description: WE REAR-ENDED A 2004 EXPEDITION IN OUR 2010 KIA SOUL AT 20MPH. MY WIFE SUSTAINED A "TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY" AS A RESULT OF THE AIR BAG WIRING HARNESS BEING CUT IN HALF (BOTH SIDES) BEFORE THE SENSORS WERE ACTIVATED. I HAVE PHOTOS OF THE WIRING HARNESS CUT IN THE ACCIDENT AND THE CAR. MY 39 YEAR OLD WIFE WILL NOW SPEND THE REST OF HER LIFE DISABLED. THIS IS A DANGEROUS CAR. KIA STATES THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT ACTIVATE AT 20MPH. THIS IS NOT A 5 STAR FRONTAL IMPACT DESIGN. THE FUEL SHUT OFF DID NOT ACTIVATE, 'ALL SAFETY FEATURES FAILED'. I DROVE THE CAR 1/4 MILE TO A PARKING LOT AFTER THE WRECK, ONTO A TRAILER LATER THAT DAY, OFF THE TRAILER, BACK ONTO A TRAILER AND OFF AGAIN. THE DEALER TOLD US TO POUND SAND AND CALL KIA IF WE WEREN'T SATISFIED WITH THE VEHICLE SAFETY SYSTEMS. *TR
