The 2010 Kia was traveling on a rural state highway with at a speed that has not been determined yet. When coming over a hill the car leaves the right side of road way, the driver over corrects spinning the car, it travels 180-200'feet backwards, leaves the road way snd side impact a tree. My 14'year old was wearing a safety device at the time she was on the right passenger side which is where the impact occurred she was found. She was pronouned at the scene. She was found still in the safety device her bottom half was somewhat in the passenger compartment under the dash and her top half still buckled in was found over into the driver seat/floorboard. It is my understanding that there was a recall concerning the seatbelts on this particular VIN number the crash is still under investigation however I've been unable to obtain any information on whether her seatbelt actually locked as it should have as I stated she was still buckled in when I found her they cut the seatbelt off of her but I think that's just a standard practice I will be receiving crash reports however those are not finished yet.
Passenger side seat bottom has to be replaced for passenger side airbag to function properly. This was diagnosed by the dealer when airbag light came on and stayed illuminated. There has been no alteration of the seats or involvement in any situation that would cause damage, so it seems like a manufacturer defect. This requires a $1350 repair.
The headrest pushes my head so far forward it makes my neck hurt. I am between 5' 3" and 5' 4" and had to turn it around backwards. Otherwise, I literally have to hunch my shoulders to look straight ahead. It isn't safe.
