Description of the problem	I purchased my 2004 kia amanti car from a used car dealer on june 16, 2005. We purchased the extended 100,000 mile warranty as well. Approximately eight days after the purchase i began having trouble with the air bag light being illuminated and not going off. I took my car back to the car dealer on june 24, 2005 and june 27, 2005 for diagnostics. The car dealer could not service the car because they were not an authorized dealer. They sent the car to a sister car sales dealer who in turn took the car to an authorized kia dealer. The kia service dealer told me that when the light stayed on the airbag safety feature was disabled. On july 7, 2005, september 8, 2005, october 17, 2005 and november 14, 2005 the car was taken to a kia dealer to fix the problem. Each time the dealer has reported the problem as being fixed but the air bag light keeps coming back on and stays on which in turn disables the air bag safety features. In mid- january, 2006, the air bag light has again become illuminated and will not go off. The dealer has asked me to bring the car back in for repair on february 21, 2006 to have this problem corrected. To date, the dealer has been unable to remedy the problem. Thus far, the dealership has attempted to repair this problem five times and the car has been in the shop for twenty-seven days. The car is at the kia dealer again being repaired. This problem substantially impairs the safety, the use and the value of my car. *nm
