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?

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.

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).

OUR KIA SORRENTO HAS THE METAL SHAVINGS IN THE OIL PASSAGE WHICH HAS CAUSED THE ENTIRE ENGINE TO FAIL AT $50K MILES. THERE IS A KIA RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE; HOWEVER, KIA IS REFUSING TO COVER THE COST BECAUSE OUR VEHICLE VIN IS NOT PART OF THE SPECIFIC RECALL. THE ESTIMATED COST FOR REPAIR IS $8K, PLUS OUR OUT OF POCKET COSTS FOR RENTING A CALL. WE ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH THE CAR THAT REQUIRED AIR CONDITIONER REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE CENTER CONSOLE, BUT ARE NOT SURE IF THEY ARE RELATED TO THE MANUFACTURING DEFECT AT ISSUE CURRENTLY. IN ADDITION, WE RECEIVED A LETTER SAYING OUR AIRBAG INDICATOR IS FAULTY BUT A RECALL IS NOT COMING UP FOR THIS ITEM.

My airbag came on in my 2015 KIA. It is a tension airbag, I believe. It won't go off.

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.
