general problems of the 2017 Kia Motor Forte

-airbags did not deploy. -the car is available for inspection. -the driver was put at significant risk after the vehicle accidentally slid on ice while navigating a sharp curve, causing it to veer off the road and crash into trees. The impact resulted in the car being totaled from the front bumper to the back. Despite the severity of the crash, the airbags failed to deploy, making the driver's seatbelt the only factor that ultimately saved his life. -insurance agent still needs to look at the car. Police office was present, along with tow driver. -no warnings.

Once coming home, my airbag from steering wheel deployed. I did not get into an accident, just as I closed my door it went off. I worried about my safety especially because I have a baby. Any airbag could’ve gone off for no reason. I don’t feel safe in my car. After taking it to viva kia here in el paso, they did not offer any inspections just a number to call. I was scared when they sent me off in a car like that with no diagnostics done. No lights were on prior to this incident so I definitely was not warned about it.

Error code b1620 is registering on my 2017 kia Forte. The current recall for this issue only covers some 2017 kia Forte vehicles.

The airbags did not deploy when a large Jeep turned into the driver side door.

I have a 2017 kia Forte that I believe was made in mexico (12/16) in December of 2016. I have an airbag fault illuminated. I used a scan tool to read the fault. Its 10 faults including dtc b1620, the airbag srscm is not communicating. I made an appointment at local kia dealer for recall. I downloaded the sc226 recall. The recall affects a production range for 2017-2018 my Forte from March 2, 2017 to July 27, 2018. My kia was manufactured 3 months before and has the same defect. I used the NHTSA website to search the VIN and returned the same results. I want to register a complaint that there are more affected vehicles than covered by this recall. I am sure that if the NHTSA were to collect data on vehicles being repaired for this identical defect would find that a greater number of vehicles were affected and many may be operating unsafely without repair.

My car is stalling. Stalled on the highway. Has knocking sound. And if I let up off the gas at all it stalls. Will stall in neutral as well. Was involved in an accident last year and airbags did not deploy even though they should have. My car started stalling at 86,000 miles with regular oil changes. I’ve only had the vehicle about a year and a half. My lights also are shorted out due to the trunk not closing all the way and rain water getting in. I’m still making payments. I do not know what to do. I’m a sole caregiver to my terminally ill mother. I need this car. I do not make very much money.
