Description of the problem	Airbag safety indicator light remains on with passenger sitting on the seat: at 80,000 miles i started having problems with my passenger airbag safety indicator light. When the seat is occupied, the warning airbag light, comes on and remains on. I contacted kia and was told it was no longer under warranty. This happened at first for a long period of time, and now it appears to be happening intermittently. Short in the electrical system. Since 60,000 miles i have had a short in the elecrical system of my vehicle. I have taken it to 2 different places to have it investigated and neither mechanic could trace the cause of the short. I have had blown fuses, non-working headlamps, front and back. No one could find the short. I keep spare fuses with me at all times now, and 100% of the time, the right rear brake light is not operational. I contacted kia car pros in carson, california and they told me that any warranty coverage had expired at 60,000 miles. Defective auto locks my right rear passenger door will no longer open and will no longer permit ingress or egress into the back seat. The key fob will turn the locks to the open position but you still cannot open the door under any circumstances. Periodically, the door locks will go crazy and make up and down movements while the car is being driven. Occasionally, the right front passenger door will lock and not open, but then it opens. Now the right rear passenger door is permanently stuck in the locked position. Kia car pros always finds some excuse for not repairing the door under warranty. I believe it is defective and they should bear the expenses.
