2006 Kia Sportage Air bags Problems

“I was riding down the road and the airbag light came on. Two days later the check engine light came on. My mechanic thinks it is a sensor for the check engine light. Having trouble with covid-19 getting the part, been waiting for over a week. My mechanic has recommended me taking the car to a Kia dealer ship with the airbag light coming on. He though for sure it would have a recall but I do not see one listed.”

“I was driving downhill a city street and began to turn right. As I was slowly turning going about 15-20mph using the brakes, another vehicle driving approximately 25-40mph, hit mine on the front drivers side damaging from the headlight to the drivers door. My airbag did not deploy.”

“The air bag light started blinking, then stayed lit. I took my car to Kia dealer and had diagnostic. The cost was $60. They found that front seat passenger seat had an error code. I was told that the sensor for front seat would have to be replaced. When I left dealer the light for air bag was off, but came back on a week later. Air bag light is still on.”

“My air bag came on around june of 2014 and now remains on. I am told by my mechanic it is the air bag impact sensor switch #95930 2e000. The replacement part is $268.15 with a $39.00 removal and replacement fee. The diagnostics is $32.50. If this part is faulty as indicated in my web search, why am I paying out of pocket to a faulty safety switch? Where is/are the recall letter(s)?”

“I hit the side of a car I didn't see while pulling out of a car park onto the road, so I was moving slowly forward. A car had appeared from behind 2 turning cars and I hit the side of it. Neither the air bag or the seat belt in my car stopped my head from making contact with the windshield. I was very shaken at the time as anyone would be. The following day I needed to rest, and 2 days later went to er where I had a scan and was diagnosed with a concussion. Over 2 weeks later, I am much better but not yet fully recovered. …”
