I was involved in a front end collision, my air bags didn't deploy and I was injured and will have effects of this for life. Kia Consumer Affairs were contacted and responded to the complaint. They did a investigation on why the airbags didn't deploy now they will not return calls or give any information on findings. I'm a 23yr. Old single mother who is disabled with knee and back injuries. Please contact me.

Air bag light keeps coming on after vehicle has been started and would remain on. Had taken to dealership and was informed by mechanic the air bag module was defective. Would need to be replaced. Dealer would have to order parts for repairs.
