| Description of the problem | My airbag light has been going on/off for a few months now, and i have contacted several kia dealerships that have told me my car is not a part of an airbag recall, and if i want it fixed, i will have to come out of pocket to the time of about $2,000 to get this fixed. The dealerships i called, and 1 i went to in-person, told me that anything related to the airbag light is not under any type of warranty anymore, even though my car is only 5 years old. This is a safety issue, pure and simple, and is a mechanical failure that i should not be responsible for. I believe kia is hiding something here, and i just cannot magically come up with $2k to fix this. I |
