Bought car used in November of 2020 from a used car lot made note of airbag light on and no horn they said they will scan it and they did said it was the clock spring and they were gonna order one. Never got it about a month later called local kia dealership they said my car does not have a recall for airbags and did not fix it when I had them look at it. Very serious issue and can be deadly as I have no horn or airbag to protect me if I get into an accident.
The car a 2013 why is my air bag light on? the car been service at kia casey dealership, the service invoice recommended replacing the air bag clockspring already the car 6 years old.
Air bag light is continuously turning on and off as I am driving.
Air bag light randomly came on. It will periodically come off, but it always comes back on. This is not only extremely frustrating, but also extremely dangerous. It is a shame that kia is yet to address this issue. I have taken my car to several mechanics and none of them can figure out what the issue is.
Airbag light randomly started coming on and then turning off while driving. Now it stays on for long periods of time. No accidents or reason for this to happen. Mechanic says it will cost a lot to try to figure out what wrong and kia should recall as this is an issue with the car. I am concerned that if there ever is an accident the airbag won't work, and that is extremely dangerous.
My airbag light came on then went off, it stays on now. Kia tells me the clock spring shorted out. No idea why! they tell me I need a new airbag and clock spring. Drivers side. The code is b134600. The price $1037. 47 + tax !! that's 2 hours labor. They told me it won't pass inspection without being fixed. Help-not sure what to do. I was driving when the light came on.
The airbag light started out by it would flash on every so offten then it would come on and go off when id turn my car. Then it came on and stayed for a couple days now it just stays on . I was told the it would cost me alot to just have the system checked out by kia . And that if im to ever have a accident my airbags wont work. I feel that kia is at fault and my car should be recalled.

The vehicle was taken to the dealer (dch kia in temecula, California) where it was diagnosed that the coil in the steering wheel needed to be replaced. The contact was informed that the failure was not covered by the warranty. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure recurred and was not repaired. The failure mileage was 85,000.
I bought this car new 13jul2012, and have had no serious problems. About one month ago the mileage reached 60,000 which ended the bumper to bumper warranty. About two weeks ago at mileage of about 60,600 while driving the air bag light came on, then a few moments later it went off, then on again and off again, and etc. I emailed my kia dealer about the problem, and they replied that since the btob warranty had expired I would be completely responsible for the costs of correcting the problem. This seems very unfair to me as the car just exceeded the 60,000 warranty mileage by about 1% (600 miles). At a maximum charging me 1% of the total repair costs seems fair.
