 2006 rio passenger side safety airbag sensor is defective. mine was replaced under warranty twice and now it is out for a third time. they want $871 to fix it. if you search on the internet thousands of people are experiencing the exact same thing. airbag light comes on, kia says it is a defective sensor in the passenger seat. the passenger airbag will not work with this issue and you cannot sell or inspect vehicle.

 The 2006 kia rio which i bought at kia motorsport in tallahassee, fl last year is being returned for warranty service for 3rd time in 18000 mi. all 3 times had to do with the check engine light coming on and preceding a breakdown. the 1st time was due to an unknown fuel system problem. the light was reset, and 100 miles later it occurred again and the kia said there was a bulletin mandating replacement of injectors and intake manifold. 3d time today, ce engine light came on when i was 23 mi form home. decided to drive it home as it was still running ok. at about 20 mi, it lost power overheated and died. when the ce light began to flash i kew the problem was severe but it almost simultaneously died. the row drive told me there was a loss of compression, possibly a blown head gasket or cracked head, or block. car is being towed to dealer on 1/14/08. d*tr
