general problems of the 2016 Kia Motor Optima

I have pictures.

There is a clean slit on my dashboard where the passenger airbags are it’s started to form a complete square around the air bag placement and I’m worried it might have a problem with the airbags and its not just cosmetic. When I googled the issue there are tons of kia drivers with the same clean sit appearing over the passenger air bag. I contacted kia dealership and they said I’d have to pay for a diagnostic fee to determine if it’s a problem but there’s clearly a problem with the 2016 kia so I’m sure all of us owners would appreciate it being recalled.

The dashboard has a crack around the edge of the passenger airbag. I am trying to find out if this is a safety issue for airbag deployment.

I got into a frontal car accident the other car hit the front of my vehicle and no airbags deployed. I’ve researched today and seen people are having many issues with airbags on this vehicle and that there were many recalls regarding airbags from years ago. I was never informed of any issues with any of that when I got this vehicle.

Crack in dash along outline of airbag. Burns oil so it has to be refilled monthly now mechanic says compression and combustion are problems can’t get into kia until February when warranty will probably be expired.

Dashboard shows a crack right where the passenger airbag is and Kia Motors wont change it, also the paint is flaking and noticed other kia models with that same paint scheme that’s peeling off.

A straight line crack about 4 inches long appeared suddenly on my dash. The crack is directly over the dash mounted airbag. The car has been parked in my garage since I bought it new in 2016. In addition, my work location has an employee garage so it is hardly parked out in direct sun. It is in mint condition. I took the vehicle to the local kia dealer and they said it was not covered by the warranty. My concern is that the crack may impede the deployment of the airbag in a critical situation. I feel it should be investigated because there are a lot of exact same complains on the internet concerning a crack at the same location.

I have a 2016 kia Optima within the 2nd year all my window motors fail within a 6 month timeframe. My car in the 4th year started to burn oil quickly the oil light would not appear until I begin to hear a knocking sound. Also, in the 4th year of having my car there has been cracking in my passenger side (I think it is where the airbag is located). All of the areas could put my life in some type of danger or a family member if kia doesn't see fit to remedy these areas. In 2018, my warranty was out and I didn't know until I received my bill the service person didn't advise me of this issue. So, I ended up paying $700 for a battery installment when I advised him that it was the issue, he insisted I get a diagnosis done.

Suddenly, the warning lights on my dashboard resembled that of a christmas tree. I was seeing warning lights for the passenger airbag, blind spot warning/assist, auto-hold, adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, etc - were all suddenly offline. After finally getting an appointment scheduled with my local dealership, I was told that the airbag module had gone bad and needed replaced. With that module out, the car could not communicate with the other systems and thus was the cause of the errors/warning lights.

A straight line crack about 4 inches long appeared suddenly on my dash. Upon doing some online research, I found that the crack is directly over the dash mounted airbag. I took the vehicle to the local kia dealer and they said it was not covered by the warranty. My concern is that the crack may impede the deployment of the airbag in a critical situation. I feel it should be investigated because there are a lot of exact same complains on the internet concerning a crack at the same location.

Air bag light came on after I also began having issues with blind spot detection warning lights. Abs lights on as well. Took vehicle to kia dealer in gainesville GA and they told me it was the left rear wheel sensor. Wanted $800 to repair ( no longer under warranty). Took vehicle to my mechanic, who ordered the part and replaced sensor. Abs lights & bsd lights went off for almost 2 weeks, then came back on. Air bag light has not gone off.

My driver side axle is clicking and pop when I turn and there is no way that has been taken care of and it clearly states on this site that all are recalls on the model is there anyway the recalls an be done now I bought this call at 2018 preowned with 38000 or more miles on it it now has 82000 miles on it and if a recall has not ended done why can't they do them now and I don't feel these vehicle is safe for me to be in and I'm disabled!!! I wanted to see if you all can help with these issues with the engine as well!!!all recalls on this model.

I was going west on 210 in redlands, California approximately at 6:15 p. M. When I was rear ended by a 2015 Toyota camry. His right front fender ran into my left back fender causing me to spend and settle on the left shoulder of the freeway. The side driver air bag deployed the steering wheel airbag did not. My car was totaled.

I just bought this car a month ago and have not been able to work in it as a lyft driver because there is always something wrong with it it's been in the shop more than I've drove it it makes a knocking noise and I'm not safe in the vehicle I did a history check on it and come to find out their are a bunch of recalls on it can anyone help me please?I was driving on a city street and highways.

As I began crossing the intersection (highway) I ended up getting t- boned halfway through the intersection by a pickup. He was speeding going roughly 60mph in a 45mph zone my kia Optima sustained passenger side/ and frontal impact damage. The impact of the accident sent me skidding across the highway and none of my frontal airbags activated nor did the seatbelt lock up. This lead me to sustain heavy chest injuries from the impact of the steering wheel. Also the car could not be shut off after the accident. The vehicle stayed running until emt disconnected the power to it.

I was involved un a rear end collision. I was struck from behind while stopped @ a traffic light. Severe damage to the rear end of the car. No air bags deployed from the impact. I ended up hitting my head very hard on the steering wheel. No air bags deployed @ all from the collision.

I got car accdinet and three airbag just pop out so that meant need replace?.

One car head on crash. Passenger side curtain did not deploy. Passenger had many injuries right side. Happened in construction zone on a highway, in missouri.
