“The ESC and the ABS light came on and know the break lights don't work and it keeps blowing my head lights the air bag is on and they stay on. This happens when you put it in gear and they stay on the whole time the auto is on. At frist it did every once in a while but know it stays on and my brake lights doesn't work.”
NHTSA complaint #10874158, filed 2016-06, 149,000 miles“My air bag light came on, and has stayed on ever since. The dealer wants $100.00 to check why the light is on. I told them Kia should check it for free, because it is a safety issue. They told me Kia won't do this. I don't think they care enough about their customers. I am sure they will care, when someone with this issue, gets into an accident, and their air bags do not deploy.”
NHTSA complaint #10703587, filed 2015-04, 40,000 miles“Side sliding door opens while car is in drive. Luckily I was able to pull over and push it closed, but it scares me when I'm driving and my son is in his car seat and the door chime will go off because the door is opening. This needs to be fixed asap. Air bag light is on quite often and had to take to mechanic to see what was wrong.”
NHTSA complaint #10588388, filed 2014-05, 103,000 miles“The airbag light is illuminated and won't go off. I see that this is an ongoing problem with a multitude of 2006 Kia Sedona owners. I am told that this shuts the whole airbag system off until it is corrected and is very expensive to have fixed. As with many others, my young children ride in this car and I don't feel safe. This should be a recall. Please help us. Thank you.”

Saw a show last night about the takata air bags exploding not at all sure how long it has been this way so the date below is not accurate it has been a couple years I think.
