2001 Kia Optima Air bags Problems

“While driving the driver side airbag (in front driver seat) deployed. There was no accident or did I hit anything. There was no evident cause on why the airbag deployed. I took it to a dealership they just look at it did no diagnostic or anything and told me it was out of warranty so they can not do anything about it. I called the manufacturer they basically told me the same thing but did send in a airbag deployment case report.”

“Air bag light came on while driving & would go out repeatedly. When I called the Kia 800 number was told probably nothing. But you might want to schedule it in with your local dealer. I asked do I need to be concerned that it might deploy unexpectedly . He said probably not, if you are concerned that it might deploy you are better off not driving it. I told him I don't know anything about airbags, he repeated, if I believe there is reason to be concerned, you should probably just park it. …”

“While turning left at 3 MPH the vehicle was involved in a side impact collision. None of the four air bag deployed. The air bag light was not illuminated to provide any warning that there was a problem with the air bag. The driver was wearing the seat belt. There is a police report. Please provide any additional information.”

“When I first brought the car and drove it, the lights became dim in the inside and the headlights. The radio turned off and on, took it to dealer 4-5 times for problem and they could find nothing wrong. The car doesn't pick up spend when going over hills not even little ones. The gas needle does not read full even when the tank is practically overflowing with gas. Reading a full tank of gas happens every once in a while. Check engine light comes on . …”

“Dt: the contact stated the srs warning light stayed on. The dealership replaced the air bag module, clock spring, air bag harness campaign, air bag control unit, and titian pin plug connector for dsab. They have not been able to correct the problem.”
