Description of the problem	January 2007 we purchased a kia sedona because of the safety features for all passengers, an important feature because i transport children. In april of 2007 we were hit by a mini van in the front passenger quarter panel. The accident caused thousands of dollars of damage and no airbags deployed, which was a concern. 2016 we were in another accident while turning a corner. This time we were hit in the rear (3rd row) passenger quarter panel by a pick up. We were hit hard enough to push our van into the other lane, ending up jumping a curb & landing in the grass. No air bags deployed, which really upset me! The rear hatch looked like someone had opened it then shut it with a light pole laying across it. Our insurance company totaled the van and asked us to go and get our things out. I put towels on all the seats to keep it clean. The 3rd row seat back (where it was hit) would not move at all and i could not remove the towel from it. The frame of the van had been pushed into the seat! The curtain air bag had not deployed! I called the service department where i purchased it and the manager told me there was not a curtain air bag in my van! After searching the paperwork i received with it, i found that it was supposed to have the curtain air bag covering 2nd & 3rd row seats. I am completely confused and very upset because i normally transport a 18 month old in the 3rd row seat on passenger side! If she had been in her car seat, she would have been hurt badly. Not only because of an air bag failure but glass splinters. I got at least a dozen pieces of glass in my hands, and one took 2 days to get out! I researched to see if there were anymore complaints a out airbag failure and found several. We replaced our vehicle with another make. I sure wish that the kia sedona would have done what it was supposed to do. And i am hoping that kia corrected the issues.

What is Recall?
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?
