Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)MY AIRBAG LIGHT HAD COME ON. THEN WHEN I GO TO GASBUDDY, IT STATES THAT THERE IS A RECALL INVOLVING THE AIRBAG ON A 2006 KIA RIO THAT WAS MADE FROM FEBRUARY 20TH 2005 TO 2007. HOWEVER MY VIN NUMBER SHOWS THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON MY CAR. I THINK IT'S MORE THAN A COINCIDENCE THAT THERE'S A RECALL AND MY SENSOR IS ON. IF SOMEONE IS KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS SENSOR OH, I WILL BE SUING KIA, AND ANYONE ELSE THAT BLATANTLY DISREGARDED MY COMPLAINT
BOUGHT OUR 2006 KIA RIO IN 2010, WE HAVE 70000 MILES ON IT. THE STARTER WENT OUT. THERE IS NO AFTER MARKET STERTER FOR THIS CAR. THE ONE THAT IS SPECIFIED WILL NOT FIT. THE REPAIR SHOP FOUND ONE THAT FIT HOWEVER AFTER DRIVING IT FOR A MONTH THE CAR WILL NOT EVEN TURN OVER. *KB
