Problems with 2014 Kia Forte AIR BAGS

Airbag light on dashboard came on and randomly comes on and off. sometimes when i just start it it will come on and then go off. called dealership to ask if any recalls about the issue and they said none. scared that airbag might go off randomly or not work at all. read that other years have had same issue and they have been recalled. never been in accident second owner of vehicle. had vehicle for 3 years now and get it serviced regularly.

While driving down the street, heard a rasping noise coming from the steering wheel and then noticed the air bag light came on and stayed on.

The airbag light turns on and off intermittently, usually turning on after starting the car and reaching speeds above 15mph. if i stay around 20mph or below, it will turn off, but if i increase speed it will turn back on. if i stop, turn, or slow down, the light may turn on or off; it is random. the car was not involved in an accident when the issue with started. it appears there has been a recall for similar issues for the 2010-2013 kia forte. the 2014 should be included as well.

2014 kia forte: vehicle will be stationary, in motion, or turning and the airbag light will turn on and off randomly, it has been staying on in the past few days. dealership stated "airbag needs replacing, because in an accident airbag will not deploy" this car is only 5 years old with one owner less than 75,000 miles on it. something is not right with how the airbag was installed by kia manufactures.

I bought my car in 2013, had it less than 6 years. the airbag light is on and remains on, the car was not in a car accident when the air bag light came on. the air bag light at first came on and then will disappear a couple times but now has remained on. i took it to the dealership and there is a short circuit in the airbag control unit. there is a recall for this issue but it is for 2010-2013 kia forte. i believe my car should be included in this recall.

So as i'm driving, the airbag indicator light comes on. it's steady one minute and then it will go off and then it will come back on. i have never been in any kind of accident for it to do this. it came out of no where.

Last week my air bag indicator light started coming on. my car has not been involved in any crash for a crash repair to be a factor. i was driving when the light first came on. the light does go off when it wants to. i have tried resetting the car by disconnecting the battery for a few minutes, this did not help. i am very scared that the air bags could deploy at any given moment. today my traction control light illuminated and would only go off if i restarted the car but less than a mile the light came back on. and because this light was on my cruise control would not set.

Takata recall. i was involved in a front end collision accident on 6/18/2018 (due to someone running a red light) it caused extensive damage to my vehicle of approximately 4500.00 .. the airbag never deployed. a major concern for me. when i asked both the repair shop and my insurance company as to why the airbag never deployed. the only thing i was told was. "you should be thankful because had it deployed we would have totalled the car!' this does not help with my feeling secure o. my vehicle or help with my anxiety. and definitely does not a answer my questions..

On saturday march 26th, 2018 i wss driving north bound on i471 in kentucky. doing about 50-55 mph while it was snowing/sleeting outside. as i was traveling another vehicle swerved over to get in exit lane while at same time on a right turn around exit lane. once car did so, i had to press hard, slam on my brakes to avoid being clipped by other vehicle. as i did this i began to spin nor, the esc or traction control took over and i spun out of control striking guard rail at unknown speed. i was uninjured, however as u can see lots of damage to front and driver side airbag did not deploy. i contacted kia right away do to the recent recalling brake stop pedal. i took pictures they required andcs3nt them as, too they were concerned of non airbag deployment. they determined via an engineer with in their dept. just by looking at photo's that airbag should not have deployed. so, my issue with this is they are making a determination by not physically having vehicle damage to make assumption airbags never deployed. upon looking at other complaints on here about the same time as mine. this maybe a concern going forward. i have given said automaker to help with repairs from accident. and they seem to trying to avoid these problems with said vehicle.
