My safety as well as the safety of others was put at risk because the airbags should have deployed and they didn’t putting us further at risk.

It keeps getting broken into by the kia boys in attempt of theft. It's a group that targets kias because they're easy. I now have to make sure my steering wheel is locked up. I was recently hit by another driver, I had to go to the hospital but for some reason the airbag did not deploy. I need some assistance.

No incident yet, but I see other kia's that have been recalled for powertrain system and air bag issues. The power train issue comes up when I get my engine light checked and the airbag light is on. Also, a constant problem is the break switch, the push button car won't start sometimes and the steering wheel doesnt lock because immobilizer is a problem and other kia's have been recalled but not mine, instead they sent me a wheel car lock. I see online so many people complaining about the push button car not starting like mine which may be due to the immobilizer issue and theft. It is annoying to see other vehicle recalled but not mine.

2018 kia Forte kept stalling out, 3 times in 2minutes. Drove it home, had it towed to kia spitzer west, it'd been there since may27, 2023. They will not repair, they will not replace, they won't even call me back. It's a disgrace.

On may 13, 2023, I was involved in a severe frontal collision on the passenger side while driving my 2021 kia Forte. The impact caused significant damage, and my insurance company declared the vehicle a total loss. Despite the severity of the crash, none of the airbags deployed. I experienced body pain for several days following the accident. Given the nature of the collision and the damage sustained, the airbags should have deployed to protect the occupants. This raises serious concerns about the reliability of the supplemental restraint system (srs).

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.

The car had a slow ticking noise that was very faint in the front for about 20 minutes 20 minutes later the noise continue to get louder about 45 minutes later six gear was lost in the car in about an hour and a half later the engine failed and the car came to a failure lock down procedure all lights on the front door shut on steering wheel locked on friendship road exit 8 and the vehicle had to be towed to a shop we’re now it was put on a lift and there is a hole in the bottom of the engine , and the transmission is not in tact.

Vehicle was involved in an accident. No air bags were deployed. Vehicle was declared a total loss. Have reached out to kia manufacturing regarding issue.

The air bag light came on. I brought it to the dealer and was told it was the clock spring. I was charged over $700. 00 for this repair. It appears that other years of the same make and model had problems with the clock spring as well and received an extended warranty. I want to know since my car had the same issue why my car 's clock spring is not covered in this class action suit for the extended warranty. . Thank you for any assistance . I contacted kia USA and they would not refund the cost.

Additionally, the contact stated that the air bag warning light was illuminated. The dealer and the manufacturer were notified of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not under recall. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired.

The air bag is on for over 3 years and not included in the recall. This is a fearful safety issue. The serpentine belt has been replaced three times a year.

I initially submitted a complaint on Nov 6 with my 2018 kia about engine failure /possibly, my car was towed to darcars kia urbana pike in frederick MD, I had just made an appointment with them b4 my car broke down to get the trunk & air bag recalls taken care of 11/09 my car sat there until yesterday, they never took care of the recalls? regardless my engine /break down shouldn't they have fixed those issues? and I was told they would run diagnostic test on my car to figure out what happened, I never received anything other than them wanting me to pay 7,000 to fix my car ,or they would give me 500. If I wanted to sell they told my insurance agent I had engine failure from normal wear and tear? I didn't know they only expect their kias to run 100,000k also got a bill with absolutely no explanation of why I was charged,they clearly are playing a game- I called kia America who left me on hold over 2 hrs until I hung up,also emailed them about my recalls not being taken care of - they said it's not their problem, I'm assuming I should get a lawyer now.

The contact owns a 2021 kia Forte. The contact stated that while his mother was driving at 20 mph and attempting to complete a left turn another driver failed to stop at a red light, as a result the contact's mother was struck by the other vehicle on the passenger's side; however, the air bags did not deploy. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a repair shop for body repair but was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic to determine as to why the air bags did not deploy. A police report was filed and injuries were reported. The contact's mother did not initially seek medical treatment but was later treated by a chiropractor for back pain resulting from non-driscript injuries sustained during the accident. The contact also stated that his mother had later been involved in 2 additional vehicle accidents during which the air bags again failed to deploy; no further police reports or injuries were reported. Following the third and most recent incident the vehicle again was not taken to a dealer or independent mechanic for diagnosis though the contact's mother was informed by the body repair shop that the collision was not sufficient enough to trigger air bag deployment. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

Kia has common problems on the airbags even tho my air bags is good but I want to still check it.

The air bag light stays on consistently, with the exception of flashing off for a brief moment periodically, only to return on immediately. Steering wheel mounted audio controls have mixed up controls, volume operating channel skip, while channel skip up, skips down, etc. . . I don't know that it is possible for the air bag to deploy unexpectedly, without impact, but the obvious concern is that it may not go off in the event of an impact, leading to excessive injuries. I had an independent service center advise me that the likely cause is a faulty clock spring, as this would cause issues with the steering wheel controls as well.

It is just airbag sign.

I toke the car in for the recalls it had on it back in the fall of 2022 to don franklin kia in somerset, ky. The airbag light still goes on and off intermittently. It has been on steady for nearly 3weeks straight now. Since that did the recall of the clock spring of the air bag, they are wanting me to pay for the repair out right. It could be as much as $3500. 00 for the air bag and module. I don't know why it's not covered since it didn't fix my problem the first time. Please help, any advice would be appreciated. Thank you sincerely, ricky frazier 364 highway 26 williamsburg, ky 40769 606-234-5104.

Trunk opens unexpectedly.

My wife got an accident in June 2022 but air bag did not work so I contacted kia 6/22/2022 sent proof photo but just no good excuse why air bag did not work. It should be recalled for this matter. Defective airbag or sender.
