| Description of the problem | The airbag light is on. I went to a kia dealership and they said they need to replace the front passenger seat and gave me an estimate cost of +2000 usd. After doing my search i found that there are so many people out there with the same problem. The problem started as while the car was in motion, the aribag light started blinking for a while and then remained on. It is a manufacturing malfunction that is causing the whole aribag system to not do its work. The cost is too expensive for me to handle and i believe the company should fix it. |
