The engine indicator light was coming on at first; i put it on a test and the service tech explained to me that the sensor needed to be replaced. Now the airbag light is on.

We were traveling 64 mph on interstate 75 south (it was raining hard), when we were hit from behind at 75-78 miles per hour by an f150 truck. Our airbags did not deploy which caused us to hit the steering wheel and dashboard. At the rate of speed we were hit, the bags should have deployed. Our sorento had over $9,000 in damage to the rear. The bags are a malfunction, as far as we are concerned.

This kia was rented from enterprise due to my car being in the shop. I found steering problems with this car as with the braking system already which i found odd as this is supposedly a brand new vehicle. Not only that it races intermittently sometimes more than 10 miles or so & at other it slows down even though the gas pedal is being pressed on. On december 1, 2014 i was driving home after visiting a friend who…
