My airbag light is on and my horn I blowing for up to 45 minutes randomly at anytime; driving or stationary. My car is unsafe. I had my car diagnose at cobb county Kia in kennesaw, ga 30144 and the service manager, joe told me that the issue was the clock spring which Kia has recalled on several other models. The car is unsafe; the airbag does not work at all. The dealership wants $600 for a safety issue.

I have had two head on collisions with my 2013 Kia Optima, neither were major but impact was above 30mph in both cases. During both incidents neither time did airbags ever deploy. One would think airbags would have deployed in those situations, but they did not. Additionally since I purchased the car I have had electrical problems that the manufacturer could not fix. After hearing about airbags and electrical issues relating to the Kia forte and Hyundai sonatas I believe this airbag issue could be effecting a wider range of vehicles possibly including 2011 Kia sorrentos as well.

On September 28th my husband was in a accident where he turned a corner at 8mph and hit the rear end of a boat on a trailer. The whole front of the car was crunched and the car is now a total loss and was totaled. The air bags never went off and if I were in the car with my two small children this would have been a different story.

No previous problems with steering in the year vehicle was owned, was bought preowned with 25K miles on it, now with 28K miles on it. On day of accident, roads were damp, while driving on road littered with numerous pot holes and bumps, came around a corner on what seemed to be bump free pavement, steering jerked right, car veered into the grassy terrain alongside road, could not regain control of car as steering was fighting me no matter what I did, raise in terrain forced passenger side down an driver side of car into air, car came to rest near side of road on it's passenger side, also air bags did not deploy. This car is supposedly safe I believe I survived thanks to an angel above keeping me safe.

I was exiting to turn right onto the street when I looked down for a few seconds and hit the median head on. There was a big terra-cotta pot with a tree planted in it that I hit hard. It ripped the front bottom part of my car off and broke my transaxle. It wouldn't drive anymore and it totaled my car. None of the airbags ever came out even when I hit head on. I had to go to the hospital for a cscan. I ended up with a concussion for almost three months and still have a knot on my head. I was also wearing my seat belt.
