| Description of the problem | Six times since january 07 i've been back to the dealership to fix a air bag light issue. They say that are doing what the computer tells them to do and the problem keeps returning. I believe kia is not accepting responsibility for a bigger problem with the air and does not know if it is fixed or not. Since the air bag light can not be predictable the car is unsafe and should be recalled. |
