Description of the problem	I have a kia rio 2006 my air bag light on my dashboard came on all of a sudden. My car has not been in any accidents at all. I took it to the kia dealer ship in south florida paid $130. 00 for the service department to run a diagnostic test for them to advise me my sensors are bad on my kia rio 2006 the service department wanted to charge me over $3,000. 00 to replace the sensors as the service manager said that the sensor went bad. I feel as a safety feature and knowing my vehicle has never been in any kind of accident theses sensors should not need to be replaced. It is frustrating knowing that it is not too safe to drive my children in my car and this is the only reliable transportation i have.
