NHTSA Complaint #10355893 — 2007 KIA OPTIMA

HOW MANY CONSUMERS HAVE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE AIR BAGS IN 2007 KIA OPTIMA (MOSTLY PASSENGER) BEFORE A RECALL IS ISSUED. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. I'VE ALREADY BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO DEALER DURING WARRANTY PERIOD AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM. WHAT IS THE POINT OF AIRBAGS IF THEY DON'T DEPLOY WHEN NEEDED? SOMEONE, IF NOT ALREADY, WILL BE SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE AIRBAGS, AND THOSE ARE JUST THE ONES THAT CONSUMERS TOOK THE TIME TO REPORT. WHAT ABOUT THE VISORS WITH THE DEFECTIVE INTERNAL PIECE THAT SHATTERS AND LEAVES THE VISORS IN A HANGING POSITION. THIS IS DANGEROUS!! THESE ISSUES HAVE BEEN GOING ON SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED AND NO RECALL WAS EVER ISSUED. AGAIN, THESE ARE SEVERE SAFETY ISSUES. WHAT DOES IT TAKE AND HOW MANY COMPLAINTS AND INJURIES DOES IT TAKE TO HAVE A MANUFACTURER CORRECT A SAFETY ISSUE? *TR
