Consumer Description

2 DAYS AFTER MY WARRANTY EXPIRED A LIGHT APPEARED ON MY DASH AND MY HORN STOPPED WORKING, KIA SAID IT WAS AN AIRBAG LIGHT. I WAS QUOTED OVER $600 TO REPLACE A CLOCK SPRING. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO PUT IN A CLOCK SPRING, IT FIXED THE HORN BUT IT WOULD COST MORE TO REPLKACE A SENSOR OR AIRBAG WHICH EVER WOULD BE NEEDED ONCE THEY DUG INTO IT. I COULDN'T AFFORD THE EXTRA COST SO IT STILL APPEARS ON MY DASH.
