Consumer Description
DASH LIGHT WITH THE AIRBAG LOGO CAME ON AS I WAS STARTING UP TODAY, AND STAYED ON. WENT STRAIGHT TO KIA DEALERSHIP, THE ONE WE ALWAYS USE. SERVICE ADVISOR SAID HE'S SEEN A LOT OF THEM, SAME PROBLEM. HE AGREED THAT $2,000 WAS VERY EXPENSIVE FOR THIS REPAIR. THIS MALFUNCTION DISABLES ALL THE AIRBAGS. IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT, WE ARE TOAST. KELLY BLUE BOOK RATES THIS VEHICLE AT A VALUE OF $9500, IN MINT CONDITION, WHICH THIS IS. 21% OF THE VALUE FOR A REPAIR? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE FOR SO MANY ( I DID CHECK THE INTERNET, IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM) AND NO ONE CHOOSES TO TAKE IT SERIOUSLY. WE JUST WENT AROUND WITH THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM, AND FINALLY THEY REPLACED THAT ON A RECALL, BUT WE HAD A BLOWOUT ON I-81 AT 70 MPH THAT COULD'VE ENDED OUR LIFE.....SOMEONE NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THIS. I APPRECIATE ANYTHING YOU CAN DO.
