Description of the problem	We bought my daughter a 2009 kia spectra (used) for her 16th birthday in 2012. The mileage was at about 50,000. In just two years we have had to replace so many things on this car it is unbelievable, this car was junk when we bought it, we just didn't know it. This morning she told me that her airbag light came on for the first time and didn't know why. She had a passenger and still the light would not go out. Also the tps light has been on since we bought the car even with replacing the tires and rims it stayed on. Kia should definitely have a recall on this year, make and model. They are obviously a lemon and if kia cares about their consumers they would do something about this problem. We are now looking to replace this kia because we don't feel our daughter is safe after reading all of the complaints in this forum. Thanks kia, we will never buy anything you make ever again.
