Description of the problem	My airbag light came on for no reason. Did not have any sort of accident. Had it looked at by mechanic. Mechanic stated the crash sensor wad bad. Kia part only. Called kia they said it would cost around $487. 00to replace it. As a safety feature , they should replace it free. Now my airbags won't deploy in an accident. I'll never buy a kia again.
