| Description of the problem | Purchased a 2008 kia sedona used with a 3yr 36k extended warranty. On the way home i tested to see if the cig lighter worked in the dash. The air bag light illuminated, and the interior lights no longer work. Also the a/c fan in the cabin is now stuck on high when in use. This is an annoyance however the major concern is the air bags will now not function. After extensive online research this is more than a common occurrence. Kia should be forced to recall every electrically faulty vehicle they put out. The electrical problems which are numerous always seem to disable the air bags and cause other issues. This is not safe and is a hazard to the public. |
