2014 Kia Forte Air Bags

The air bad light is on and horn dose not working currently there is a open recall on the clutch spring for the air bag but my vin say no repair

The air bag light comes on and off. Rubber Weather stripping leaking. Runs hot.

The contact owns a 2014 Kia Forte. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the air bag warning light illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or the dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 64,200.

Airbags failed to deploy after rear end collision.

At approximately 60000 miles my airbag light came on. Then it would go off. Now it just stays on. I went to the dealership and they said I would have to pay for diagnostics and any repairs. I currently have around 64000 miles. I drive it very little. Bought it used in 2017 with 19000 miles. I see that other Kia’s have their airbag light go on as well and are being recalled but not my year. I have not been in any accidents with this vehicle as well. Just seems that this diagnostic should be done for free since it’s a safety concern.

It is just airbag sign

My car was hit in an accident & my air bag light popped on but they didn’t deploy. The light is still on and that was over 2 months ago.

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.

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.

AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON. SOMETIMES GOES OFF, BUT THEN COMES ON AGAIN. NOW IT IS MOSTLY ON.

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.

DEALER WAS NOT YET ABLE TO ACTUALLY TELL ME THE ISSUE CAUSING THE AIRBAG LIGHT TO REMAIN ON. STILL A MYSTERY.

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.
