2017 Kia SEDONA Air Bags Problems, Complaints and Defects

Internal NHTSA #	11197050
Manufacurer	Kia Motors America
Brand	KIA
Model	SEDONA
Model Year	2017
File date	17/01/19
Component	AIR BAGS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	While driving around a corner doing 25 mph, on a back road that was dry, i corrected the steering to the left out of the curve and the steering continued to pull to the right and would not correct. Vehicle went down a 20 foot embankment and struck a tree head on. The airbags did not deploy in the collision and the engine did not shut off. I sustained serious injuries, resulting in 4 months of missed work and a double discectomy to repair two severely herniated discs. Until my surgery i was in a wheelchair from these injuries, as my spinal cord was compressed by the discs in my neck. The kia service department and the customer relations hotline will not speak to me regarding the safety features other than to say there has not been a recall. It is my understanding that the airbags should deploy from a full front impact going a speed of at least 25mph (as there was downward momentum at that point) however the auto body repair shop that our insurance company assigned us to says the airbags are not designed to deploy in such an accident. As i cannot get an answer from kia as to whether this has merit, i am left driving a vehicle that i am unsure is safe.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.

Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
