My son & his friend were hit on the passenger side by a young man who intentionally ran a red light. He hid my son so hard that our 2009 kia rondo flipped 3 times and not one of the driver side airbags deployed. They did deploy on the passenger side only. The car has since been destroyed by the insurance company, however I still have pictures. I think this should be checked in other rondos so no one else has to endure what my son who was driving did. As you can see from the picture that although the passenger air bags deployed, the steering wheel in in tact and none of the driver side air bags deployed. Seems impossible since the car flipped over 3 times. He was driving on a city street.

My airbag light has come on and I have not been in any accident and I am taking it to to the dealer. Why it should go on I don't know. There has been no reason for this issue to take place. It all happened yesterday, I put my seat belt on and started my car and the airbag light kept go on and off and now is staying on when the car is in drive.

Just like the recall of 07-08 rondo models my air bag light has come on and fails to reset. I believe the recall should be extended. Light came on while car was stationary and started for a trip to the store.no photo the airbag light comes on each time the car is started. There is no airbag error code stored in the computer.

Since I purchased the car at the kia dealership in nc - it was raining and I drover over a puddle of water, I was making a right turn in the process and all lights turned on on dash - it slowed my car down almost turned off. Airbag light turned on (still on). Car turned back on but everytime it rains - I am afraid because my car stalls and it stops depending on the amount of water. This is dangerous especially if I am on the highway. I called the kia shop and they find nothing wrong with my car and I have to pay to get the airbag light fixed. I don't think I should pay for something that I did not break. Since I have had my car - it has done the above at least 4 times and the airbag light is still on.

When I brake the car in the high speed(maybe 40 miles and more in highway), the steering wheel is shaking, and I need to handle it very hard. And this situation is more serious in highway. And the airbag light is always on when I am driving.

This 2009 kia rondo has had three air bag related problems. 1.the front passenger seat was replaced at $1700 because a sensor caused the air bag light to display. 2.the steering wheel air bag unit was replaced at $900 because again the air bag light was on. 3.the same day that the steering wheel air bag unit was replaced the air bag light again displayed and this time the clock spring was replaced at no charge. These air bag problems raise serious concerns about the safety of kia vehicles.

Air bag light has illuminated and won't go off. Which may result in possible failure in a crash.
