| Description of the problem | The dashboard airbag light came on approximately 1 year ago, and when i contacted the kia dealership where i purchased the vehicle they advised me that they would have to charge me to search for the cause of the problem... I heard of a recall on the kia rio airbags on nhtsa and i called kia to ask to bring my vehicle in so the problem could be fixed and the service department told me that they are unaware of any such problems with that vehicle and would not allow me to bring the vehicle in unless i paid to have it looked at!!! *js |
