Description of crash: on [xxx], I was involved in a front-end collision while driving my 2024 kia Sportage. Despite the impact, the airbags did not deploy. Additionally, the forward collision assistance system did not engage or warn me prior to the crash, even though conditions were normal and the system was active. Safety concern: •the airbags and collision assistance are federally regulated safety systems. Their failure put me and any potential passengers at serious risk. •I am very concerned this indicates a defect in the airbag and/or collision avoidance system. Damage/injuries: my front end of my vehicle is completely destroyed, and so is my engine. As for myself I am experiencing some soreness and discomfort requested action: •I request that kia and NHTSA investigate this failure as a potential safety defect. •I want confirmation that my case has been documented and reviewed for possible recall or repair action. State farm claim #: [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

While traveling on a 4-lane highway and using cruise control, a car in the left-hand lane was making a left turn across a median cut through, and my car's sensors detected a collision and took me from 60 mph down to 35 mph in about five seconds. If a car had been behind me, it would have rear ended me. I no longer use the cruise control for this reason. And yes, my sensors were clean. I had just gotten the car cleaned within a day or two prior. I have an appointment this coming Monday to take it to the dealership, to have them look at it. Separate incident. While parked in a parking lot, came out of restaurant and cars were parked very close on either side of my car. My car's sensors detected collision and would not let me back out. I had to pull forward and try to go back numerous times before it finally released the collision warning and allowed me to back out. This happened many months ago, but I am just now having the time to take it and drop it to the dealership because they want to keep it all day.
