MY WIFE OWNS A 2000 KIA SEPHIA,WE WERE IN A HEAD ON COLLISION AT 40MPH AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.

DT: 2000 KIA SEPHIA. CONSUMER'S DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING ON JULY 26, 2005 WHEN A DEER RAN IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE, SHE SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES AND SWERVED TO MISS THE DEER. SHE HIT THE METAL GUARD RAIL AND A TELEPHONE POLE HEAD ON. THIS TOTALED THE VEHICLE. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED. A POLICE REPORT WAS ISSUED. CONSUMER HAS A GASH ON RIGHT EYE AND HER LIP WAS SWOLLEN. SHE WAS TAKEN BY AMBULANCE TO THE HOSPITAL. *AK *JB
PURCHASED VEHICLE APPROXIMATELY 10 DAYS BEFORE ACCIDENT AND NOTICED IMMEDIATELY THAT THE BRAKES WERE "MUSHY" AND STOPPING DISTANCE SEEMED UNUSUAL. INDIVIDUAL SELLING VEHICLE (NOT DEALER) STATED THAT THIS WAS NORMAL FOR THE VEHICLE. IT WAS HARD FOR ME TO BE CERTAIN SINCED MY PREVIOUS VEHICLE IS KNOWN FOR VERY TOUCHY BRAKES AND I THOUGHT IT MIGHT JUST BE AN ADJUSTMENT PERIOD. HOWEVER, I AM A CAREFUL AND PATIENT DRIVER AND IN 20 YEARS OF DRIVING HAVE HAD ONLY 4 SPEEDING TICKETS AND ZERO ACCIDENTS UNTIL I DROVE THIS CAR. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 9-10 DAYS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS TRAVELING AT APPROX. 15 MPH IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WITH ABOUT ONE CAR LENGTH BETWEEN MYSELF AND THE PICKUP IN FRONT OF ME. THE PICKUP DRIVER SLAMMED HER BRAKES AND I SLAMMED MINE ONLY TO HAVE THEM GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND PROVIDE NO RESISTANCE. I HIT THE PICKUP HARD ENOUGH TO SEVERELY BRUISE MY ARM ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND CAUSE SEVERAL DAYS OF BACK AND NECK PAIN. SOME OF THIS MIGHT HAVE ALSO BEEN AVOIDED IF THE AIRBAGS HAD DEPLOYED, BUT EVEN THOUGH THIS CRASH WAS A FULL FRONTAL ACCIDENT THEY DID NOT. AFTER I LEFT THE VEHICLE, ANOTHER SMALL CAR HIT THE BACK OF MY VEHICLE AND SEVERELY DAMAGED THE REAR OF MY VEHICLE AND THE FRONT OF HERS. HER AIRBAGS DEPLOYED IMMEDIATELY AND SHE SUSTAINED ZERO INJURIES. MY CAR HAD ONLY 58,000 MILES ON IT AND THE TIRES WERE NEARLY NEW, SO IT APPEARS TO ME THAT I HAD BOTH BRAKE AND AIRBAG FAILURE RESULTING IN THE LOSS OF MY VEHICLE AND PERSONAL INJURY AS WELL AS DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLES OF THE OTHER TWO DRIVERS. SINCE MY VEHICLE WAS NOT FINANCED, IT HAD LIABILITY INSURANCE ONLY. I HAVE NOTICED MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE REGARDING BOTH BRAKE AND AIRBAG FAILURES IN THE KIA SEPHIA, YET I FOUND NO RECALLS FOR THESE ITEMS BY KIA.
MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, WHEN A DEER CROSSED AND WAS HIT BY OUR VEHICLE. THE CAR HIT THE DEER BROADSIDE WITH THE FRONT END, THEN THE CAR WAS KNOCKED DOWN INTO THE DITCH AND HIT AN EMBANKMENT WITH THE FRONT END. BOTH IMPACTS WERE ACROSS THE WHOLE FRONT OF THE CAR. THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY WITH EITHER IMPACT. THE INSURANCE COMPANY WILL BE TOTALING THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE AMONT OF DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END OF THE CAR. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WE HAVE HAD A CRASH IN THIS VEHICLE SO THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WE HAVE NOTICED THIS DEFECT.
WHILE DRIVING AT 37 MPH VEHICLE SLID ON A GRAVEL SURFACE AND IMPACTED A STEEL POOL. UPON IMPACT, PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT DISCONNECTED, AND PASSENGER SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF HEAD, EYES, AND BOTH KNEES. THERE IS CURRENTLY AN OPEN INVESTIGATION EAO4-007, ON SEAT BELT BUCKLE FAILURE. *AK
