| Component | AIR BAGS |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | The entire vehicle air bag system is not functioning. I have been told, by kia, that it will cost $2,500 to repair this problem. Unfortunately, although it seems to be caused by the front passenger seat belt buckle, which would cost $175 to replace, the entire system ceases to function when any problem occurs and requires that not only the seat buckle be replaced, but also the seat frame ($700) and air bag computer system ($1,500). Although this vehicle is very reliable and sound mechanically, my family is at risk everytime we are on the road. |
