Warning Light On Problems of Kia Motor Sorento - part 2

(amendments to odi#s: 10668775 & 10663356 - update) on 12/01/2014, I was in a 2015 kia Sorento lx (enterprise insurance rental) traveling on crabb river road, (a city street) sugarland, texas. I fully stopped at the traffic lights because it was red. Once lights turned green, I put the vehicle in motion by stepping on the gas pedal to accelerate but the car felt really sluggish so I gave it more gas in order to gain enough speed as I was about to go over some railroad tracks (approx. 55+ mph) which were on a road that was on an incline. Right as the car reached the tracks, the engine stalled, the steering wheel locked and I lost all control of the vehicle and it dove into a ditch; plowed directly into a steel billboard pole which was cemented into the ground because the brakes became unresponsive. There were no warning lights on the dash prior to the crash. Even though I was fully buckled, the seatbelt did not prevent my head from violently hitting the windshield and bouncing off the steering wheel since none of the 8 airbags deployed. I suffered near fatal injuries including a broken back (l2 fracture), spinal cord, head, eye, chin, jaws, neck and hip; broken teeth, permanent disfiguration (18 stitches), some vision & hearing loss from nerve damage and ptsd, mental anguish, chronic migraines, extreme stress, terrible recurring nightmares, etc. I'm a 5'2" woman and my chest was pinned to the steering wheel upon the impact with the pole and the fire dept. Had to free me and lift me up to the emts. I was transported to the er of a hospital by ambulance and later transferred to the trauma unit of memorial hermann hospital due to the severity of my injuries.

Auto has a dashboard alert when someone sits in the passenger seat. The warning light goes out and there by arming the passenger side air bag. If this light doesn't go out, the airbag system on the passenger side will not activate. I went to the kia dealer to confirm this is what would happen. He said if the light stays on, the system will not activate. He stated that it was becoming a problem in my model of kia. It is approximately $2,000. 00 to repair. To me this is a safety concern worthy of further action by your agency.

The air bag warning light will not extinquish.

Battery was low and then the air bag warning light was on. The battery was replaced and the light still on. Looking online and find out this issue is typical on all kia Sorentos. Wondering why this issue is not being recall. Called dealer and they mentioned that a $130 diagnose test needs to be paid in order to know what is the problem.

"passenger side airbag off" warning light comes on intermittantly when there is a passenger in the front passenger seat. Also the red air bag warning light is on constantly when there is a passenger in the front passenger seat. There is a recall for this very problem on 06 and 07 Sorentos made after June 06 but my kia was made prior to this date and is not included in the recall. I am afraid for the safety of any passenger in this seat and feel it should be covered by the recall. I took it to kia and was told there was no recall for this but now I find out there certainly is but they still are refusing to repair it free of charge.
