Front Air Bag problems of the 2000 Kia Motor Sephia

Hit a light pole/air bags did not inflate.

Purchased vehicle approximately 10 days before accident and noticed immediately that the brakes were "mushy" and stopping distance seemed unusual. Individual selling vehicle (not dealer) stated that this was normal for the vehicle. It was hard for me to be certain sinced my previous vehicle is known for very touchy brakes and I thought it might just be an adjustment period. However, I am a careful and patient driver and in 20 years of driving have had only 4 speeding tickets and zero accidents until I drove this car. After approximately 9-10 days the check engine light came on. I was traveling at approx. 15 mph in heavy traffic with about one car length between myself and the pickup in front of me. The pickup driver slammed her brakes and I slammed mine only to have them go all the way to the floor and provide no resistance. I hit the pickup hard enough to severely bruise my arm on the steering wheel and cause several days of back and neck pain. Some of this might have also been avoided if the airbags had deployed, but even though this crash was a full frontal accident they did not. After I left the vehicle, another small car hit the back of my vehicle and severely damaged the rear of my vehicle and the front of hers. Her airbags deployed immediately and she sustained zero injuries. My car had only 58,000 miles on it and the tires were nearly new, so it appears to me that I had both brake and airbag failure resulting in the loss of my vehicle and personal injury as well as damage to the vehicles of the other two drivers. Since my vehicle was not financed, it had liability insurance only. I have noticed multiple complaints on this site regarding both brake and airbag failures in the kia Sephia, yet I found no recalls for these items by kia.

Was involved in an accident where I was the passenger I also was the owner of the car. Kia sophia 2000. The seat belt did not hold causing my head and hand to be thrown into the windshield twice. My hand went through the windshield my head broke the windshield. My car was totaled out from the accident but I feel as though kia is at fault for the amount of injuries I received due to the fault of their seat belts. I have to have epidorals on my lower spine and surgery on my neck. Also the air bags on neither side came out.

While driving there was a front end collision and drivers nor passenger air bag deployed, causing injuries. Ts consumer suffered injuries to the chest area, arm and a broken nose.

While traveling at 15 mph another vehicle traveling at 35 to 40 mph ran a red light, and hit consumer's vehicle head on. Upon impact, none of the airbags deployed. Driver stated this was very unsafe airbags should have deployed.

Was traveling at highway speed and was involved in a head-on collision with another vehicle. Upon impact, neither air bag deployed. Vehicle was totaled. Had emergency treatment for shoulder belt abrasion.

Consumer was traveling 45mph when another vehicle pulled in front. Airbags didn't deploy, hitting vehicle head on into other vehicle driver's side. Consumer experienced neck & head injuries. A service operator through manufacturer's hotline confirmed that going at 35mph impact and hitting another vehicle airbags would deploy. Consumer will be contacting dealer.

Driver's air bag cover was separating. Took vehicle to dealer & had the cover replaced. However, replaced air bag cover was worse than the original one. Was informed that the way the cover is situated that is the way the air bag would come out.

Vehicle went off the side on the road, and none of the airbags deployed on impact.
