2014 Kia Optima Airbags Problems

Your check engine light is flashing, which means your engine has a serious problem. Your car won't accelerate to normal speed and won't start when you turn the key. This needs immediate attention, as these symptoms suggest an engine or fuel system malfunction.

Airbag / SRS light came on. Took vehicle to the dealer service center for diagnostics. They found the issue is the Air Bag - Clockspring Assembly / Spiral Cable: 51K1Z01 : BODY ELECT CONCERN. With the airbag light on none of the airbags will deploy in the event of an accident. So the clock spring assembly must be replaced and is currently not under any manufacturer warranty.

Vehicle was in an accident on the highway. It rolled 3 times before landing on the roof and sliding from the highway to the grass. NONE of the airbags deployed.

SINCE PURCHASE THIS CAR HAS CONTINUED TO HAVE ENGINE ISSUES , OIL ISSUES AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND OFF. IT'S A REAL CONCERN TO ME AND SINCE THIS CONTINUES THE AIR BAG SENSORS KEEP COMING ON. THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED IN 2017 FROM DEALERSHIP. THIS STARTED OCCURRING MID JANUARY 2018 AND HAD GOTTEN PROGRESSING. THIS CANNOT BE NORMAL. I RECEIVED A RED RECALL NOTICE AND HAVE SINCE BEEN INFORMED THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON THIS 2014 KIA OPTIMA. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING TO ME ! THIS CAR OBVIOUSLY HAS SERIOUS ISSUES. THE VEHICLE IS READING THIS AS THERE ARE MESSAGES ALERTING ME ON THE DISPLAY AND THROUGH THE DIGITAL SYSTEM.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON IN MY CAR FOR AWHILE

I'M HAVING A PROBLEM WITH MY AIRBAG LIGHT STAYING ON. MY VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT THAT CAUSED THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY. I CALLED KIA TO REPAIR IT BECAUSE I'M STILL UNDER WARRANTY BUT THEY TOLD ME I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR GETTING THE PROBLEM REPAIRED. I THOUGHT IF IT HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH AIRBAGS THAT WOULD BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE THE COMPANY.

I WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 15-20 MPH IN A BACK-STREET WHEN I DROVE OVER A STEADY BUMP, WHICH CAUSED THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY. THE BUMP IN NATURE I WOULD SAY WAS NOT A ROUGH BUMP. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE CAR BACK TO DEALER AT SHAUMBURG KIA ADDRESS: 1100 E GOLF RD, SCHAUMBURG, IL 60173 PHONE:(847) 908-0502

I WAS T BONED BY A LADY IN A DODGE MINI VAN WHO RAN A STOP SIGN APPROX 30 MPH THERE WAS DAMAGE FROM THE FRONT OF MY CAR TO THE REAR WITH THE PASSANGER DOOR BEING RIPPED OFF DURING THE IMPACT. THE SIDE AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING TO ME AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED
