Air Bag On-off Switch Problems of Kia Motor Sedona

About 2 years ago, I began experiencing occasional times when I would turn on the left turn signal and the right turn signal would come on. The first few times it happened, I thought I must've turned on the wrong signal as it happened infrequently. Now it occurs often, where engaging the left turn signal is very unpredictable, with it sometimes turning on the left signal, sometimes the right signal, switching back and forth between the signals, or no signal engaging. When engaging the left turn signal and completing a left turn, when the signal disengages, the right signal will turn on and flash several times without turning on the right signal. This makes for dangerous lane changing and turning as it is difficult to make sure the right signal turns on. Additionally, the passenger air bag light comes on frequently when an adult is seated in the passenger seat, as if the vehicle thinks a child is seated in the passenger seat and the air bag would not deploy in a crash. I brought the vehicle to kia to have them fix this, but they said the vehicle was out of warranty even though it was 3 years old, and wanted hundreds of dollars to even look at it, not including fixing the problem. I have seen several other complaints regarding the turn signals in this make/model and year, particularly with the left turn signal. Here is a link to a youtube video of another kia with the same problem: https://youtu. . Read more...

St complaint: on evening of Friday, 12/31/04, a clunking/grinding sound from right side of my kia Sedona at about 58,000 miles grabbed and seized the right axle. On 1/1/05 [sat] I drove car to local srvce cntr. On 1/3/05 [Monday] srvc cntr diagnosed burnt/broken right axle wheel bearings. Altho I told srvce cntr to do brake service on all 4 wheels but not wheel bearings, as I wanted that work to be done by my kia dealership - my local station replaced brake pads & rims and honed rotors and replaced front right axle wheel bearings. Tow service to kia dealership was cancelled by me as a result. 2nd complaint: on wed, 1/5/05, I drove daughter at 6:45 a. M. From bronx to her laguardia hs in manhattan.
