Air Bag Light On problems of the 2003 Kia Motor Sorento

Takata recall. My car will not pass inspection due to a problem with one of the airbags. The car hasn't been in an accident but the airbag light is on and I'm told it will not inflate. I was told to check for recalls.

When go to shift truck in drive it makes a clank sound and when driving at a speed between 65-70 the truck starts vibrating, and when in reverse it squeaks when back up,at first my wife it was the u joints so we had it replaced but it all started happing again. Next our battery die had it replaced with a new one now the air bag indicator light stays on all the best time and at times it feels like the accelerator peddle gets stuck at times.

All lights come on, horn blows, but will not start at all, this kia Sorento is junk, its falling apart, I got a disable mother, now can't take her to her doctor appointments, every since I had it, its been nothing but junk, we live on fixed income, can't afford to get another vehicle, and this 2003 kia Sorento should not be on the road, all kia Sorento vehicles are junk, clock is messed up, comes off and on, airbag light is on, now won't even start at all, something needs to be done about kia dealerships selling junk vehicles, will complain again and again, they are junk!.

Engine light is on, airbag light is on, clock can't keep right time, now won't start at all, I wished I never bought this 2003 kia Sorento, they are nothing but junk. Please anybody who reads this do not buy a kia vehicle. I hate kia vehicles, I will never own one again, I would not take a kia vehicle, even if they give me one. To many problems, since I bought it, haven't been anywhere in two weeks, because kia vehicle is junk.

Airbag indicator turned on and has been on since the beginning of the year. I have not been driving the vehicle since the indicator light turned on in fear of the airbags deploying on their own while I'm driving or not deploying if an accident occurs.

I was coming home from work one day ,when the crankshaft bolt came out of my car . I barely made it home . But the front end was jarring my airbag light came on my breaks like same one and I did not have no control of my steering . Then it cost me 1700 . Then one day I was in town and the crankshaft bolt came out of my car again which this time I did not have no control of the steering it took every muscle that I had to keep it in the road the front and shook so bad it jarred everything I lose my airbag light came on my brake lights came on seat belt light came on it was a hazardous on the highway seriously killed me or someone else or really badly hurt them. Then I took it back to the mechanic again and he said welcome it's going to cost you 1700 more which I did not have so I let the bank have it back which now it has run my credit because I didn't have the money to get it fixed and I lost my credit because of thisso yes they need to do a recall on the crankshaft bolt before it does kill someone is that what they're waiting for for someone to die before they do something about. And I keep on replacing bugs brake lights headlights and everything they keep on blowing in this in the kia and I keep on putting money in it for me to get it inspected it cost me a hundred sixty two dollars and 22 dish to replace bulbs that I just replace not even a month before that I have receipts I am so tired of putting money into this kia I didn't have no other choice but to let them take it because it c and the tires at 8 my tires up and I put new tires on which cost me 800 800 again to put in800 again to put inand when this bit when this happened I called kia in charlottesville virginia and they said they put a new crank bolt in at the kids embrace Chevrolet before I boarded so this would make three times the crankshaft bolt had been replaced I want this kia. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

4 months after purchasing this vehicle used off dealership lot, I was having 4 new tires installed for winter. When I climbed back into the car and turned over the ignition, the air bag light has been constantly lit ever since.

My airbag light came on without warning. Now I'm told my airbags won't work. The dealer states I need a new control module. It is coming up as a seat position error. They said it is common. This is a required safety item on new cars, the airbags. If it is a common defect why no recall. Kia won't help.

Airbag light has come on. Vehicle has 74,000 miles on it has never been wrecked or off road. This is safety equipment and should be covered under warranty for life. I have no access to the airbag system and it no longer functions in my vehicle.

: the contact stated while driving on a paved street at 35 mph, the drivers side-impact and both frontal air bags deployed. There were no indicator lights illuminated prior to the incident and the vehicle did not impact anything to cause the deployment. The vehicle was driven to the side of the road without incident. No injuries were sustained and seat belts were in use. The vehicle was towed to dealer. Upon inspection, the computer diagnostic test indicated the vehicle had been in a major collision. The dealer is awaiting approval from the manufacturer before repairs are made. Updated 5/22/2006 -.

Vehicle went in for repair of heater core at which time the dashboard was removed. 2 days later the airbag light came on and stayed on. Went back to the dealer who said it was getting to much of a charge but it was not covered under warranty and was not caused by them. When asked what caused it they do not know. They said it was ok to drive that nothing was wrong.

Air bag light came on and stayed on. Took to kia dealership where I purchased 2003 kia Sorento (new) was told that the "clock spring" needed to be replaced and that it was very common that they had to be replaced. I was told that I had to pay for repair. I asked if it was a common problem that they had to replace a lot why had it not been a "safety issue" and a recall been enacted. They did not know.

I purchased a 2003 ex kia Sorento in June 2003. On July 13,2003 the air bag light system came on. The vehicle was taken to barron kia. They stated they replaced the air bag module. It took five days to repair. On November 11, 2003 the air bag light went back on. The vehicle was taken to barron kia on the 14th. It was at the dealership for another six days. They stated it was the lojack alarm system that was causing the problem. It was fixed. On November 29,2003 the airbag light began to flicker on and off. The vehicle was taken back to barron kia on December 3, 2003, in order for a lojack technician to remove the alarm and for barron kia to fix and run test on the airbag. The car was there 11 days and supposedly checked for all airbag possible problems. All test came back normal. On January 19, 2004 the airbag light went back on. The car was once again taken to barron kia on that day. At this point, the alarm is disconnect and the air bag continues to illuminate and indicating that there may be a malfunction with the safety system with the car. The vehicle is still at barron kia (has been their 7 days now) and is awaiting the installation of another airbag module. I have been in contacted with the kia hotline several times as well as lojack customer service. Neither company wants to take responsibility or accountability. It is distressing to me that such companies would jeopardizes the lives of their customers. I am also disturbed that a new car would be sold and returned to me several times with a defective safety system.

The air bag light was on after being serviced nine times.
