The contact owns a 2011 Kia Forte. While the vehicle was stationary, the contact noticed that the rear passenger side and middle seat belts failed to retract and/or latch when prompted. Upon several attempts to extend the rear passenger side and middle seat belts for latching purposes, the seat belts made a loud clunking noise that sounded from the rear buckle assembly. In addition, the air bag indicator illuminated without warning. Rosen Kia milwaukee (5505 South 27th street, milwaukee, Wisconsin 53221, (414) 282-9300) was made aware of the seat belt failures and stated that the warranty coverage had expired. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

I received a safety recall for my Kia Forte 2011 for the seatbelts and airbags. I do not wish to put my safety at risk. I have to drive to work everyday and have been unable to use my car. I really wish Kia would give me a rental car. With my Kia, I have noticed that I put my seatbelt on and suddenly it becomes unbuckled as if it was released. This happened often before I became aware of the recall. This happened when the car was stationary after I turned it on. I do not wish to be in an accident and then the seatbelt and/or airbag don't work. Please something has to be done. I have been waiting almost 60 days waiting for a remedy. Kia doesn't want to help in other ways! I need a rental car that is the least they can do!

Front passenger seat belts click as though they are connected properly, but the buckle does not stay connected and disconnects during normal use, stationary, in motion, turning or going straight.

In a multi hit car accident, initial 30 mph front end, then 20 mph rear hit. Seat belts did not lock, airbag did not deploy.

I was hit from behind in my 2011 Kia Forte at 70 mph while I was at a complete stop. My brakes did not work at all for me to stop on the road before I was pushed into an 8ft deep ditch, into big branches and my car then bounced through a huge field. My air bags did not deploy as they should have, the front of my car is dented in from the impact of the ditch and then the seatbeat did not lock up, it threw me into the steering wheel. I am very unhappy about this. This is the 3rd time I have personally heard about the airbags not deploying in a Kia and the seat belt not locking up.
