About four years ago upon purchase of vehicle owner began having problems with the air bag light coming on. The dealership hooked up an instrument to the vehicle and the light would go off. Then it would come back on, and is on at this time. The dealer reports that the air bag light sensor needs to be replaced. The dealership will fix if it owner pays. Owner does not feel she should pay since this problem has been occurring ever since the purchase of vehicle. The vehicle has been in accident in a few years ago, but the air bags did not deploy.

I was involved in a crash on Nov 02. I was broadsided by a truck (F150 type veh.) in an intersection. As a result, my roof bowed and the entire drivers side from wheel well to wheel well was caved in like a half moon. The frame was pinned up against the drivers seat. The seat belt did not lock but released me and none of the air bags deployed. I suffered back and neck injury and was transported by amubulance to a nearby hospital. The vehicle was in storage. I contacted the manufacturer numerous times as did my attorney. All we received was the run-around for approx. Six months. No return calls, excuses, unable to get a release to have a Kia auditor look at the car, etc. My insurance company and my attorney sent them the release twice and still no response. Consequently, I deployed overseas (military) and upon my return found that the car had been disposed of (destroyed). I still suffer from my injuries and my attorney is still handling my case.
