Brought my car to kia dealership upon re-call 6/2012 to replace clock spring assembly. 12/28/2015 - brought car to same kia dealership and found that the clock spring assembly had to be replaced again since the air bag light continues to stay on. Called kia same day to let them know that the assembly had to be replaced and that they should be responsible for payment. They stated that it was not under warranty and since the dealership replaced the original assembly during the re-call, I would have to pay the cost for the defective assembly that was replaced during re-call with the newly installed assembly on 12/29/2015. I believe it is the kia corporations responsibility to absorb payment for the defective clock spring assembly that controls deployment of the driver side air bag. I will have to pay $271.00 plus tax in order for the dealership to release my car. I should be reimbursed by kia corp for the defective part and labor that was needed to replace the assembly. Interesting, they wouldn't allow me to take their survey to rate their service! Will also take this matter to the better business bureau!

Takata recall. I don't know enough about vehicle airbags to know if my problem is part of the takata recall. However, I've learned that kia did issue a recall for an airbag problem with the rondo (# sc094). Unaware of this recall, I brought my kia to the kia dealer when my airbag light illuminated. It's possible that the date was prior to the kia recall. The kia dealer told me that I must pay out of pocket for any investigation of the cause of the airbag light illuminating due to the expiration of the 60,000 mile warranty on the vehicle. To this day, the airbag light is still illuminated. I'm not certain of the exact date that I notified the kia dealer.

While driving my car the air bag light came on and the passenger side of the car where the other air bag light car flashing. I took the car into the dealer and was told that the airbag censor in the seat track needed to be replaced. Due to this problem none of my air bags work. I am concerned since they have had one recall on their airbags that this is something that should further be checked into.

I was involved in 2 separate vehicle collisions in my 2008 kia rondo on 2 separate occasions. I was sitting in the stopped vehicle when another vehicle crashed into the passenger's side door/rear of the vehicle. The second vehicle was traveling at an unknown speed upon impact. The air bags failed to deploy on both occasions. As a result, I sustained neck and back injuries. The vehicle was drivable and not towed, but driven to a dealer/private mechanic. The failure could not be replicated. The air bags were not repaired or recalled at time of either incident/accident. The air bag light illuminated after first accident and was on at time of second accident. The dealer/manufacturer was contacted about this issue and I was advised there was no air bag recall at this time. The vehicle was repaired for structural damages caused by the accident. The vehicle was turned into the dealer/private mechanic. Physical therapy was obtained through the accident claims.
