Description of the problem	I was sitting in a parking lot with a friend, when i noticed that my air bag indicator had come on. As i drove away to come ask my father what it meant, the passenger air bag light would repeatedly flash on and off, with her sitting straight in the seat like a normal person. Ever since than the air bag indicator has stayed on and won't go off. As well at the flashing passenger air bag light. I had went online to check for any recalls and it had stated that 2006-2008 had a recall on "air bag cracking". We read up on it and it is the same thing that is wrong with my car. And i'm not the only one that has this problem. Please make it known to kia that this problem is still ongoing in 2009 models. This should be considered under recall so no further accidents will occur.
