Kia Sorento Seat Belts Safety Report | Aug 30, 2011
Reported on Aug 30, 2011
| I WAS IN A THREE CAR ACCIDENT IN WHICH I REAR ENDED A STOPPED VEHICLE AT 40MPH. UPON LOOKING AT KIA'S OWN WEBSITE AND THE OWNER'S MANUAL FOR THE 2011 KIA SORENTO, I CAN SEE THAT THE IMPACT TOOK PLACE ON THE AIRBAG SENSOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE AIRBAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY & THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BELT & FRONT PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT FAILED TO 'LOCK'. THIS RESULTED IN MY 92 YEAR OLD GRANDMOTHER HITTING THE DASH WITH HER FACE, AND I AS THE DRIVER, HIT MY HEAD ON THE STEERING WHEEL SUSTAINING A CONCUSSION & WHIPLASH. I AM STILL SUFFERING SEVERE PAIN THAT I HAVE TO BE MEDICATED FOR WITH NARCOTICS, AND SHORT TERM MEMORY LOSS. MY GRANDMOTHER, LUCKILY ONLY SUSTAINED FACIAL BRUISING. *TR | |
