Description of the problem	Good afternoon, i have a 2011 kia sorento and the airbag light stayed on. When i took it to the dealer it was the clock spring. I paid to have my vehicle fix last fall. However, looking on the internet this seems to happen a lot in kia cars. Why havent kia reported this issue? I was rear ended recently and none of my airbags deployed. Im wondering if kia is hiding this issue. The person at the shop told me a clock spring should not go bad on a fairly new vehicle. Someone needs to look into this situation before someone gets killed. Kia is ripping off car owners because they wont acknowledge the problem publicly. Http://www. Kia-forums. Com/kia-carens-rondo-forum/76352-air-bag-light-clock-spring. Html i hope someone will investigate this situation. Please copy and past the above url to see what kia owners have to say.
