“My airbag light has come on and I have not been in any accident and I am taking it to to the dealer. Why it should go on I don't know. There has been no reason for this issue to take place. It all happened yesterday, I put my seat belt on and started my car and the airbag light kept go on and off and now is staying on when the car is in drive.”
NHTSA complaint #10969278, filed 2017-03, 10,000 miles“Just like the recall of 07-08 Rondo models my air bag light has come on and fails to reset. I believe the recall should be extended. Light came on while car was stationary and started for a trip to the store.no photo the airbag light comes on each time the car is started. There is no airbag error code stored in the computer.”
NHTSA complaint #10959925, filed 2017-03, 103,000 miles“Nothing unordinary happened. However I believe it may have been around the time I had a new battery installed in my car. It went from one day to the next, where all of a sudden the airbag light can on and hasn't gone off since. I've had no accident, no major repair, nothing out of the ordinary. Now, I'm looking to take it to the Kia dealer, who wants to charge me $120 just to get codes and determine why the light is on. …”

NHTSA complaint #10627369, filed 2014-08, 28,000 miles“Since I purchased the car at the Kia dealership in nc - it was raining and I drover over a puddle of water, I was making a right turn in the process and all lights turned on on dash - it slowed my car down almost turned off. Airbag light turned on (still on). Car turned back on but everytime it rains - I am afraid because my car stalls and it stops depending on the amount of water. This is dangerous especially if I am on the highway. I called the Kia shop and they find nothing wrong with my car and I have to pay to get the airbag light fixed. …”
