FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON , I PURCHASED THIS CAR LAST 2016 AND WHEN I CHECKED FOR RECALLS SAID NOTHING PENDING BUT THIS ISSUE ITS BEEN ALWAYS SINCE I BOUGHT IT ,SOMETIMES LIGHT GOES BLINKING,VEHICLE IS IN USE ,CALLED KIA AND THEY SAID THIS CAR WAS ALREADY CHECKED FOR THAT RECALL .RECALL # SC076A

WE HAD AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH THE CAR AND IT WAS TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP A COUPLE HUNDRED MILES FROM HOME. THERE THE DEALER NOTICED THE BRACKET THAT HOLDS THE REAR END ON HAD RUSTED AWAY AND IT WAS LEAKING FLUID. THE CAR HAS AROUND 45,000 MILES ON IT AND I FEEL THAT AN ISSUE LIKE THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL AS I HAVE SINCE FOUND IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND WAS RECALLED IN EUROPE FOR THE SAME THING. MY DAUGHTER COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. THIS CAR HAS BEEN IN A KIA DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES SO FAR THIS YEAR FOR AN OIL LEAK ISSUE AND THEY SHOULD HAVE MENTIONED THIS ISSUE. THE WARRANTY RAN OUT IN MAY AFTER THE LAST VISIT UP TO THIS ONE. THE DEALER EVEN SAID THERE COULD HAVE BEEN A FIRE.

TAKATA RECALL- I HAVE CHANGE ALL THE BREAK PADS, AND WHEN I PRESS THE BREAK PEDAL I GOES ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR PANEL. I HAVE ALL READY BLEED ALL THE LINE TO GET THE AIR OUT, BUT IT NOT WORKING. THEIR IS NO BRAKE LIGTH ON, AND ON CARS.COM I SEE SOME RECALLS AND THE KIA'S RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER IS SC098. PLEASE HELP THANK YOU

I MAY LOVE MY KIA SORENTO BUT WHEN IT COMES TO SAFETY DEVICES AND FAULTY AIR BAGS KIA COULD CARE LESS ABOUT ONES SAFETY. I HAVE BEEN PARTS AND SERVICE DIRECTOR FOR CHRYSLER, FORD AND MITSUBISHI AD WHEN THESE COMPANIES HAVE FAULTY AIR BAG COMPONENTS CAUSING LIFE AND DEATH SCENARIOS THEY DO NOT LOOK AT WARRANTY DATES AND MILEAGE. I HAVE THE SORENTO THAT JUST FALLS OUT OF A RECALL QUALIFICATION BY A COUPLE MONTHS AND THEY ARE REFUSING THE REPAIR THE AIR BAG FAULT SAYING MAYBE THEY WILL COVER HALF. WELL KIA FORCES THE REPAIR TO BE A COMPLETE SEAT AS THEY DO NOT HAVE REPAIR PARTS FOR THE AIR BAG SENSOR. WHEN I WAS AT CHRYSLER CUSTOMERS WOULD CALL THE CHRYSLER HOTLINE AND CHRYSLER WOULD DO A DEDUCTIBLE COPAY ON TRANSMISSION FOR ANYWHERE BETWEEN 200-500 FOR CARS OUT OF WARRANTY BY OVER 20K AND MORE THAN A YEAR. WHEN IT CAME TO SAFETY CHRYSLER VERY RARELY EVER CHARGED A DEDUCTIBLE OR COPAY NO MATTER WHAT TIME OR MILEAGE. . . . . . .... .. GUESS AS MUCH AS I LOVE MY KIA SORENTO KIA DOES NOT CARE ABOUT ONES LIFE AND SAFETY WHERE CHRYSLER PUTS THE SAFETY AS NUMBER ONE. NOT SURE I WILL BE RECOMMENDING ANY KIA'S ANYMORE AS THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE LIFE OF THE DRIVER OR PASSENGER. SO WHEN THE AIR BAG DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY AND CAUSES A DEATH KIA WILL BE SEEN IN COURT PAYING OUT A LOT OF MONEY FOR THE DEATH THEY CAUSED. ALSO JUST FOR INFORMATION THE REPRESENTATIVE I HAVE BEEN SPEAKING WITH IS AS POLITE AS A SNAKE AND JUST PLAIN ARROGANT SAYING IT IS MY FAULT FOR THE FAILURE WHEN THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE EXACT PROBLEM BUT MY CAR PRODUCTION DATE IS OFF BY A MONTH OR TWO. THIS WILL BE TAKEN LEGAL S THE AIR BAG IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND KIA REFUSES TO ACCEPT FAULT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 KIA SORENTO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE ESC AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AND THE MASSAGE "LIMP HOME" WOULD DISPLAY BEFORE THE VEHICLE'S SPEED WOULD SUDDENLY REDUCE TO APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE FAILURE HAD OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER GRAND KIA OF DENVER CO. AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 139,000.

PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON. THE DEALER SAID THAT THE PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG SENSOR NEEDS REPLACEMENT. I HAVE BEEN READING MANY OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM WHICH COULD CAUSE THE AIR BAG MAY DEPLOY UNEXPECTEDLY OR NOT EVEN AT ALL. THE DEALER SAID MY CAR DOES NOT FALL UNDER SOME RECALL WITH THE SAME PROBLEM FOR DIFFERENT PRODUCTION DATES. THE DEALER WAS QUICK TO SAY T WOULD COST AROUND $2000.00 TO FIX THIS. CALLED KIA AND THEY SAID IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE THEY WORRY ABOUT. SCARY IT IS AN AIR BAG FAULT. I HAVE BEEN GOING BACK IN FORTH WITH DEALER AND CORPORATE FOR ASSISTANCE BUT THERE IS NO HELP AND I FOUND THIS SITE SEARCHING AND HOPE YOU CAN HELP NOT JUST ME BUT ALL THE OTHERS OUT THERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM
