Description of the problem	Ii have a 2005 kia optima for about 3 years now, first problem was with the air bags . I had the light to come on will the car was being inspected last year for them to tell me it was the sensors. I made a appointment to get it fixed but when i went there the light went off then i was driving down the road a week later and the light comes back on had it checked again and the same things happens will the light is still on. 2nd problem had the timing belt to go out so i purchased a used motor to have nothing but problems. First the throttle sensor went out replaced that for it to burn up within a hour of it being fixed, then had to have the car rewired by the dealership now the six months later the door locks are tripping me in the car. The car had some type of wiring fire, which caused me to have to call the fire department,where the car filled with smoke. So now i have a car that has the check engine light on, air bags light on, and the door locks are tripping me in the car. What can i do?
