I was hit from behind at approximately 40mph and then pushed into the car in front of me. The airbags did not deploy. The car had a lot of damage and I had the car repaired. Prior to that accident, the airbag light had come on twice over the previous year and the dealership just reset it when I brought it in for an oil change. The light is on again and they want to charge me to run a diagnostic and have it fixed. I am in virginia and cannot have the car pass inspection with the light on. I'm furious at the dealership and kia!.

This morning while driving, the airbag light illuminated for no apparent reason. The airbags have never been deployed. I was in a residential area with decent roads. I am concerned that the airbags will malfunction and deploy while I am driving and possibly cause an accident. Please investigate. I should not have to spend money on this repair as there is no reason this should have occurred but it is a safety issue. Again, the symbol remains lit. 6/8/16. Site won't accept date.

In April 2016 my wife was involved in an accident which totaled our kia Forte 2011. The air bags failed to deploy following the accident I spent endless weeks with various representatives from kia expressing my concern. I see the recall has taken place but almost 2 years later and after people have died. I am appalled, I was told that my vehicle did as it was supposed to and that air bags dont always deploy. Kia corporate was aware there was an issue. My wife did not die but obviously from the enclosed pictures there was damage done. My wife was hit from behind and then thrown into oncoming traffic at which time the drivers door flew open yet no air bag deployed to protect her. People need to be held accountable these deaths could have been averted.

On 1/15/2016, I hit a massive 10-point buck (deer) head on. It was standing in the middle of the highway, and I drove into it doing 65 mph. The front of my car sustained significant damage; the entire front end was pushed back and the hood was bent back to the windshield. Yet, my airbag did not deploy. I have worked as a paramedic/ff for over 15 years, and I have worked hundreds of accident scenes. I can tell you right now. . . This airbag system failed. With the front end damage that my car sustained, that airbag should have deployed immediately. I have reached out to kia with no response, so perhaps the NHTSA can force kia to fix this. Because I can tell you right now, there are going to be some fatalities if this isn't fixed.

Drivers forehead hit and bent steering wheel and caused major front end damage to the kia and considerably less damage to the Toyota venza. Kia was not drivable, so it was taken to a salvage yard of a flat bed truck. Driver of kia was taken to hospital for x-rays and evaluation. Driver of kia suffer neck\back pain, bruised forehead and head ache and was prescribed pain pills & anti inflammatory medication.

Failure of the air bag deployment and seat belt restraint must be addressed and corrected by kia before more injuries occur.
