Kia Rio 2006

• Recall 90998 [USA]: Air bag deployment with a child in the front passenger side seat increases the risk of injury to that child.
  Kia is recalling certain model year 2006-2008 rio vehicles, manufactured from february 20, 2005, through december 9, 2007. 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.
  kia will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ocs seat sensor mat, free of charge. The recall began on july 26, 2012. Owners may contact kia consumer assistance center at 1-800-333-4542.
  kia's safety recall campaign number is sc097.Customers may contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty: 1-800-424-9153); or go to http://www.Safercar.Gov.

My airbag light had come on. Then when i go to gasbuddy, it states that there is a recall involving the airbag on a 2006 kia rio that was made from february 20th 2005 to 2007. However my vin number shows that there is no recall on my car. I think it's more than a coincidence that there's a recall and my sensor is on. If someone is killed because of this sensor oh, i will be suing kia, and anyone else that blatantly disregarded my complaint

Air bag light on

Brake lights in rear came on during driving and remained on. After becoming aware of the issue, and replacement of the stop light switch which did not fix the issue, and after further inspection the problem was a design defect. The stop light switch has a "button" which when depressed interrupts the flow of electricity, there is an "ear" on the brake pedal which when your let off the brake pedal depresses the switch button and cuts the current. The problem is the button on the switch is around 1/16 in diameter, and for some strange reason kia drilled a 1/4" hole on the "ear" of the brake pedal within 1/16 of an inch where the switch button contacts the ear, which allows only 1/16 of a inch of the ear to depress the pedal, which in this case with my car with 50 thousand miles, allowed the button of the stop light switch to enter the hole in the ear on the brake pedal and not depress the button on the switch, which then allowed the brake lights to constantly burn. I suspect that normal wear of the brake pedal bushing allowed this to happen, the strange thing is there is no reason for hole to be in the contact area where the ear and the switch button meet. And with only a minor amount of the switch button making contact and the rest over the hole in the brake pedal "ear" it is not surprising that this would be the result. I have a manual transmission, and noticed the switch for the clutch pedal which requires the clutch be depressed in order to start the engine, it was set up with a hole very close to where the switch button makes contact. The above happened while was driving in heavy traffic on a highway on the way home from work.
