I was driving at approximately 20-25 mph when both side curtain airbags deployed. There was no collision or sudden stops. There were no warning lights or symptoms before or after the incident. My battery had been replaced at a local shop 4-5 hours prior to the incident. My child was in the car in her car seat and appears to have no apparent issues following the event. The hearing in my left ear is deteriorated and I have a ringing sound and it makes a distortion sound when the noise levels reach a certain level.

In December 2021, I reported an issue with the driver-side airbag light being on that has yet to be addressed even after working with KIA customer service. In January 2022, the PASSENGER side airbag light is blinking. This has been reported to KIA as well.

2015 Kia Sedona driver's side airbag light is on intermittently. Dealer states airbag under seat is malfunctioning and cost to replace is greater than $1000. Vehicle has not been involved in an accident and this is original equipment. This is a safety risk because the airbag may not function properly in the event of a crash.

AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON AND WONT GO OFF. IT USED TO COME ON OCCASIONALLY BUT IT JUST STARTED TO BE ON CONSTANTLY RECENTLY. ALSO THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS STUCK ON. ITS SUPPOSED TO LIGHT UP OFF WHEN NO ONE IS SEATED. NOW THE SEAT BELT LIGHT FLASHES AS IF SOMEONE IS SEATED THERE. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY RISK.
