Description of the problem	I have a 2006 kia sportage and the airbag light keeps coming on i have been to the dealer going on six times now to get this fixed. It has been going on since oct 07 to current. The last time it was fixed was on 08/07/2009. Now i am going to dealer again because it was supposedly fixed and airbag light has come back on again and i am concerned for the safety for my family if we are in an accident because the airbags will not deploy when they need to . So far i have had the buckles assy replaced more than once and the sensor assy more than once. Problem may be fixed for a little while then light comes on again and i have to go back to the dealer again. This is a safety hazard.
