The airbag light came on and remained on. We took it to the dealership to have it tested. First we had to pay a fee to have the diagnostic test run. We were then informed that the sensor in the passenger seat had gone bad and the airbags would not deploy without us repairing it. The cost to repair it was $2,000 because the entire seat had to be replaced. That was two weeks ago. Now the airbag light is on again.
Involved in a car accident while traveling on highway. Someone hit me very hard lost control of their vehicle. Airbags did not deploy at all.
The seat belt light has become illuminated due to a sensor failure in the passenger seat. This problem is well known and discussed among kia owners. The failure of the sensor causes all of the airbag system to fail and the airbags will not deploy. With the recent recalls to other kia and Hyundai models, this model should be expanded to include this model.
