Airbag warning light by model year
What owners say
Sometime during the summer my airbag light came on and my car has never been in an accident since I have bought it. I have owned it for 2 years. Also there is some kind of electrical issue to where certain buttons on my steering wheel dont work properly
Air bag light turns on and off when driving. I have never been in a accident..
A few days ago my airbag lights on my dashboard turned on. When I used my obd to check for the problem, it said the driver side resistant was too high. I went in to get the car checked at a kia dealership, but was told that they would need to call and see if warranty would cover the parts, if not it'll be over $600 plus $165 for the diagnosis. This is too much for a part of a car I have no control over, and especially too early for a car that is said to be a new model. Our other cars from other makes that were purchased in 2010 and 2012 doesn't even have as much problems as I did with my 2015 kia forte in the 3 years I've had it. Another problem I have is that the car would occasionally jerk whether on a highway or streets, it doesn't happen often but it has become an everyday thing, where it would lag/hesitate when accelerating. Speed does not matter. When driving over to the dealership the car would jerk, but once the dealership drove the car they said nothing happened and didn't try to check for the problem. I instead was told that they would check if I informed them of this problem after the third visit. Over the years I had to pay out of pocket to get a leak fixed months after my purchase, my paint was coming off and warranty didn't cover it because it was used( still within 6 months after purchase) had to changed the breaks, change the tires, change the headlight and backlights, change the battery, and have noticed the lack of acceleration my car has compared to other cars. I'm to return monday to the dealership to see if warranty covers the airbag lights, but not feeling that it will.
The airbag light is on after my vehicle was bumped by another car while sitting still in my driveway. My car insurance company says that it was not caused by the accident and kia says that it will not fix it under the warranty since the vehicle was in an accident. It is a safety issue.
My airbag indicator came on so I took my vehicle to taylor kia in toledo. The service department let me know that the computer module has failed and my airbags are non-functioning. They told me that they would fix the error for $875.00. I didn't do it at the time as I was getting other work done on the vehicle. I then learned that a number of other kia vehicles have been recalled for this same type of failure. I called kia customer service (I also own a 2012 that will be under the recall). The rep told me that mine may show up, but I just needed to wait. I want to ensure that I report mine because the issue probably goes beyond the 2012.
Air bag light or indicator came on solid. No other issues. Took into kia rochester, mn and they indicate a new primary airbag module is required. Part on order. Vehicle has 30,500 miles on odometer.
