| Description of the problem | The airbag warning light came on my 2013 kia rio lx sometime shortly after the mileage hit 80,000 miles. It would go on and then turn off. It did this for a little while but now it stays on all the time. I called kia to ask if there had been any recalls on the air bags and they told me no. Then i was told that it would be $350-$400 just to check it out. I have seen many reports of this by other kia rio owners on this website. This has become a common problem and there should be a recall for this problem. |
