Complaint for Kia Sedona 2003

Complaint about AIR BAGS

Consumer Complaint:
IN JULY 2004 A PERSON RAN A STOP SIGN, I COMPLETELY DROVE INTO HER WHOLE PASSENGERS SIDE WITH THE FRONT END OF MY 2003 KIA SEDONA. I ALSO HAD MY 2 YEAR OLD SON IN THE CAR AT THE TIME. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY WHICH WAS A CONCERN TO THE EMERGENCY PERSONNEL THAT RESPONDED TO THE SCENE. I SUSTAINED NECK INJURY THAT LATER HAD TO HAVE SURGERY TO CORRECT AND MY SON WHO WAS IN HIS SAFETY SEAT IN THE REAR ALSO SUSTAINED BURN INJURY FROM HIS SAFETY SEAT HARNESS. I CONTACTED KIA AFTER THE ACCIDENT AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO WAY TO TEST THE AIR BAGS UNLESS THEY DEPLOYED THEM. NEEDLESS TO SAY THEY WOULD NOT DO THIS. AGAIN IN AUGUST 2005 ANOTHER DRIVER RAN A STOP SIGN AND AGAIN I HIT THEM WITH FULL FRONT END TO THEIR DRIVERS SIDE. AGAIN THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY CAUSING CONCERN WITH THE EMERGENCY PERSONNEL. I STILL CONTINUE TO HAVE PAIN FROM MY 2004 ACCIDENT AND I AM STILL IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO RECOUP SOME OF MY LOSSES. (WAGES, MEDICAL, TIME WITH MY SON).I CAN'T EVEN BEGIN TO LIST THE LOSS I HAVE THAT WILL NEVER BE RECOUPED. SOMEONE NEEDS TO CHECK INTO THIS, IT SEEMS TO ME AFTER READING ALL THESE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE AIR BAGS THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG. I HAVE ALL THE POLICE REPORTS, ESTIMATES AND PICTURES. *TR
