I was involved in an accident while driving down a city street in plano, Texas. A truck pulled out to get into the middle lane and was caught off and forced to pull into my lane directly in front of me. My brakes locked up after trying to stop, which isn't a problem because I know it is normal. What occurred was that as I struck the truck in front of me, my air bags didn't deploy, and my seat belt had failed to lock. Which caused me to collide with the steering wheel. The speed I struck the truck, which was going about 10 mph when we collided, was about 45 mph.

The contact owns a 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe. The contact stated that the rear driver side seat belt warning lights illuminated, which indicated that it was not connected. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the SAS needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 40,000.
