Sportage

  • 40,000 miles
Airbag light has come on several times and each time I have taken the vehicle to the dealership for repair. They have replaced the seat bottom and even rewired the car, but the airbag continues to come on and stays on. Due to the ongoing issue, dates and mileage are estimates and do not necessarily reflect the first date of the original issue.
