Airbag exploded on impact with gaping holes with heavy smoke coming out with hot heat causing redness to my chest and redness to my hands and a blow to my wrist that caused fracture to my left wrist.

After owning this vehicle for a month or so, I noticed that when I turn on the vehicle the radio screen was half faded or gone. This is the screen that allows you to use the hands free device also. I took vehicle to dealers and they stated that the radio would have to be replaced. I was a bit confused as to how this could happen to a new car but... stuff happens. I really enjoy this car and have had no other issues.

The contact owns a 2013 Kia Soul. The contact stated that while driving approximately 40 mph, the check warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer for a diagnosis. The technician stated that the wiring coding was soy based and that animals were eating the wires. As a result, the wiring harness and the emission wiring needed to be replaced. The contact mentioned the same soy based coding wiring was used to remedy the defect and he was concerned that there would be a recurrence in the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred. The approximate failure and current mileage was 1,000.
