O whom it may concern, my son was in an accident this past Tuesday 4/3/18 where he reared end another vehicle.. the air bag light came on but the air bags never deployed. It was enough damage to total the car.. aprox 9-12 thousand dollars in damage.. luckily no one was injured but I am very concerned about the air bags not deploying. The adjuster from the insurance company also was wondering why they did not deploy. I have read there is some issues with the 2017 Elantra and airbags not deploying correctly but not sure if applies to this situation I would like someone to review the damage and give me some kind of idea why the air bags did not deploy..

Driving around 35 miles an hour and come to a small curve turned the wheel little bit but car went straight and guard rail hit passager side front of car and driver airbag came out but didn't blow all the way up and had a hole in it with stitching around it so driver airbag is no count just falls in your lap and electric steering is unpredictable
