Description of the problem	The sensor light turned on and disabled airbags. We took it to the all star kia in baton rouge off of siegen lane. They told us it would be 1549. To fix it. I contacted corporate office spoke to [xxx] , he told me he would send the case to regional office since i wanted them to pay for it. Three days later [xxx] called me and said they would pay for half of the cost, we declined he said he would then send it to the regional office. I reminded him he had said that three days ago. Finally i reach a [xxx] in regional who was not very pleasant and she said it was no longer under warranty, so they could not pay for it. I told her i would not let this go. Today 4-13-15 she called and left a message on my phone saying that the dealer would pay half of the cost and that i had 30 days to accept. I feel like this should of been a recall since there are so many consumers with this same problem same model car. They recalled 146,000 thousand other cars different models and years for the same thing. Just want them to be honest and do the right thing.
