| Description of the problem | 2006 sedona air bag warning light in dash stays on. I have had this car since new and this is about the 6th time the light stay on and this was after a severe winter with a lot of salt on the road. It happened with in a week after the dealer performed 3 recalls, 2 to correct metal parts from rust from salt and a failing rear heater hose usually the light stays on for 2 to 3 days but this time it has been on for 3 weeks. One time when it was on i took it to the dealer and they said it was a ground problem. This problem started after the dealer took apart the head liner for the 2nd time to repair a leak. When they put the headliner back there were over 10 things they did not put back correctly. From that time on i said i had no faith in the air bags deploying if i would be in a crash. Now that the light is on for over 3 weeks i have to pay to have it fixed as it is now out of warranty. This problem is reported many times on the internet and kia needs to address this problem! |
