AIRBAG SENSOR CAME ON DESPITE NO ACCIDENT AND HASN'T GONE AWAY. NO DAMAGE OR HITS TO MY VEHICLE TO CAUSE ANY MALFUNCTION.

MOTOR MOUNTS ARE BROKE. I NEED TO REPLACE 3 OF THEM. THIS ISN'T NORMAL AT ALL. THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN WRECKED. THE PAINT KEEPS PEELING OFF. I REPAINTED 1 X ON AN AREA, KIA IS AWARE. I TOOK TO THEM AND THEY SAID KIA WASN'T RESPONSIBLE (BUT , I DISAGREE). I PAID OVER 30,000 FOR THIS KIA.. , BODY SHOP COULDN'T GUARANTEE DUE TO THE PAINT JOB KIA DID ON MY AUTOMOBILE. NOW THE PAINT IS PEELING ON OTHER SPOTS.

"TAKATA RECALL" MY AIR BAG LIGHT WILL NOT SHUT OFF EVEN WHEN I HAVE MY SEAT BELT BUCKLED! I'M SO WORRIED OVER THIS! IT'S MY ONLY VEHICLE THAT I DRIVE AROUND WITH MY CHILDREN IN IT! WHY ISN'T THIS BEING RECALLED!? DOESN'T MATTER OF I'M DRIVING OR IN PARK. NOTICED AROUND 75000 MILES

AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME IT SEAMS THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS ISSUE IVE ALREADY READ ABOUT 20 POSTED ON THE INTERNET. THE SAFETY ISSUE IS WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON THE AIR BAG SYSTEM IS NOT FUNCTIONAL. THE LIGHT TURNS ON WHEN I STAR THE CAR THEN GOES OF FOR 2 SECONDS AND STAYS ON ALL THE TIME UNTIL I SHUT DOWN THE CAR. IVE DONE ALL THE QUICK CHECKS LIKE LOSE CONNECTIONS TO NO AVAIL. ON LINE THE MOST COMMON PROBLEM SEAMS TO IN THE PASSENGER SIDE SENSOR MAT. I PROBLEM THAT COST AROUND $2000 TO HAVE FIXED. I FEEL THE PROBLEM IS SAFETY RELATED AND THE MANUFACTURER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS ISSUE

HEAD LIGHTS GO OUT WHEN MAKING TURNS AND JUST DRIVING AT NIGHT WHEN HEAD LIGHTS ARE ON. BEEN TO DEALER THEY SAY CAN'T FIND ISSUE. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES NOW CAME CLOSE TO HITTING CAR THIS LAST TIME.

VEHICLES CAUGHT FIRE, HAD PULLED IN THE PARKING LOT AT WORK AND SMOKE BEGAN TO COME FROM UNDER THE HOOD ON THE VEHICLE. WITHIN SECONDS FLAMES HAD ERUPTED AND FRONT END OF CAR WAS COMPLETELY ENGULFED BY THE TIME THE FIRE DEPARTMENT HAD ARRIVED. VEHICLE WAS A TOTAL LOSS.

WHEN STARTING OUT FROM A STOP THE FRONT BRAKES LOCK UP TO RELEASE THE BRAKES OR TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE THE ELECTRONIC. SKID CONTROL MUST BE SWITCHED OFF ALSO WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND IS SWITCHED OFF THE BRAKES DRAG AND THE RIMS WILL BURN YOUR HAND IF YOU HED
