Wcs error . Airbag system issue .kia recalled 2015 but doesnt bother on earlier cars.sometimes car doesnt start many have this issues it has to do with immobilizer wires .and brakes with rotors are bad every 2 years breaks and rotors get killed .my car has only 56856 mls
Airbag light is on, tried several times to have it reset but it wont go away took to get a diagnostic test and they keep saying that they cant pinpoint the problem, trying to charge me $1500-2000 to find and fix..
The air bag light is on and has been on for almost a week. I was told my car wasn't under the recall so now I have to pay for the repair myself.
Air bag alert triggered. Was verified by kia services department. Recommendation to change would cost $ 2000.
Just on and want go off?
After responding to tps code and eventually r/r tps, battery, and alternator, the air bags light remain on. The vehicleaning has not been in any accident.
After 100,000 miles, the airbag lights turned on and have remained on since then. Around the same time, the TPMS lights also turned on and have remained on. My car has not been in any accidents where the airbags were deployed and it was stationary before the sensor turned on. My car was parked in my driveway like any other day when the problem appeared. This is a safety hazard since the airbags will not deploy if I were to get into any accidents due to the sensor being nonfunctional with the light remaining on. I do not know if this is a problem due to the sensor being faulty, airbags being faulty or manufacturing issues. I believe this is a problem that should be fixed and a recall should be implemented to avoid any serious injuries.
After a few years of owning the van my battery died. I replaced the battery but because of the low battery voltage it caused the airbag light to illuminate [code: "b1102-ub (vb ?) low voltage (<8v)"]. When the is light on none of the airbags will function in an accident. Even though there is nothing wrong with the system, the light can only be shut off (and thus make the airbags functional) by clearing the code with a special reader that only the dealerships appear to have. The dealership will only do this if you pay $280. This is outrageous, there's no reason the airbag system shouldn't function after the code has been resolved. I feel like this is extortion from kia. The federal government mandates that cars have to have airbags you would expect that they would be required to work if there is nothing wrong with the system.
Airbag light came on and lookes like the sterring wheel airbag almost came out.
