| Purchased a 2008 kia sedona used with a 3y 36k extended warranty. on the way home i tested to see if the cig lighter worked in the dash. the air bag light illuminated, and the interior lights no longer work. also the a/c fan in the cabin is now stuck on high when in use. this is an annoyance however the major concern is the air bags will now not function. after extensive online research this is more than a common occurance. kia should be forced to recall every electrically faulty vehicle they put out. the electrical problems which are numberous always seem to disable the air bags and cause other issues. this is not safe and is a hazard to the public. | |||

| It all started when my wife picked up the vehicle in question from a rental salesman, he told her that she should not plug our gps unit into the cigarette lighter or it would cost $90.00 for us to repair the light that would come on for the air bags. we did not plug the unit into the cigarette lighter but plugged it into the accessory power outlet. on sunday 07/12/09 i encountered a problem. the air bag light came on, the air conditioner only came on high, and the interior lights went out. it's an electrical problem in the outlets. *tr | |||
