2015 Kia Sorento Air Bags

Turned the steering wheel to the right, and the airbag warning light came on. It’s a safety issue that needs to be addressed. If I’m ever in an accident will it deploy? This is ridiculous. Waiting to get an appointment with the dealership.

I have the airbag and check engine light on and the code SC212

2015 Kia Sorento - Airbag light came on. Mechanic diagnosed as a faulty clock spring assembly. Checked Carfax for recalls and nothing came up with his error code, however, there IS a recall for 2011-2015 Sorento Airbag Clock Spring Assembly. The same repair, but not coming up for my VIN #. Cost of repair is $$$$ out of pocket.

The contact owns a 2015 Kia Sorento. The contact stated that the air bag warning light illuminated, and the front passenger's side air bag was turned off. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

Air bag light stays on now…

My airbag came on in my 2015 KIA. It is a tension airbag, I believe. It won't go off. There are recalls in every other year but 2015. It is the same recall as the other years.

Since the beginning of November, 2021, without incidence or prior warning, the airbag warning light came on when the vehicle is started and stays on the entire time the vehicle is on. The vehicle was brought to a KIA dealership on November 18th to diagnose the issue under extended 15 year warranty for two airbag recalls (one for clock spring and the other for ODS sensor). The diagnosis determined that the clock spring and ODS sensor were not causing the warning light to remain on, and the cause was a airbag code B1473, Driver Curtain Airbag Circuit Resistance High, and the dealership stated that it needed a driver side curtain airbag, estimated at $1,800.00, and not covered by warranty. Since this condition results in the airbag warning light to remain lit while the car is on and running, this causes a safety issue in that the driver does not know if the airbag will deploy if needed. Further, there is no way the driver would know if another airbag fault, for example, a front airbag issue, occurs, because the airbag light is already on. This condition poses a serious safety concern and should be addressed by the manufacturer.

AIRBAG SYMBOL LIGHT STAYS ON

WE WERE TRAVELING 64 MPH ON INTERSTATE 75 SOUTH (IT WAS RAINING HARD), WHEN WE WERE HIT FROM BEHIND AT 75-78 MILES PER HOUR BY AN F150 TRUCK. OUR AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY WHICH CAUSED US TO HIT THE STEERING WHEEL AND DASHBOARD. AT THE RATE OF SPEED WE WERE HIT, THE BAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. OUR SORENTO HAD OVER $9,000 IN DAMAGE TO THE REAR. THE BAGS ARE A MALFUNCTION, AS FAR AS WE ARE CONCERNED.

I AM A SHORT ADULT. BECAUSE THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT DOES NOT ADJUST UP OR DOWN, I NEED TO PUT A PILLOW BETWEEN ME AND THE SEAT TO RAISE ME HIGHER. WHEN I DO THIS, THE AIR BAG WILL NOT ENGAGE.
