Issue ID	883809
Internal NHTSA #	10427189
Manufacurer	KIA MOTORS CORPORATION
Brand	KIA
Model	SPECTRA5
Model Year	2006
File date	01/02/10
Component	AIR BAGS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Without any real reason when the car is started with a passenger or driver, either one may display that the air bags are not engaged (possible electrical issue) while driving at any speed. It is not predictable. This means that the airbags are not operational. This started shortly after the transmission was replaced by a dealer. The dealers claim that it is not related but does not know what the cause is. They do not guarantee that they can fix it. They will charge for the attempt to fix it but will not guarantee that they will succeed. We assume it is an electrical issue... Possibly that contacts are worn out. If that is the case, it should be happening to other spectra owners and is a serious safety issue for these owners.
