety concern because if an accident happens and the sensor is not working properly, the passenger could be seriously injured or killed. i think this may need to be a recall or design change for kia since the replaced sensor was not a fix to the problem. *ln.Mileage was 47097 miles.

Kia Rio 2008 Air Bags Review #10676821

KIA RIO 2008 car safety problem was reported on Jan 05, 2015.KIA RIO 2008, manufactured by Kia Motors America had a problem with AIR BAGS . kia has a recall (nhtsa campaign number: 12v244000) for year 2006-2008 rio vehicles, my kia rio is a 2008 however it is not listed under the vin due to i'm guessing being manufactured after the cut off date, however the air bag light has now come on and the passenger warning light no longer works. i had my car diagnosed today and kia informed me it was the sensor in the passenger seat that had cracked. from the recall notification. the front passenger seat occupant sensor mat can experience fatigue cracking. if sufficient cracking occurs, the occupant classification system (ocs) will cease to function such that the system will not be able to detect whether a child passenger is in the seat and the airbag will deploy during a crash necessitating deployment. i'm asking/wondering how i can get my vehicle on the recall list if possible. the dealership is now telling me i need to have the entire seat replaced at $2500 to fix the issue. is this how the sensor was repaired under the recall or are they able to replace just the cracked sensor? its sounding a little fishy that thay cant replace just the sensor. my vehicle is still at kia so i don't have my vin# on me at the moment. i would like a reply if possible and can give my vin at that time. .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 33256 miles. Kia Rio 2008 problem was reported in HONOLULU, HI. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. VEHICLE SPEED: 0 mph.
