| Description of the problem | The airbag light on my kia spectra stays on and the kia dealership quoted me $1600 for the b1448 code which is passenger seat mat occupancy sensor or something like that, and my car is under 80000 miles. I think that amount is really high for a senor to fix and kia should fix and recall the airbag issue since it is a high risk for the safeties of american lives. Nhtsa should make kia recall the airbag issue. Thank you |
