2 Front Air Bag Sensor Control problem of the 2011 Kia Motor Forte

Failure Date: 02/19/2020

Took car into dealership for recall sc165. Was told that the recall doesn't account for removing/reading the airbag sensors. The estimate to read the codes is $150 that can then go to cost of repairs. Why wouldn't a recall on the airbag system include reading the senors and ensuring they are working properly?.

3 Front Air Bag Sensor Control problem of the 2011 Kia Motor Forte

Failure Date: 10/28/2015

Took my 2011 kia Forte into the kia dealership today because the engine is making a ticking sound. I have had two other mechanics in recent weeks tell me it is a serious problem with the lifters and/or the pistons inside the engine. The kia mechanic refuses to acknowledge there is a ticking sound, but in formed me the air bag sensor is malfunctioning and I will have to pay $1100 to have the air bag sensor repaired before I can sell the car. Also, my brakes will occasionally make a very loud 'thump' when I apply them, but the kia dealer can find nothing wrong with them.
