Air bags failed to deploy and in my 2003 kia Sedona van accident, I was almost killed. I am still under the care of several doctors because of problems which developed from the accident. This has become a huge financial burden due to numerous medical bills. I can obtain a copy of the accident report if you would like to have it. I think kia should have to assume the responsibility for huge amounts of medical bills since safety equipment apparently did not work properly. I would appreciate hearing from you. Thank you for your time. Betty dickerson.
A front end impact at 45 mph and the airbag did not deploy.
While driving 45 mph, the consumer applied the brake pedal, but the brakes failed. This caused the consumer to collided with the vehicle in front of his. The occupants in all three vehicles sustained minor injuries and were transported to the hospital. Both frontal air bags failed to deploy. The vehicle was towed to a garage for inspection. Please provide further details.
In July 2004 a person ran a stop sign, I completely drove into her whole passengers side with the front end of my 2003 kia Sedona. I also had my 2 year old son in the car at the time. The air bags did not deploy which was a concern to the emergency personnel that responded to the scene. I sustained neck injury that later had to have surgery to correct and my son who was in his safety seat in the rear also sustained burn injury from his safety seat harness. I contacted kia after the accident and was told that there was no way to test the air bags unless they deployed them. Needless to say they would not do this. Again in August 2005 another driver ran a stop sign and again I hit them with full front end to their drivers side. Again the air bags did not deploy causing concern with the emergency personnel. I still continue to have pain from my 2004 accident and I am still in the process of trying to recoup some of my losses. (wages, medical, time with my son). I can't even begin to list the loss I have that will never be recouped. Someone needs to check into this, it seems to me after reading all these complaints about the air bags that something is wrong. I have all the police reports, estimates and pictures.
Upon impact the driver's side air bag did not deploy resulting in the driver hitting her face on the steering wheel. The driver suffered from multiple cuts inside her mouth, a fractured nose which caused shortness of breath and multiple bruises.
While driving at 55 mph vehicle spun out of control and hit a semi tractor trailor and air bags did not deploy.
While driving at 45 mph consumer was involved a front and rear accident and neither of the air bags deployed. The consumer was trying to avoid being hit by another vehicle. When she swerved, the vehicle got to close to the guardrail so she pulled to the right. At that point, the vehicle started to skid and fishtail. Consumer couldn't regain control. The vehicle spun around and hit the guardrail with the front of the vehicle. Then the vehicle bounced across the expressway and hit the guardrail with the rear of the vehicle. The vehicle then bounced back across the expressway and finally stopped. The consumer sustained an orbital fracture. The air bags fail to deploy. Mechanic stated the air bags should've deployed.
