KIA SPECTRA5 2006 car safety problem was reported on Feb 01, 2010.KIA SPECTRA5 2006, manufactured by KIA MOTORS CORPORATION had a problem with AIR BAGS . WITHOUT ANY REAL REASON WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED WITH A PASSENGER OR DRIVER, EITHER ONE MAY DISPLAY THAT THE AIR BAGS ARE NOT ENGAGED (POSSIBLE ELECTRICAL ISSUE) WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. IT IS NOT PREDICTABLE. THIS MEANS THAT THE AIRBAGS ARE NOT OPERATIONAL. THIS STARTED SHORTLY AFTER THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED BY A DEALER. THE DEALERS CLAIM THAT IT IS NOT RELATED BUT DOES NOT KNOW WHAT THE CAUSE IS. THEY DO NOT GUARANTEE THAT THEY CAN FIX IT. THEY WILL CHARGE FOR THE ATTEMPT TO FIX IT BUT WILL NOT GUARANTEE THAT THEY WILL SUCCEED. WE ASSUME IT IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE... POSSIBLY THAT CONTACTS ARE WORN OUT. IF THAT IS THE CASE, IT SHOULD BE HAPPENING TO OTHER SPECTRA OWNERS AND IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE FOR THESE OWNERS. *TR.Mileage was 72000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):KNAFE161365. Kia Spectra5 2006 problem was reported in ELLSWORTH, ME. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. Vehicle had 4 CYLINDERS. FUEL TYPE: GAS. VEHICLE SPEED: 0 mph.
