| Manufacurer | Kia Motors America |

| Model | CADENZA |
| Model Year | 2014 |
| File date | 26/08/14 |
| Component | AIR BAGS |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | The 2014 cadenza does not offers a height seat adjustment for the front passenger so it is almost impossible for my wife to get it and out. I called kia and i was told that they were not able to fix the problem unless i get the 2015 model. So i bought a seat cushion to increase the height . The problem now is that the " off warning light" for the air bags does not activate to on when you seat, which means that if there's is an accident, those bags will not deploy and could lead to catastrophic injuries. Kia states that problem will not be able to be fixed. Many cadenza owners are complaining about this problem. |
