The contact owns a 2015 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated that upon accelerating from a stop light, the vehicle in the right lane abruptly attempted a U-turn, colliding with the contact's vehicle on the front passenger side. The air bags did not deploy. No warning lights were illuminated at the time of the collision, but the ABS warning light had illuminated intermittently before the collision. A police report was filed, and injuries were reported. The contact did not seek immediate medical attention but was treated days later for a concussion, a fractured collar, a broken rib, a broken wrist, and two herniated discs. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed a failure with the Malfunction Indicator Lamp sensors, determining that the air bag warning would have been illuminated had the sensors have been functioning properly. The vehicle was repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number:?23V651000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulics); the VIN was included but parts were not yet available. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but did not assist. The failure mileage was 40,000.

My wife was in an accident. She was doing 35 mph and hit a Honda Accord. The airbags in the Honda deployed, but the air bags in our Hyundai did not deploy.
I rear ended another vehicle going 60, I slowed down as much as possible however the seat belt did not lock, the airbags did not go off & the vehicle skid. The vehicle was taken to a lot by my insurance for evaluation.
The Hyundai Electra 2011-2013 were recalled for air bag issues with #13V115000. I have a 2015 Hyundai Electra and the air bag light came on. Hyundai said the problem was the same issue as the older cars but the recall did not cover the 2015s. Please expand review to expand the recall. Thanks, [XXX].

I was in an accident today. I was hit by a Transport truck on the highway doing at least 60 miles per hour. I was hit 3 times, twice on the drivers side (door and back tire area) then car was spun around and hit head on. The car had to be dragged if the highway, everything under the hood was on the road and windshield cracked. The hood was lifted right up at windshield. I am more than concerned the the airbags did not deploy. Why did our airbags not deploy"?? after spinning across highway and coming to a stop facing on coming traffic. We were appalled and very scared. Why didn't that safety feature help keep us safe"
On Nov 8th 2019 I was T-boned on my front driver side, by a driver that ran their red traffic light. My light was green and I was in motion through the intersection. My airbags did not deploy during the time of impact. I had to be taken to the hospital in an ambulance because of injuries. As I read complaints though, I see people airbags are deploying without impact.
I stopped at a light and went to move up a few feet. I touched the gas petal and the car flew into the truck in front of me. Airbag did not deploy with this front end collision. I was on a 4 lane divided highway in 5 O'clock traffic. No rain. I am unsure if it was the gas petal or something to do with the gas line itself
I T-boned another vehicle who turned across my lane in front of me. I was driving about 30 to 35 mph and hit the other vehicle on the passenger side of the car with the front end of mine. None of my airbags deployed. I injured my neck due to that crash. Also my child and husband were injured as well. I am reporting a faulty 2015 Hyundai Elantra airbag. It did not deploy in my crash. We were injured in the accident.

I purchased the vehicle back in 2015. Since then, I have taken my car to be serviced because my airbag light keeps coming on. My airbag has not had any major accidents.this has occurred at least 4 times since I purchased the vehicle. Every time I get the problem fixed, the light comes back on after a few months. I have complained about this to the services center each time and it seems as if the issue with the airbag light is not being resolved. Also, I received something in the mail regarding the airbags in my vehicle which heightens my concern about the airbags since I was having this issue before receiving this notice. The most recent incident happened about a week ago.
I was in a car accident where I was moving at about 2-5mph turning left and struck directly on the driver side door, the vehicle that struck me was going about 40mph and was traveling straight on the road. Both vehicles were towed away from the scene. None of my air bags, even the driver door air bags designed to go off in this type of accident were deployed. I smashed the left side of my head into the window of my car, a cut across my left clavicle, received facial bruising, a concussion, and am having ongoing medical issues related to whiplash and the displacement of my neck spine and shoulders. I also had a passenger in my vehicle who is also having on going medical issues. The driver door on this car was completely caved in and would not open, and there was damage to the back door on the driver side also. The airbags not being deployed when they are supposed to is a safety hazard to the driver and passengers in this car. Over $7500 of damages were made to this 2015 Hyundai Elantra.
I was involved in an auto accident at the intersection of J money and pass road in biloxi, Ms. On 10/15/2015. I was travelling on pass road approaching a signal light, going about 30 mph, I noticed it changed to green and I accelerated; a car pulled in front of my car and I hit it broadside on the drivers side going about 35-40 mph. I was alone the other driver had a friend/witness claimed I ran the red lite..no citations were given. No airbags deployed....I was injured had a bleeding subdural hematoma, hospitalized, hit my face loosened and later my frontal dental bridge broke of requiring implants. I suffered additional damage to my shoulder, strained ligaments, damage to my rotator cup. Under going therapy. Suffering from memory loss, imbalanced walking, headaches. Repair shop owner marvelled that the airbags hadn't deployed based on the amount of damage to the front end of the car; noted on his invoice that the airbags had not deployed. Hyundai denies that the airbag system is faulty after they download the computer; am attaching their letter of denial, along with pictures showing damage to the car...updated 03/22/16
I was driving on a road at 45 mph and the car in front of me swerved so I started to swerve as well assuming that there was something in the road. He then jammed on his breaks in the swerve and so did I but I ended up hitting the back of the other car. He had a newer Hyundai sonata and I had a 2015 Hyundai Elantra SE. I think the road was slick as well as we had recently had a snowstorm that ended the day before with about a foot of snow. The damage to the other vehicle was rear bumper damage on the left side. My damage was mostly on the right side bumper of my car to the middle of my car. The radiator was pushed back into the engine. No airbags deployed at all and my chest hit the steering wheel. I was going West bound on a a two-lane road. Afterwards my car obviously would not engage to drive to try and get it out of the road way. I had some whiplash and some damage to my right cheek from hitting the steering wheel. The steering wheel was still intact and none of the airbags deployed. I showed a picture to the er and they were shocked that none of the airbags deployed and the officer on the scene was equally disturbed that the airbags didn't deploy as well. I will attach a picture of the front end of my car.
Passenger side airbags deployed causing major injuries to the driver. Driver side and steering wheel airbags did not deploy. Right side of the drivers body (passenger side) was severely injured causing broken ribs a punctured lung and punctured heart left side injury to head from impact.
I rear ended someone going 35 miles an hour in city. I hadn't noticed traffic ahead was stopped and had no time to react..the impact was so severe that chest hit steering wheel and my head hit the dash. Air bags never deployed.my in tire front end crumbled causing the radiator damage and the frame of car to be bent along with me coming in contact with steering wheel. Thank go for seat belt or I might have hit windshield.since no airbags deployed I have broken rib and 2 fractures in my face..
