| Description of the problem | I've had my 2013 kia sorento for just over 3 years. I was in a one car accident and my seatbelt didn't retract and my airbag didn't deploy. I broke my sternum and have back problems. The problems i've had with my sorento are replacing headlights, i had to get a new battery and brakes after one year. My airbag light doesn't go off right away. Before my accident it was in the shop because my airbag light stayed on. Now i have no power all my lights stopped working. When i put the truck in drive and turn it off, i can't take the key out i have to put it back in park again. My sorento was shaking and making noise when the ligjts stopped working. I have no temp gage at all. |
