I was driving at approximately 20-25 mph when both side curtain airbags deployed. There was no collision or sudden stops. There were no warning lights or symptoms before or after the incident. My battery had been replaced at a local shop 4-5 hours prior to the incident. My child was in the car in her car seat and appears to have no apparent issues following the event. The hearing in my left ear is deteriorated and I have a ringing sound and it makes a distortion sound when the noise levels reach a certain level.

What 2015 Kia Sedona owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
I have a 2015 season kia. I have a security problem. the passenger seat does not see a person, the sensor is faulty.
In December 2021, I reported an issue with the driver-side airbag light being on that has yet to be addressed even after working with KIA customer service. In January 2022, the PASSENGER side airbag light is blinking. This has been reported to KIA as well.
2015 Kia Sedona driver's side airbag light is on intermittently. Dealer states airbag under seat is malfunctioning and cost to replace is greater than $1000. Vehicle has not been involved in an accident and this is original equipment. This is a safety risk because the airbag may not function properly in the event of a crash.
Front passenger seat occupant light does not go out now with adult on seat.followed steps in owners manual, didnt reset so no front pass, airbag
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 kia sedona. The contact stated that the air bag indicator illuminated and the air bags were disabled from a sensor located under the front passenger seat. Kia of south austin (5306 s ih 35 frontage rd, austin, tx 78745, (512) 444-6635) quoted that the repair would cost over $1,000 and the vehicle was not included in a recall. The manufacturer agreed to split the repair cost. The manufacturer paid for the parts and the contact paid for the labor. The contact received a recall notice for the federal safety agency campaign number: 19v109000 (electrical system) that offered reimbursement for previous repairs. The dealer stated that the part was fine and no repairs were needed. The contact submitted a request for reimbursement, but was denied six weeks later. The failure mileage was 71,718.
The air bag light is on and stays on. It use to only come on every once and a while but now stays on all the time. Also the passenger air bag indicator light is not working correctly. The passenger seat belt light flashes when there is no one in the seat.
Airbag light is staying on. It has not been in an accident.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 kia sedona. After purchasing the vehicle, the contact noticed that three of the tires were faulty and the air bags were disabled. While driving 70 MPH, the vehicle vibrated and shook. The contact called the dealer from where the vehicle was purchased and was informed that the collision light burned out. The dealer advised the contact to take the vehicle to a kia dealer and they would repair it for free. The vehicle was taken to hudson kia (36 water st, jersey city, nj 07305, (201) 380-1220) where it was diagnosed that the air bags were disabled because of the sensor that needed to be replaced. The dealer further stated that the front driver side tire and both rear tires were faulty and the belt was separating from the tires. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failures. The tire information was unknown. The failure mileage was 64,073.
Air bag light is on and wont go off. It used to come on occasionally but it just started to be on constantly recently. Also the passenger air bag is stuck on. Its supposed to light up off when no one is seated. Now the seat belt light flashes as if someone is seated there. This is ridiculous. This is a huge safety risk.
