Owner Complaints (2)
Your 2019 Kia Sedona was involved in a two-vehicle collision at low speed (20 MPH) when rear-ended and pushed into another vehicle ahead. The driver-side and passenger-side airbags did not deploy during the impact, even though a collision occurred. The vehicle had approximately 75,000 miles at the time. A mechanic will need to inspect the airbag system's sensors, wiring, and control module to determine why the airbags failed to activate.

Your side impact airbag failed to deploy during a high-speed crash where another vehicle hit your van on the driver's side, resulting in a head injury to the driver. The impact was severe enough to displace the engine. This raises serious concerns about whether the airbag system properly detected the collision and triggered deployment.
