Air Bag Not Deploy problems of the 2012 Kia Motor Optima

Last year I was told by kia if my steering wheel clicked to bring it in ASAP, at the time it wasn't doing that. A month ago it did, I brought it to my dealership and was told it wasn't covered. The clock spring assy failed. Plus it had to do with the airbag not deploying. Some are covered others are not, explain to me please that if they all are doing the same thing why aren't they all covered? please help! thank you.

Kia of savannah on December 3, 2018 I took my vehicle in for recall 18v363 to have an airbag wire harness installed per the recall. Upon attempting to pick my vehicle up I was told the airbag control module had shorted, my airbag light was on, and it needed to be replaced at an expense of $825. 00. I was told by the service associate, elisa france, the airbags may or may not deploy unless the repair was done. I asked how the module went bad when they were fixing it with the new wire harness and was told a "tech" would need to answer that question. I asked for service manager who was unavailable. I called kia customer service and was told the module wasn't under recall or warranty. And I needed to pay for the repair. My complaint prior to the recall my airbags light was not on. We recently had the vehicle serviced for another recall and was not told the module was bad. But now, after the wire harness recall was performed, the airbag control module is suddenly bad. Feeling the vehicle was unsafe to drive, due to the airbags possibly not deploying, I left the vehicle at the dealership awaiting to hear back from a service manager or service tech. Today marks day 4 they've had my vehicle and I've received no call.

Broken clock spring in the steering which will not allow the airbag to go off. Airbag light constantly stays on which results if I got in a car accident the airbags will not deploy.

Tl- the contact owns a 2012 kia Optima. The contact stated that while driving approximately 40 mph the vehicle crashed into the rear of a second vehicle. During the crash the front end was severly damaged but the air bags did not deploy. The driver sustained minor injuries to the head and right hand. No medical treatment was needed. A police report was taken at the scene. The cause of the failure was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer and local dealer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 60,000.

I am an officer (off. Warren webb #48) with the madera (California) police department. I investigated a traffic collision where the driver of a 2012 kia Optima collided with a parked vehicle going approx. 35 mph. The impact sent the parked vehicle forward approx. 3-4 feet into another parked vehicle causing damage to all 3 vehicle. The kia sustained significant damage to the right front bumper / fender area and sheared the right front tire off. The impact was enough for the kia to roll over and cause damage to the left front tire and rim from grinding into the roadway. The parked vehicle it collided with sustained moderate damage to the left rear and driver's side area. When it was shoved forward it sustained minor front end damage and caused minor damage to the back bumper of the second parked vehicle. There was centrifugal rim marks from the kia after impacting with the first parked vehicle. The right front tire was broken from the axle. The kia was heading n/b and came to rest in an almost total e/b position from the collision. My concern is that the airbags did not deploy with such an impact and damage sustained. The driver was wearing his seatbelt and did not sustain any injuries. This occurred on a city street. The report # is madera pd incident 16m-04449.
