“My air bag indicator light came on and does not reset. The passenger side air bag light in not showing the passenger air bag is off. According to the vehicles manuel this we may have a passenger air bag deploy when it should be off and the drivers side air bag will not deploy when it should. This is a very serious problem and during my research found at least 50+ Kia owners with this problem. Please check this out and have Kia repair these vehicles under a recall notice. I believe my warranty is still valid but not sure Kia will fix this without prodding. …”
NHTSA complaint #11003815, filed 2017-07, 39,705 miles“Air bag light is on and wont go off. It used to come on occasionally but it just started to be on constantly recently. Also the passenger air bag is stuck on. Its supposed to light up off when no one is seated. Now the seat belt light flashes as if someone is seated there. This is ridiculous. This is a huge safety risk.”
NHTSA complaint #11020003, filed 2017-08, 65,000 miles“The air bag light is on and stays on. It use to only come on every once and a while but now stays on all the time. Also the passenger air bag indicator light is not working correctly. The passenger seat belt light flashes when there is no one in the seat.”
NHTSA complaint #11165151, filed 2019-01, 56,000 miles“I was driving at approximately 20-25 mph when both side curtain airbags deployed. There was no collision or sudden stops. There were no warning lights or symptoms before or after the incident. My battery had been replaced at a local shop 4-5 hours prior to the incident. My child was in the car in her car seat and appears to have no apparent issues following the event. The hearing in my left ear is deteriorated and I have a ringing sound and it makes a distortion sound when the noise levels reach a certain level.”
NHTSA complaint #11603531, filed 2024-07“2015 Kia Sedona driver's side airbag light is on intermittently. Dealer states airbag under seat is malfunctioning and cost to replace is greater than $1000. Vehicle has not been involved in an accident and this is original equipment. This is a safety risk because the airbag may not function properly in the event of a crash.”
