| Description of the problem | Airbag warning light came on unexpectedly even though the airbags have never been deployed and there has been no damage to the vehicle. I have been advised by the dealer that the airbags will not deploy since the light is on. My vehicle has approximately 75,000 miles. There are numerous complaints online about this same issue describing a broken clock spring or passenger occupant sensor mat. Kia has had this same issue with other models as well and there needs to be a recall asap. |
