MY AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON, AND HAS STAYED ON EVER SINCE. THE DEALER WANTS $100.00 TO CHECK WHY THE LIGHT IS ON. I TOLD THEM KIA SHOULD CHECK IT FOR FREE, BECAUSE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THEY TOLD ME KIA WON'T DO THIS. I DON'T THINK THEY CARE ENOUGH ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS. I AM SURE THEY WILL CARE, WHEN SOMEONE WITH THIS ISSUE, GETS INTO AN ACCIDENT, AND THEIR AIR BAGS DO NOT DEPLOY. *TR

2006 KIA SEDONA WITH ABOUT 80000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE FOR OVER 3 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. MY AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON AND IT IS DUE TO A BAD SENSOR UNDER THE SEAT WHICH IS NOT OUR FAULT. AT THE MOMENT WHEN THIS LIGHT IS ON NO AIRBAGS WORK AND THIS IS A FAMILY VEHICLE. KIA NEEDS TO PAY TO FIX THESE PROBLEMS AS THEY ARE THEIR FAULT, THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL AS ME WITH THE SAME ISSUES. KIA NEEDS TO MAKE A RECALL ON ALL 2006 SEDONAS AND PAY FOR THESE FAULTY WIRES AND SENSORS THEY INSTALLED. I DO NOT HAVE 900 BUCKS TO FIX SOMETHING I DID NOT CAUSE, WHERE ARE CONSUMERS RIGHTS!!?? *TR

THIS HAPPENED TWICE. AS I ATTEMPTED TO PULL OUT OF A PARKING SPACE, MY CAR WOULD ONLY GO 5MPH. I HAD NO GAS FEED. IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS THE THROTTLE BODY AND WAS FIXED UNDER WARRANTY THE FIRST TIME. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER AT THE TIME THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM FOR MY VEHICLE. IN FACT, HE WAS HELPING ANOTHER OWNER WITH THE VERY SAME PROBLEM WHEN I CAME IN. THE SECOND TIME WAS DEC 2013. THE SAME THING HAPPENED. THIS TIME IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY (87,000 M) AND I HAD IT CLEANED AT MY EXPENSE. IT HAS WORKED SINCE THEN. I AM NOW AT 97,000M. I AM EXPECTING IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN SOMEDAY. *JS
