AIR BAGS
THE AIRBAG LIGHT IN THE DASHBOARD STAYS ON AT ALL TIMES. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THE COST TO REPAIR IS OVER $1,600. I AM GETTING IT REPAIRED, SINCE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT INCLUDE ANY INFORMATION ABOUT THE AIR BAG WARRANTY IN THE WARRANTY MANUAL. AS A SAFETY ISSUE, THIS SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE 100,000 MILE WARRANTY. *TR.. .UPDATED 07/21/15 *BF THE AIR BAG LIGHT WARNING LIGHT FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG WAS THE ISSUE. IT DID NOT MATTER IF SOMEONE WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT OR NOT, THE TYPICAL WEIGHT OF THE PASSENGER WAS 150 POUNDS. THE DEALER FIXED THE ISSUE BY REPLACING HE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT AND AIR BAG SENSOR. THE TOTAL COST OF THE REPAIR WAS $1,700. KIA PAID 1/2 OF THE COST. UPDATED 07/28/15

STRUCTURE:BODY
DRIVING ALONE ON HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 55MPH AFTER DARK. HIT A COW CAUSING APPROXIMATELY $7,000 DAMAGE TO KIA SPECTRA5 VEHICLE FRONT END BODY, BUMPER, ETC. AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. APPROXIMATELY 10 DAYS AFTER REPAIRS COMPLETED AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND COULD NOT BE RESET BY KIA SHOP. PER KIA DEALERSHIP THAT INSPECTED/ESTIMATED, PROBLEM WAS WITH SENSOR IN FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND WOULD COST MORE THAN $2,000 TO FIX (DID NOT REALIZE IT MADE THEM ALL INOPERATIVE.) RECENTLY HAD CAR IN SHOP FOR ANOTHER FRONT END INVOLVED ACCIDENT (SOMEONE ELSE RAN A RED LIGHT) CAUSING $4,000 DAMAGE AND AGAIN AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY (WAS NOT AWARE R SIDE WOULD CAUSE ALL AIRBAGS TO BE INOPERATIVE.) SHOP RECOMMENDED CHECKING FOR RECALL. APPEARS MULTIPLE PROBLEMS OF SAME SORT IN SPECTRA VEHICLES AND THAT THESE ARE SAME TYPE OF PROBLEM EXPERIENCED IN THE RIO WHICH WAS RECALLED! KIA NEEDS TO STAND BEHIND THIS VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE! *TR
