2008 Kia Rondo Air bags Problems

“I was broadsided on the passenger side at a busy intersection. The air bag cover on the passenger side popped off and hit me (the driver) in the head. The air bags on the front and back passenger's side fell out but did not deploy. The driver's side did not deploy at all. The air bags were less than worthless, they were a dangerous flying object.”

“While driving my car the air bag light came on and the passenger side of the car where the other air bag light car flashing. I took the car into the dealer and was told that the airbag censor in the seat track needed to be replaced. Due to this problem none of my air bags work. I am concerned since they have had one recall on their airbags that this is something that should further be checked into.”

“Takata recall. I don't know enough about vehicle airbags to know if my problem is part of the takata recall. However, I've learned that Kia did issue a recall for an airbag problem with the Rondo (# sc094). Unaware of this recall, I brought my Kia to the Kia dealer when my airbag light illuminated. It's possible that the date was prior to the Kia recall. The Kia dealer told me that I must pay out of pocket for any investigation of the cause of the airbag light illuminating due to the expiration of the 60,000 mile warranty on the vehicle. To this day, the airbag light is still illuminated. …”

“I was involved in 2 separate vehicle collisions in my 2008 Kia Rondo on 2 separate occasions. I was sitting in the stopped vehicle when another vehicle crashed into the passenger's side door/rear of the vehicle. The second vehicle was traveling at an unknown speed upon impact. The air bags failed to deploy on both occasions. As a result, I sustained neck and back injuries. The vehicle was drivable and not towed, but driven to a dealer/private mechanic. The failure could not be replicated. The air bags were not repaired or recalled at time of either incident/accident. …”

“Air bag light on dash came on. Passenger air bag light not working. Passenger seat belt warning came on when driving even though no one sitting in seat. Dealer said it was a problem with seat at first. Replaced seat but still problem. Turned out to be module under dash. Cost almost $1000 for module.”
