I took my car into winn kia dealership in fremont, CA to have my recall completed which entailed seat belts and airbags. They claimed to have completed the recall and gave me my car back a few days later. A month or so later, they called and ask me to bring my car in so they could complete. After back and forth, they couldn’t confirm if the recalls were done and advised I take it to another sister dealership which I did. I took it to dublin kia and they confirmed via email that wynn kia in fremont, CA did not connect my seatbelts and air bags properly - they stated they missed that step when completing the recalls. I drove my car around with my 2 year old daughter niece and nephew in the car for over a month without seatbelts and airbags connected without knowing.

I have tried to work with the dealer who sold me the car and they are either unresponsive or don't have the parts to fix the concern.
