Description of the problem	Kia currently has a recall on 2006 optimas for an air bag issue and warns consumers with this vehicle to contact kia if the air bag light comes on. In my car, the light came on on 4/1/12 and is still on. I contacted kia of columbus, ga where the car was purchased and they said to bring it in and we did to only be told the car was not covered because it was a few months old than the campaign. Kia needs to investigate and include all of 2006 optimas, as they are having the air bag issue as well. Kia has never honored any repair on the car even when brand new and had issues with headlights which we still have to do this day.
