Consumer Description
AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON, CAR HAS LITTLE OVER 87,000 MILES STRICTLY DEALER MAINTENANCE NO RHYME OR REASON TO EXPLAIN THE LIGHT. NO ACCIDENTS NO LIQUIUD SPILLS ON ANY SEATS DEALER STATED COST COULD BE UP TO $2000.00 DEPENDING ON WHAT THE $245.00 DIAGNOSTIC SNOWS. I CAN NOT U UNDERSTAND HOW A SAFETY FEATURE UUS NOT COVERED FOR MUCH LONGER. HELL MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER GAS A LONGER WARRANTY. MY DEALER TELLS ME THEY ARE SEEING MORE AND MORE KKA VEHICLES COMING IN WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH ALMOST EXACT YEARS AND MILEAGE. THAT TELLS ME THERE IS A ISSUE. KIA NEEDS TO STEP UP AND ADDRESS THIS SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE 2 OTHER CARS THAT ARE OLDER AND NEVER BAD A AIRBAG LIGHTG ON. MY 02 AVALANCHE HAS 237,000 MILES ON IT. NEVER A ISSUE. MY 99 CHEVY EXPRESS VAN 347,000 MILES ON IT ZERO AIRBAG LIGHTS EVER! WHY DOES A 5 YEAR OLD CAR WITH 87,000 MILES HAVE IT? GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO ISSUE A SAFETY RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR DIES DUE TO CHEAP PARTS BEING USED.
