Airbag warning light is on & they may not deploy according to the manufacturer. I find many kia models/owners report this same problem. Should be covered w/a recall!, refund, etc. Owners are not at fault & age or "normal wear & tear" of the vehicle is not to blame! Nhtsa should have required the kia/hyundai corp. To order a recall or notify owners they'd fix this if it happened. Repair is between $800-$2100+!
