Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Approximately 30 days ago my air bag light came back on. I've left messages with the kia consumer affairs office at least 7 times since this problem recurred, with no reply from kia. Last year i filed a complaint with this office and kia fixed the air bag problem. This has been a recurring problem ever since i bought the car. The problem has returned and i believe the air bags in this car are defective and should be recalled. Again, i have no confidence that the air bags will deploy and my family is in danger in the event of an accident. Please investigate.
