Description of the problem	Nothing unordinary happened. However i believe it may have been around the time i had a new battery installed in my car. It went from one day to the next, where all of a sudden the airbag light can on and hasn't gone off since. I've had no accident, no major repair, nothing out of the ordinary. Now, i'm looking to take it to the kia dealer, who wants to charge me $120 just to get codes and determine why the light is on. I feel this is something that should be covered under warranty, being that there is nothing a driver could do to cause a malfunction or disconnection with the airbags and how they function. I've seen three other posts on here where the airbags didn't deploy when they were suppose to. The big determining factor for my purchase of the kia rondo, was it's safety features, and all the airbags that are throughout the vehicle. Something seem terribly wrong with having to pay twice for something, that appears to have been faulty off the manufacturing line.
