Soul 4-cyl

  • 24,500 miles
I was thrown against the drivers door (yes seat belt was properly on) and suffered a tbi as well as extreme bruising along the entire left side of my body why didn't the side curtain airbags deploy?. I was rear-ended and the right rear tire was where the passenger seat used to be.. also the drivers seat broke in the prone position on impact as I was spinning across two opposing lanes of traffic.

Soul

  • 3,000 miles
The contact owns a 2011 Kia Soul. The contact stated both rear seats failed to latch properly in a secure upright position. The latch would function correctly when intense force was applied by using an object. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer and repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 3,000.
