| Description of the problem | This kia amante is a 2006. I have 132633 miles on it. Last month, i got an "air bag" light on the dash. I took it in to the local kia dealership, they charged me $100 to tell me the the air bag is no longer operable. The part needed to repair is no longer available. If i get in an accident, the air bags will not work. As the car still looks and runs like new, i do not want to get rid of it. Shouldn't a vehicle manufacturer have parts at least for 13 years? |
