Airbag warning light stays illuminated when the vehicle is on. KIA mailed me a 2017-2018 MY KIA SEDONA VEHICLES ILLUMINATION OF AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT NEW VEHICLE LIMITED WARRANTY EXTENSION letter. Dealer (Dyer KIA, Lake Wales, FL) refuses to honor the warranty. Made complaints online to the dealer and KIA and they refuse to fix my vehicle. The airbags do not work.

My airbag light went on, without it having been deployed at all. I took it to the dealership and they said there was a problem with the circuitry in which they couldn't guarantee that it would deploy in a possible accident. I also noticed that there is a recall out for some vehicles of my same make/model/year with an airbag recall out that mentions this same exact problem, except that my vehicle VIN number doesn't come up as it being a problem, so the dealership will not fix the problem unless I pay for it.

I was unaware of these recalls but have had issues with the air bag sensor in the passenger seat, the automatic doors and with the turn signals switching the way they respond.

I was driving my 2015 Kia Sedona and the airbags imploded out of nowhere, I was not hurt thank god. But my front of my car got damaged and so did the air bags and my steering wheel and all that got broken. I am writing to see if I can be reimbursed as I have fix these issues but I believe they hav to do with a recall Kia has. I spent a lot of money fixing it so I would like to get reimbured as I paid outa pocket for something that was a recall and a safety problem and could have been avoided. Please help me

I went to the dealership to get the Air bag recall update and now the light started coming on and off the past couple weeks. And is on every time I start the vehicle. I have little ones and need to get this fixed

I purchased this van pre-owned from Bridgewater Kia in NJ with an extended warranty in 2018. There was a recent safety recall for airbags and the airbag warning light was on. I brought the car into Bridgewater Kia on July 18, 2022 and was told that the passenger front airbag module needed to be replaced and that it was not part of the recall. I was also told that this defect SHUTS DOWN ALL OF THE AIRBAGS in the vehicle. There are NO airbags working in this vehicle. I was also told by Bridgewater Kia that (1) the passenger airbag module was back ordered and coming from another country so they do not know when it will arrive; (2) that I would have to pay $1,161.73 upfront before they would even order it; (3) they would NOT provide me with a loaner car; (4) that the airbag was not covered by the extended warranty I purchased from Bridgewater Kia because that warranty ended at 100,000 and we have 101,263 miles on the van and, (5) that I should not drive the car because it is unsafe. This is absurd. An airbag module is not something the owner of the vehicle can maintain. Moreover, the van is only approximately 5 years old and basically designed for people with children. On one hand the dealer is telling me not to drive it because it's unsafe, but I guess expects me, in this economy, to go rent a car indefinitely while we wait from an international shipment? It's not possible for me not to drive the van. This is a major safety problem that involves children that Kia should repair free of charge. They should also provide their customers with a safe means of transportation. They can't delegate airbags to the consumer and it's hard to believe that I am the only one experiencing this. I also want to let you know I have contacted Kia directly out in California and I'm waiting for a call back. I waited because it's only today that I was able to confirm with the dealer that the so-called warranty is useless.

MY 2017 KIA SEDONA PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT SIGN WAS FLASHING AND AIR BAG WARNING RED LIGHT WAS TURN ON. ACCORDING TO THE MANUAL AIR BAG ON PASSENGER SIDE MAY NOT WORK PROPERLY. IT'S KEEP GOING ON AND OFF ON MY DASH.

WHILE DRIVING AROUND A CORNER DOING 25 MPH, ON A BACK ROAD THAT WAS DRY, I CORRECTED THE STEERING TO THE LEFT OUT OF THE CURVE AND THE STEERING CONTINUED TO PULL TO THE RIGHT AND WOULD NOT CORRECT. VEHICLE WENT DOWN A 20 FOOT EMBANKMENT AND STRUCK A TREE HEAD ON. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY IN THE COLLISION AND THE ENGINE DID NOT SHUT OFF. I SUSTAINED SERIOUS INJURIES, RESULTING IN 4 MONTHS OF MISSED WORK AND A DOUBLE DISCECTOMY TO REPAIR TWO SEVERELY HERNIATED DISCS. UNTIL MY SURGERY I WAS IN A WHEELCHAIR FROM THESE INJURIES, AS MY SPINAL CORD WAS COMPRESSED BY THE DISCS IN MY NECK. THE KIA SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THE CUSTOMER RELATIONS HOTLINE WILL NOT SPEAK TO ME REGARDING THE SAFETY FEATURES OTHER THAN TO SAY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE AIRBAGS SHOULD DEPLOY FROM A FULL FRONT IMPACT GOING A SPEED OF AT LEAST 25MPH (AS THERE WAS DOWNWARD MOMENTUM AT THAT POINT) HOWEVER THE AUTO BODY REPAIR SHOP THAT OUR INSURANCE COMPANY ASSIGNED US TO SAYS THE AIRBAGS ARE NOT DESIGNED TO DEPLOY IN SUCH AN ACCIDENT. AS I CANNOT GET AN ANSWER FROM KIA AS TO WHETHER THIS HAS MERIT, I AM LEFT DRIVING A VEHICLE THAT I AM UNSURE IS SAFE.
