Description of the problem	The airbag light lit up so i took it to the dealer. They said it was the clock spring and not covered under warranty. They also wanted to let me know that my airbags will probably not deploy if i get in a wreck. Multiple owners of sorento's have complained and there should be a recall. Kia recalled the hondo in 2007 or 08 for the same problem. This is not acceptable! They want 500. 00 to replace it!

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
