5 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 07/04/2025

Date of incident: [xxx] location: [xxx] to whom it may concern, I am submitting this letter to report a potential airbag malfunction involving my 2024 kia Forte gt. On [xxx], I was the driver and sole occupant of my vehicle when I was t-boned on the driver’s side while traveling [xxx] on [xxx] at the intersection of [xxx] . The collision was severe enough to spin my vehicle and resulted in significant damage to the driver-side door and frame. Despite the force and nature of the crash, none of the airbags in my vehicle deployed—including side airbags that should have been triggered by the impact. I was later diagnosed with a concussion and sustained other physical and emotional injuries from the crash. As of the date of this complaint, the vehicle has not been repaired, and I have photos documenting the damage. Given the potential risk to other drivers who may experience similar failures, I am requesting that the national highway traffic safety administration review this vehicle for airbag deployment defects. I am willing to provide photos, medical records, and further details as needed. Also, the seatbelts sometime freeze when pulling them out to get secured in the car, you have to release and then pull again to gain full access to the seat belt. There is a police report done on this matter but I do not have access to it yet because it has yet to be approved by the lrpd sergeant. We checked on July 5th, 2025. Sincerely, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
