This is the second time that the air bags have not gone off in a crash on this car the first crash was at 55 mph head on and they didnt go off and the sensors were hit and damaged. today the car was in another head on crash with injury to the driver and the air bags failed to deploy again this is a major concern as to my wife and i could have been killed due to faulty air bags . in both crashes the vechile was in motion.i will be taken pictures of the car tomorrow. someone could have died in this crash.
My kia soul was manufactured 11/16 & has 8,643 miles on it as 10/8/19. i started my car the morning of 10/719 & the air bag and electronic stability control indicator lights went on and will not go off. this morning the passenger's seat belt light was flashing also. are there any recalls on these items for my vehicle?
Takata recall my airbags never deployed, the brakes never took effect to make me slide skid or stop. seatbeat never held me back from slamming into steering wheel.
I was in a head on collision wearing my seat belt and hit my head on the sun visor and edge of windshield. basically scalping me. the air bag deployed yes but after i was bleeding and reaching to undo my seatbelt. hitting my hand which broke my wrist having to have surgery to put a plate and pins in it. also hitting me in the chest so hard it knocke the breath out of me. it was smoking really bad too like it was going to catch fire.
