Description of the problem	I just want to make sure that a repair is available and been approved for the kia optima 2013 airbag defect. I checked the nhtsa website and it still says the recall is incomplete and no repair is available. I requested a loaner vehicle from kia a month ago and they were very slow to provide one just letting me know yesterday that they would have to find a dealer that has a loaner/rental program or otherwise i would have to purshase my own rental and they would reimburse me when the repair became available. Today when i asked them for the reimbursement policy in writing before i went out to get a rental, they then told me a repair just became available and for me to take it to the dealer to be fixed. Because of the run around i got, i want to make sure that the repair is legit being its not showing on the nhtsa site
