My airbag light has been going on/off for a few months now, and i have contacted several kia dealerships that have told me my car is not a part of an airbag recall, and if i want it fixed, i will have to come out of pocket to the time of about $2,000 to get this fixed. The dealerships i called, and 1 i went to in-person, told me that anything related to the airbag light is not under any type of warranty anymore,…

On regular terrain the drivers seat became noticeably loose, and upon going over a speed bump and slightly rougher terrain, the seat is unstable and moves out of place. A few days later the sensor light appeared on the dashboard for the airbags. Uncertain with how it happened, it is a major safety concern and should be addressed accordingly.

There is an apparent issue with the steering column causing the airbag to not function. It is also causing all of the control switches on the steering wheel to not function properly, including the cruise control. It came on when set but then wouldn't go off using the cancel button. This is a huge safety concern. The estimated cost for repair is $1700.

Takata recall on may 12, 2018 i was driving on a highway when i was hit from the driver side rear corner panel at 70mph and made my car fish tail causing my car to roll over four times and the steering wheel airbag did not deploy at all, only airbags that deplyed were the curtain airbags, even though the car had front end damage. I think this needs to be looked at as well asap.

Kia has lots of issues with their air bags. From clock spring to sensors in the driver side and so on. Company does not take care of it and coming up with crazy estimates to fix, please just see how many complaints have been made on google. This is a safety issue and kia needs to take care of it without a charge until they fix their air bag problems.

It's $1400 and my…

My 2014 kia sorento airbag warning light came on without being involved in any sort of accident. After that the controls on the steering wheel also started malfunctioning. This seems to be a common complaint of kia owners.
