I noticed my rear seatbelt had a severe tear. I took the vehicle to a certified lia dealership to have the damage assessed. The technician explained that due to seatbelts being extremely durable, this was the cause of a defective seatbelt retractor. Once the seatbelt tore, the airbag light came on and locked the seatbelt in place. The seatbelt is unable to be used. Any passenger would be injured or potentially face death.

Multiple seatbelt latch failures causing the belts to not properly latch. Both front seatbelts have failed, and I have 5 belts in back that I don't think I can trust to work properly. Major safety issue. Even when my vehicle was under warranty they wouldn't cover the cost to fix.

I've had my 2013 kia sorento for just over 3 years. I was in a one car accident and my seatbelt didn't retract and my airbag didn't deploy. I broke my sternum and have back problems. The problems I've had with my sorento are replacing headlights, I had to get a new battery and brakes after one year. My airbag light doesn't go off right away. Before my accident it was in the shop because my airbag light stayed on. Now I have no power all my lights stopped working. When I put the truck in drive and turn it off, I can't take the key out I have to put it back in park again. My sorento was shaking and making noise when the ligjts stopped working. I have no temp gage at all.
