Takara recall I was is a wreak and got hit on the driver front side of my vehicle and none of my air bags went off. I was turning on the the highway going about 15 mph and the other vehicle was going about 60 mph.
I was driving on the highway and the brake light & battery light came on . The engine sounded rough , when I went to pull of the highway , I had no power steering.
Was involved in head on collision with other vehicle ðriving at approximately same speed. Had a passenger in vehicle. Neither driver or passenger airbag deployed. Although injuries were minimal this is very concerning, especially as I just purchased another kia vehicle.
All my lights both internal & external are burning out every few months. And I've had to replace my battery times also. My headlights are replaced every 4-5 months now, first starting out every year has now dropped to months. The battery lasts from 10-13 months before having to be replaced. Now parking & brake lights are burning out at a rate of about every 6 months. Called my local kia service rep and he says my dash and console would have to be ripped out to repair, and of course it is no longer covered under warranty. Also my interior lights on dash,console and inside on the header no longer work. Have checked all fuses and can find nothing unusual.
