What owners wrote
On april 23 2005 the front end of my 2003 kia sedona hit a ford explorer. This accident caused $9,000 in damage to my kia and sent myself, my husband, and my 2 year old daughter to the hospital. My airbags did not go off, and no one seemed to know why. I would like this investigated.
Dt*: the contact stated the air bag warning light illuminated constantly while the engine was running. The vehicle was taken to a private repair shop, where the mechanic was unable to determine the problem.
