2006 KIA RIO Air Bags Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1036896
Internal NHTSA #	10562360
Manufacurer	Kia Motors Corporation
Brand	KIA
Model	RIO
Model Year	2006
File date	05/11/13
Component	AIR BAGS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	I was driving approximately 60 mph and another vehicle merged into my lane. I was unable to avoid the vehicle but turned to the right and hit their rear end with my front passenger side. I was wearing my seatbelt but my face hit the steering wheel and my knee jammed under the wheel. The impact knocked my car into neutral but no air bags deployed. The emts who responded to the accident were very surprised the air bags did not deploy and said they thought they should have. The car was bought new from the dealership in 2007 and had never been wrecked, so i don't see any reason why the air bags should have been defective.

A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
