What owners say
Truck stopped at stop sign raining at the time 1304 pm got on brakes to slow down and stop and rain wet roads made the car slide into the trailer hitch of the tall 4x4 truck air bags did not go off on the rio car hit center on the front bumper over $3,000.00 in damage to car done to truck and no bags set off seems like a big things if the bags did not get set off.
My mom was killed in a car accident on 8/24/09 in a 2007 kia rio. She was hit broadside from a gmc yukon and the side impact air bags did not go off. She died from injuries from the neck, she had no injuries from the shoulders down!!!
Fell asleep driving 2007 kia rio on the interstate to army reserve training (traveling 65 MPH). Car hit - head on - the upcoming end of a guard rail which drove the radiator back into the engine. Neither fender got damaged. Had seat belt on and hit head on steering wheel; cut head; concussion; dislocated part of hand. The airbag did not deploy. Unconscious for over an hour. The highway patrol was concerned that the airbag did not deploy but the guy rebuilding the car (3 hours from us; $7000 worth of damage) says it didn't necessarily need to deploy because there are only 2 censors and both censors must trigger to deploy. However local mechanic says there are 4 censors and any one of them will deploy the airbag. Have bumper to bumper warranty on the car from the dealer where bought it used.
On october 8, 2008. I was involved in a major four car accident. However, my airbags never deployed in my vehicle. My car will not be repairable it will be a total loss vehicle. It was a 2007 kia rio, and nothing has been done to fix this problem.

- What is wrong
- Kia is recalling certain model year 2006-2008 rio vehicles, manufactured from february 20, 2005, through december 9, 2007. The front passenger seat occupant sensor mat can experience fatigue cracking. If sufficient cracking occurs, the occupant classification system (ocs) will cease to function such that the system will not be able to detect whether a child passenger is in the seat and the airbag will deploy during a crash necessitating deployment.
- Risk
- Air bag deployment with a child in the front passenger side seat increases the risk of injury to that child.
- Remedy
- Kia will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ocs seat sensor mat, free of charge. The recall began on july 26, 2012. Owners may contact kia consumer assistance center at 1‑800‑333‑4542.
