| Description of the problem | I took my 2011 kia sorento in to kia motors in american fork, utah to get the airbag light checked out. It has been on for quite some time now. They told me that the ocs mat needed to be replaced and wanted to charge me $1600 to fix. Since my airbags can not detect anything without getting this part replaced, its a major safety issue. This needs to be recalled. |
