Description of the problem	My 2011 sorento only has 89500 miles and yesterday my airbag warning light came on. Took it to the dealer right away and they said it has to be diagnosed to see the problem. It will cost $120. 00 just to diagnose. I have gone on line to see if this a rare event and to my surprise it is not. I will be taking it to an independent dealer to check it out. I feel this is not going to be inexpensive. This is a safety issue and nhtsa should get kia to clean there act before someone dies!!
