Description of the problem	I have taken my 2004 kia amanti in for problems with air bag light several time. I have 8 forms with backup but it was taken in more than that. They have replaced everything from the r/r clockspring, the airbag and modules, all more than once. The last time being in 10/2010. Then the light started to come on in 02/2011 but it would turn off again until it finally stayed on once again. I had made an appt to go in on april 13, 2011 but was involved in a fender bender april 12, so the vehicle was in the shop. The body shop ran a diagnosis on the airbag light and it showed the problem had begun 3 months earlier so it wasn't covered by the insurance since it was not due to the accident so i had to pay $112. 00. Then i took it to kia this morning and they told me i would have to pay for a diagnosis at the dealer as well, unless it was the same problem that occurred on my last visit. $86. 00! I asked, "after having brought my car in 8 - 10 times, i am going to be charged! They have replaced everything that come out on the diagnosis at least 3 times and checked the wiring according to what the last manager had said in summer 2010, but they would only consider the last visit! This kia dealer is know for replacing parts until they fix it. I know because i have a stack of receipts showing all the parts that were replaced on my vehicle. Rusty was the managers name at viva kia in el paso, texas. He is no longer there and it is now ruben, whom use to be the service clerk. I was highly upset. To top all this off, the body shop said that my air bag would not have deployed since the light was on so it was a good thing that it was only a fender bender. That, i believe is dangerous, considering that my airbag light is probably on for half of the year.
