| Description of the problem | I was just notified by state farm insurance that the air bags on the kia sorento are not working properly. This has caused them to remove the safety discount from the vehicle. If the air bags are not working in accidents then i feel that they need to be fixed or replaced so people will not die due to the failure of air bags. *jb |
