2013 Kia Optima Air bags Problems

“I have owned my vehicle for 3 years. My airbag sensor light has come on fir I the 2nd time. I spoke with the manufacturer and they are showing no desire to look into the problem without the being a sizable expense to myself. Also my back up camera is showing signs of connection issues. Both I feel are a ssfety concern of driving the vehicle.”

“Takata recall - we called dealer ball Kia in national city, ca & were told that we would receive a letter. For us to call back then & that we had to continue to operate an un-safe vehicle until the letter arrived and a appointment could be made. This car could kill us upon impact!!! Please, there has to be a better & safer solution.”

“Takata recall my airbag light came on about a week ago while I was driving down the road going at 50 MPH and hasn't went off yet. I haven't been in any sort of accident whatsoever. Just casually driving down the road (may have hit a pothole or anything that caused it to come on) so I was checking to see if maybe there was a recall.”

“On september 28th my husband was in a accident where he turned a corner at 8mph and hit the rear end of a boat on a trailer. The whole front of the car was crunched and the car is now a total loss and was totaled. The air bags never went off and if I were in the car with my two small children this would have been a different story.”

“2 days after my warranty expired a light appeared on my dash and my horn stopped working, Kia said it was an airbag light. I was quoted over $600 to replace a clock spring. I took it to a mechanic who put in a clock spring, it fixed the horn but it would cost more to replkace a sensor or airbag which ever would be needed once they dug into it. I couldn't afford the extra cost so it still appears on my dash.”
