Your 2022 Kia Sorento has had multiple airbags removed and wiring deliberately tampered with to hide the problem from your dashboard warning light. Specifically, the driver's knee airbag and A-pillar airbag are missing, wiring harnesses were cut, and electrical resistors were installed to prevent fault detection. The vehicle was previously in a crash that deployed airbags, but they were never replaced before you bought it. Fixing this safety issue will require replacing missing airbags, restoring proper wiring, and removing the bypass resistors.
