“Hello, long story short, Kia has faulty airbags I have a very pregnant wife. They have yet to die right by the customer and off safe vehicles to replace these until a fix is found. I went to Kia in turnersville nj to have a hub assembly replaced. At this time I requested the technician to run the VIN for an airbag recall I saw online, this was in june. He came back saying he checked and it is all clear and I asked him to check again mainly because she is 8 months pregnant. Once again told it was clear. …”
