Airbag warning light by model year
What owners say
Windshield wiper on passenger's side stopped working. Windshield wiper never started working again. Also, airbag light stayed on until consumer took it to be repaired a month after consumer had the car.
I bought the kia last year and have had the brake pads/parts replaced twice. The first time the brakes became bad, the vehicle had only about 8,000 miles on it. They explained that the brakes were wearing down because I was too hard on them. I have driven a ford pickup and never had problems with the brakes until I replaced them at 35, 000 miles. Furthermore, I recently took it for an air bag light malfunction and there were two other people complaining about the brakes and apparently they had taken their kias for brake work before. One of the service personnel tried to explain to the couple that it had been 13,000 since the last brake work. The male stated that he has owns another car with no brake problems and it has about 25,000 miles on it. I feel they are using defected or cheap brake pads or something. As a matter of fact, I owned a kia sophia before trading it in for the sportage and the sophia had brake problems too.
Air bag warning light flashed on and off. In august or september of 1999, they corrected the problem. About a month afterwards, air bag light began to flash again. Problem has not been corrected. Please provide any further informtion.
Seat belt would continuously chime. The air bag light stays on after starting vehicle. Vehicle would start erratically. Door frame would leak. Convertible top did not stay closed. Vehicle would idle at 2000rpms when slowing down & almost stall out. Will be taking vehicle to dealer.
When driving at any speed and applying the brakes vehicle shakes. Also, air bag light and ABS brake light stay on, and driver's side shoulder belt doesn't work.
