“While driving home my car jerked real hard. Then the check engine light came on, for a little bit, then it went out. So far this is the first time it has happened so far.”
NHTSA complaint #10228374, filed 2008-05, 29,000 miles“My airbag light had come on. Then when I go to gasbuddy, it states that there is a recall involving the airbag on a 2006 Kia RIO that was made from february 20th 2005 to 2007. However my VIN number shows that there is no recall on my car. I think it's more than a coincidence that there's a recall and my sensor is on. If someone is killed because of this sensor oh, I will be suing Kia, and anyone else that blatantly disregarded my complaint”
