Spectra

  • miles
There were no accidents leading up to a failure. The airbag light in my 2008 Kia Spectra ex suddenly came on. After taking it in to a dealer, I was notified that the entire bottom portion of the seat needed to be replaced. The car could not tell if there was a person in the passenger seat. This deactivated the entire airbag system. Several other complaints are here: This does not seem to be an isolated issue, and should be addressed by Kia.
