I own a 2008 Hyundai Azera the airbag light came on the dashboard and stayed lit. I took it to the dealership and was told there was a defective side impact airbag sensor that needed to be replaced. I was given a 2009 Hyundai sonata loaner and was in an accident with that vehicle. The other vehicle T-boned my drivers side and caused over $11,000 in damage. The side impact airbags did not deploy. I suffered a deep gash to the back of the head requiring staples to close it--a sprained should, which I still do not have full range of motion and a softball size hemotoma on my left leg. I contacted Hyundai corporation in ca to file a claim. I followed all of their protocol, filled out their forms and supplied all documents requested--ie: Police report, estimate, photos, repair document from my '08 Azera and overnighted the package to them within their allotted time frame. It's been 8 weeks since the accident and I still do not have an answer from Hyundai as to why the airbags did not deploy.
