Description of the problem	I just bought this car few months ago as a used car, whenever i start the car , passenger and driver air bags lights is always on. I went to kia service center to address the problem, they told me it's not included on a recall list, i even showed them a paper which stated a group recall sc076. And also read on a kia forum that that there is another recall which is sc045, stating a group recall also. Kia must do something about it because it's matter of life & death if they do not fix this problem.
