Air bag light has gone on and stays on when the car is on

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 kia sedona. while driving 65 mph, another vehicle collided with the front passenger side of the contact's son's vehicle. the air bags failed to deploy. prior to the crash, the air bag warning indicator illuminated. there were no injuries and a police report was not filed. the contact's son was able to drive the vehicle home. the vehicle was not inspected by an independent mechanic or dealer to determine the cause of the air bag failure. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and advised the contact to call a local dealer. the contact stated that an appointment was scheduled with clay cooley kia (1600 e airport fwy, irving, tx 75062 (469) 908-0002). the failure mileage was unknown.

First, the air bag light for driver stays on, then cruise control quit working, now the horn quit working. i took it to a garage and was told it was a faulty clock spring. i looked up and see that other models of kia's have been recalled for faulty clock springs; but not the sedona. i believe this model should also be recalled as it is a safety hazard not to have a working air bag and horn. i was told by two different garages that it will cost $350 to replace the clock spring. i cannot afford to fix this so i will drive with no horn or air bag. if i should be injured or die in a crash due to either of these items not working i have instructed my wife and children to sue kia for not recalling all the clock springs, when its obvious that more models have problems than what has been recalled. *tr
