| Description of the problem | Air bag light will not go off. I did take my car to a kia dealership and they told me that i would have to replace my entire passenger seat, in order to fix the air bag system. They wanted to charge me about $2,000 because my vehicle is no longer under warranty. In february of 2014, was when the incident first started to happen and is when i brought my car to the dealership. I was told it was dangerous to drive around with my air bag system messed up. I did look to see if there were any recalls or complaints about the vehicle but i did not find any at that time. I did make a complaint on some other site but i just learned about this site within the last couple of months and just noticed that i am not the only one who is going through the same problems....
