2 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 05/21/2017

We were traveling 64 mph on interstate 75 south (it was raining hard), when we were hit from behind at 75-78 miles per hour by an f150 truck. Our airbags did not deploy which caused us to hit the steering wheel and dashboard. At the rate of speed we were hit, the bags should have deployed. Our Sorento had over $9,000 in damage to the rear. The bags are a malfunction, as far as we are concerned.

4 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 12/01/2014

This kia was rented from enterprise due to my car being in the shop. I found steering problems with this car as with the braking system already which I found odd as this is supposedly a brand new vehicle. Not only that it races intermittently sometimes more than 10 miles or so & at other it slows down even though the gas pedal is being pressed on. On December 1, 2014 I was driving home after visiting a friend who was returning to ohio for college. Following the road, I had to cross some railroad tracks to as I was veering slightly left. This kia steering locked & accelerated to approximately 40 or so miles, went off the railroad tracks & hit the mental posts holding a billboard. I was not drinking at all & was wearing my seatbelt. Airbags did not deploy & due to seatbelt, my back is broken & received major lascerations to my right eye & face. I was transported to 2 trauma units. This kia Sorento has had steering & power problems since 2013 and unfortunate for me, I thought these issues were fixed & redesigned.
