Description of the problem	I brought my vehicle into kia for several recalls. One was the door locks being faulty. I said i had no problems but they decided to replace them anyway. Now my rear door lock is broken. The other issue is when accelerating the engine revs. It only happened a couple of times at first, but now it happens every time i drive. It seems like the pedal is getting stuck. My last issue is the air bag. I was rear ended on the highway and pushed into the car in front of me. The whole front end was banged up and the airbag never opened.
