Air bag light turned on June 2025. Could not be reset. Had local shop read the code. Driver's side air bag, likely clock spring. Brought it to the dealership after a month wait for appointment. It was confirmed that it was the Clock Spring and replaced. This is not a wear part. Research shows a very common issue with other kia and hyundai makes and models of a similar age that were actively recalled.. Kia declined and will not reimburse due to not having a recall for my specific make, model, and year.

My 2010 kia forte has 62,751 miles on it and the air bag light remains on constantly when I am driving. I was parked in my carport and started the car to go to the post office to pick up my mail. The air bag light came on as usual but this time it stayed on (solid) and remains that way. I called the dealership and was told there was a recall for air bags for 2010 kia fortes but mine was not included. I am a senior citizen living alone with limited funds and have no choice, I have to drive this car and am constantly in fear of losing my life or being severely injured in the event of a crash. That alone is a major distraction while driving. This is a safety issue and I don't understand if other 2010 kia forte's were included, why mine was not. I believe my car should be included in the recall so the repair can be made by the dealership without a charge to me, which will allow me to quit living in fear and be able to drive safely.
