2010 Kia FORTE Air Bags Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1021076
Internal NHTSA #	10550951
Manufacurer	Kia Motors Corporation
Brand	KIA
Model	FORTE
Model Year	2010
File date	20/06/13
Component	AIR BAGS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Vehicle has intermittent air bag indicator light. It has come on repeatedly over the past year. No codes have ever been found. Now that the vehicle is out of warranty the airbag light is on solid and will not go off. Kia needs to be investigated, there has been countless models of kia vehicles that have had airbag problems. Most are loose connections that vibrate loose. This is unacceptable for a safety feature. Kia dealers are charging excessive fees to clear codes and wiggle wires. $110 diagnostic fees. Only to have the lights pop up again. There should be a mandatory 5 year unlimited miles warranty on safety features on vehicles. I am now driving my car without airbags and refuse to pay kia to fix them temporarily. Something needs to be done. Do some research you will see how many people have had loose connections on air bag sensors in the past 5 years.
