Description of the problem	Have a 2012 kia sorento. Took it in to have a recall repaired. Dealer had it for 3 hours and when we got it back the air bag light on the control panel was on. They claim that they did nothing that would have caused the light to come on. For 67,000 miles no problem. They have it for 3 hours and now there's a problem. They said they would repair it for $700-$800. I asked if there was a possibility of the bag not deploying or deploying for no reason while i'm driving. They said there was no way of knowing until it was repaired. I did some research on the internet and found dozens and dozens of web-sites of others (sorento as well as other kia models) that have had the same problem. For a safety device to have so many problems, there has to be something wrong with the device. I think there should be an investigation into the air bag system. Not just on mine but all kia vehicles.
