1 Side/window Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 08/31/2012

2010 kia Soul was hit by Plymouth neon as neon was exiting highway I-70 westbound at zumbehl rd in st charles, mo. Neon failed to either stop at red light or yield right of way to my kia Soul. The Soul was hit on the right front completely tearing off the front bumper. The Soul was spun counter clockwise and hit a second time in the right side rear passenger door. The impact sent the Soul across 2 traffic lanes and across an approximately 6 inch high median curb into the path of oncoming traffic. Neither the front airbags, nor the side airbags deployed and the front passenger impacted the side interior causing injuries.

2 Side/window Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 09/09/2010

09/09/2010 I was t-boned in a 2010 kia Soul with 1822 miles on the odometer. The car that hit me was a murano going 45 mph. The impact was on the diver side quarter panel and driver door. I sustained a concussion from hitting the driver side window and some spectacular bruising on my left arm and shoulder. Not one of the six airbags deployed. I purchased this car because of the safety rating and the number of airbags. Today 01/16/2011 the car is still in the shop. Repairs have been a nightmare. The front driver side wheel was bent parallel to the ground. I am not a happy camper.
