Description of the problem	2004 kia sorento. Rollover. Kia says that the air bags are turned off in a roll over not when hit on the side! What good are they than? This information is not given when the kias are purchased.... Research needs to be done for how often it occurs and that there may be more rollovers than side impatcts, why they rollover soo many times, and that there are many complaints for other kias that the airbags have not deployed in crashes. Consequences were that the driver died this time due to the air bags did not deploy! There was only one person the driver in the kia, the crash was when the vehicle hit the rock and than the ground 15 times.
