The second time this occurred the vehicle in front of ours was hit, and accident report was filed. Dealer assured this was the abs kicking in, and all was well. This year vehicle was brought to dealer because at times when the brake were applied the vehicle lurched forward and sounded as if the gas was being applied at the same time.
Vehicle was purchased brand new from dealer in 2/06, brought regularly to dealer for any and all warranty/maintenance work. They should not be allowed to conduct business if they are not willing to take responsibility for hazardous defects! *Tr I'm calling a lawyer tomorrow morning but someone needs to investigate and run some tests while closing the doors. This has affected my hearing and my neck has been hurting, kia hasn't even called to see if i was ok. I'm afraid to put my children in this car for fear that the other air bags will deploy unexpectedly and injure or kill them.

The car was not in an accident and does not have a dent on it plus i have a witness that was standing outside the opened passenger door when it happened. On 11/12/07 they called and said that the computer registered that the car had been in a collision and therefore they will not make any repairs to the car. The car is torn up inside from the air bags deploying and i'm afraid the system will malfunction again. I told kia i wanted the car replaced, we just bought it in february of this year. I contacted kia immediately to file a complaint, had the car towed to kia where they examined it.

My 2006 kia spectra hatchback was parked in the driveway with the e-brake on, both front doors were open and the car was running, i sat in the car and closed the driver side door and the seat and side curtain airbags went off, hitting me. I'm in tennessee and the car had an owner in wisconsin who put the most miles on it. The gas tank straps should have gotten so rusty for such a new car. If this isn't a safety hazard i don't know what is. So i have a car with one broken gas tank strap and other is just as rusted and the gas tank could fall off and catch on fire causing me and/or other people behind me to catch fire. After them telling me to go get a diagnostic from dealership and 6 days later they decline me for any more consideration. So i call kia and they say my model though it is a 2006 kia spectra is not eligible for the replacement. So i look online to find replacement straps and find a recall (nhtsa campaign no : 11v256000) detailing that the gas tank straps are liable to rust and come off if they were in any northern states which use heavy amounts of road salt. When i pulled over it turned out to be the gas tank strap was super rusted and had busted. As i was driving i was hearing something drag under my car. I was pumping gas into my 2006 kia spectra and heard a metal pop and thought someone ran over something. This is not a matter of consumer maintenance. A lifesaving feature such as an airbag should not have an expiration date. Kia needs to make right on their vehicles. Huge disappointment in both the car and the company. They offered me $150 to go towards the cost of repairs. Customer safety isn't a concern for them after the warranty is up. I've been actively working to get this safety concern acknowledged by kia for a month and a half. We are the second owner and have had it for 5 months.

My 17-year-old daughter drivers this car. The 1-800 number listed for consumer affairs closed my case and said that after the 5 years 60,000 miles the warranty is over and void and safety issues such as an air bag that doesn't deploy falls on the customer and is customer responsibility. I wrote 7 letters to kia corporate, i specifically wrote to their directors and those in higher management positions listed on their website. This recall should be extended to include the similar model year kia spectras as there are numerous complaints found. This is the same defect for which the 06-08 kia rios were recalled - nhtsa campaign no. I was told the bottom portion of the front passenger seat needed to be replaced due to the faulty sensor at a cost of more than $1600.

I was told the error code was b1448 ocs mat defective. I paid $163.96 to diagnose the problem at the kia dealership. We are the second owner and have only had the car for 5 months at the time this occurred. The air bag light came on in my daughters 2006 kia spectra at 112,000 miles.
