| Description of the problem | Our 2006 kia sedona airbag light on the dashboard came on. A kia dealer diagnostic revealed a $1,850 repair costs to replace the airbag seat sensors. The airbags will not deploy until repaired. Our sedona has 47,485 miles; 2 months past the warranty. The vehicle has never been in an accident and has been well maintained . This is a safety defect issue and should be covered by kia as a recall; not a warranty issue. We bought this for our family, we have two little children and it scares me to have them in the car. |
