| I own a kia spectra 2009 at the beginning of the month the airbag light on the dash came on and stays on. the airbag light that is in the center console for the passenger seat (which indicates if on/off) is not working at all. called kia and spoke with a representative and was told because of the mileage the war not cover this. took it to the dealer and the cost of the seat replacement is going to $1637.31. by the looks of this it is an ongoing problem with certain models for kia. i can not justify this amount for the passenger seat replacement. was also told by the representative that it would be forwarded to a manager to see if any assistance could be offered for the replacement of the seat. in the state that i live in this vehicle will not pass state inspection. | |||

| Passenger seat does not always sence there is a passenger setting in the seat. the dealer replaced the passenger seat once and it did work ok for about two months they now refuse to work on it till they see proof of it not working. they clain company policy will not allow them to work on it. i feel they are putting my passengers in the way of harm and could be liable for injury or death. | |||

| I purchased a new kia spectra (2009) november, 2008 and within few months i started experiencing low back pain. i tried to sell the car without luck. i tried to trade it in but didn't do it because of the low price that was offered to me by dealers. the pain started to get worse even if i drive it for short distances. i have been taking pain pills otc or by prescription without much help. recently i sought the services of a chiropractor hoping for better pain management. he took two x-rays, did a spine adjustment, spine traction treatments and tens. my x-rays show that i have misalignment of the spine between l4-l5 which could be as a result of the poor lumbar support of the driver's seat in my car. i have no previous history of back pain or any trauma to my back. just wanted to know if you can help thanks, masoud isat | |||
