Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | Airbag warning light just came on for no reason. Dealer stated problem was due to the passenger seat occupant sensors being bad and that the drivers side airbags would still deploy but passenger won't. Dealer estimated cost to repair to be approximately $1,500. The vehicle only has approximately 77,000 miles. Kia has a history of issues with this and it seems that there should be a recall for this problem so that consumers aren't forced to pay thousands of dollars for a repair to a critical safety mechanism. Since i cannot afford this large expense at this time, i'm being forced to continue using the vehicle as is. |
