1 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2012 Kia Motor Soul

Failure Date: 08/01/2020

My 2012 kia Soul has started to make a clunking sound when turning the steering wheel. On top of this the steering has become very loose when driving. While driving the wind blew at the car and the steering being so loose caused me to almost loose control and crash. Lucky for me there wasn't another car around or it would have hit me head on. It's hard to control it especially at higher speeds. I also noticed that the air bag light is constantly on also now. I'm not sure why that is happening. I hope it works in case this steering issue causes me to wreck. I need the car to drive to work and don't have the money to pay dealership to even look at it. While driving on the highway has become very nerve-wracking due to steering being so loose. I have read that everyo e with this year and model are having similar issues.

5 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2010 Kia Motor Soul

Failure Date: 02/01/2016

The airbag light stays on (driver side) and the passenger side flies on and off. Vehicle taken to dealer reports a new module needs to be installed but it would be charged to the owner. I disagree as this car has never been an accident and from reviewing complaints on line this is a known defect.
