| Component | AIR BAGS |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | My air bag light on my dashboard has been on for several weeks now. When i took my vehicle to be looked at they said that it would cost over a grand to repair it. They also said that if i don't repair it the air bags could deploy while driving or they may not even deploy if in an accident. I do not feel like my vehicle is safe to drive. I see a lot of people with this make and model having the same problems and that leads me to believe that it is an error on the manufactures part. I feel that a recall should be issued for this problem! If this does not get fixed i will never buy another kia. Why would i buy a vehicle if i won't feel safe driving it? |
