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.

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.

Problem #1. At approximately 111,000 miles my sedona's airbag light illuminated on my dash panel...and has stayed illuminated ever since. There was no accident or incident to provoke this light to illuminate. Kia of dartmouth (ma) said it's a drivers side seatbelt sensor that is "bad". Cost to repair $274.80! Why is a "bad" sensor not the responsibility of the manufacturer? It's faulty. There was no misuse or abuse by the consumer, in other words, why is there no recall on this item? Problem #2. At approximately 108,000 my sedona's TPMS light and ( ! ) lights illuminated on my dash panel...and have stayed illuminated since. The tires are inflated to manufacture's specifications so there is no chance that the tires are under or over inflated. Again, there is a "bad" sensor(s). Why isn't there a recall on these faulty sensors?

Went to auto parts store for oil filter - parked car. After filter purchase left store, tossed oil filter (fram tg9999) on passenger seat and started car; air bag light lit for the first time ever; no air bags were deployed. The vehicle (2006 sedona) has never been in an accident. The vehicle has 150052 miles on it and runs well. Contacted kia about issue to see if there was a recall for air bag issues - was informed that there was no recall and told that vehicle is out of warranty having more than 100k miles, so I would have to have this serviced by a kia dealer. Date below approx.

My 2006 kia sedona airbag light would come on and then go off after driving for a few miles or a couple days and this happened periodically on and off for a couple years. It has now stayed on for the last 4 months. Turned on the van one day and the airbag light never went off. Was sitting in my driveway on a flat surface. My van had a hundred and fifty-one thousand miles on it when the light came on and now has a hundred and fifty-three thousand miles. I bought this as a new van in 2007. It was a left over. I have had to replace the headlight bulbs and turn signal bulbs on the front over 10 times since I've owned it. This also seems to be an issue that people have stated with a 2006 kia sedona.

My airbag light has been on for months. Never had an accident of any kind. It won't go out. Looks like a common problem on these 2006 kia's. Reading online that your airbags won't work if the light is on. Not happy about that. Apparently our government is not putting any pressure on kia to do a recall on this! Can't afford the high price to get it fixed! Will sell the car instead if I have to. Just turned over 100k on it. Figures. Too bad. I really like this car.

This complaint is regarding a single-owner 2006 kia sedona. Since 2006 I have had numerous electrical related problems. Over half the buttons and knobs on the stock cd player/radio have not worked for approximately eight years. I am having to replace headlight and turn signal bulbs every few months. The airbag indicator light is illuminated and will not shut off. I have not been involved in any accidents (yet) and would expect my airbags to deploy if and when necessary. My understanding is that the airbags will not function if the indicator light is illuminated. This is a major safety concern, as this is a family vehicle and I have three small children, and I take frequent road trips due to my job. As far as I know, there are no recalls associated with the airbag or electrical/lighting system for this vehicle. Based on my research of complaints associated with this vehicle year, make, and model, recalls should be issued so affected owners may have these problems corrected at no charge and to prevent injury and or death.
