| Model year | COMPONENT | Complaint |
| 2006 | AIR BAGS | PRIOR COMPLAINT FILED FOR AIRBAG LIGHT/SENSOR. MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON, WENT TO THE DEALER, THEY TRIED TO RESET THE LIGHT, IT WOULD NOT GO OFF. MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE 2006 SPORTAGE AIRBAG LIGHT & POSSIBLE FAILURE HAVE BEEN RECORDED WITH NO SAFETY RECALL, DESPITE THAT KIA RECALLED A NUMBER OF OTHER 2006 KIA MODELS FOR AIRBAG FAILURE. I DO NOT KNOW IF MY AIRBAG WILL WORK. TOLD BY DEALER THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE MY FRONT SEATS BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER FOR A COUPLE THOUSAND DOLLARS, HOWEVER, DEALER STATED THEY WOULD GUARANTEE THAT AFTER REPLACEMENT OF THE CAR SEATS THAT THE AIRBAG PROBLEM WOULD BE FIXED. NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE 2006 SPORTAGE AIRBAG PROBLEM HAVE BEEN DOCUMENTED INCLUDING ACCIDENTS WHERE THE AIRBAG HAS NOT WORKED AND PEOPLE HAVE BEEN INJURED. IF KIA CAN FIX THE AIRBAG PROBLEM IN OTHER 2006 MODELS WHY NOT THE 2006 SPORTAGE - MY SAFETY IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS THE FOLKS WITH OTHER 2006 KIA MODELS. THE DEALER WILL NOT GUARANTEE REPAIR/SAFETY. *TR |
