AIR BAGS
THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT CONSISTENTLY SENSE THE FRONT PASSENGER, RESULTING IN THE AIRBAG SENSOR BEING IN THE "OFF" MODE EVEN WHEN A PASSENGER IS SITTING THERE. THE VEHICLE WAS CHECKED BY A KIA DEALER, WHO SAID THE COMPUTER DID NOT NOTE ANYTHING WRONG. THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN SAID "WITH SOME KIA'S, THE SENSOR DOES NOT DETECT A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT UNLESS THEY ARE SITTING DIRECTLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SEAT." THIS CONCERNS US GREATLY, AS, IF WE ARE IN AN ACCIDENT, THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IF THE SENSOR DOES NOT REGISTER A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT. *TR

POWER TRAIN
RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (55 - 70) THE CAR WILL DOWNSHIFT VIOLENTLY WITH A SUDDEN JERK, IT WILL REMAIN IN THAT GEAR UNTIL YOU PULLOVER, TURN OFF THE CAR AND RESTART IT IN ORDER TO RESUME NORMAL DRIVING. *TR
