This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The contact owns a 2002 Hyundai Sonata. While the vehicle was parked, the contact placed the gear into drive and the passenger side air bag deployed without warning. Two months prior to the deployment, a crash occurred and the air bags failed to deploy. The VIN was unknown. The failure mileage was unknown and the current mileage was 71,000.
Airbag light was coming on and remaining on at certain times. Car was brought into Hyundai dealership in March 2007. We were informed that the airbag would not deploy in the event of an accident and was not covered since the warranty had expired. The vehicle had never been in an accident and the airbag had not ever deployed so it must have been defective from the beginning. The vehicle was brought into napleton Hyundai in West palm beach, fl in September of 2006 with the same airbag light problem and we were told by the service tech. That it was normal for the light to come on and there was nothing wrong with the airbag.
While driving, the air bag inadvertently deployed which caused the consumer to hit a parked vehicle and subsequently the vehicle rolled over. Provide further details. The vehicle was once service for the check engine light illuminating. Recall campaign: NHTSA campaign id number : 02V145000. On certain passenger vehicles, the supplemental restraint system (SRS) side impact air bag satellite sensors may be too sensitive to some lateral accelerations that are not caused by side impacts to the vehicle, such as forcefully slamming a door closed.
We recentlty purchased a used but showroom condition Hyundai Sonata with somewhere around 29,000 miles on it from a dealership. After about three weeks my son had to leave it in a parking lot. The throttle/cruise control cable (even tho he did not have the cruise control on) was stuck. He thought the problem was fixed so hedrove the car a few more weeks and was on his way home when the same thing happened again only this time he ran into a utility pole. The car was damaged pretty baddly but thank the lord he was not. He could have been killed. The utility company is charging us about $4000 or more dollars for the work they had to do to the pole. I called Hyundai Consumer Affairs. The car is at a Hyundai dealership. Consumer Affairs is mailing me a form to fill out. I do not know if Hyundai is going to claim responsiblity or not. I feel that this problem needs to be researched to see if there have been any other problems with the throttle/cruise control sticking making it impossible to stop or causing any other problem. I hate to see someone die from this.
Driving at 25 - 30 mph I was hit head on by another mid size vehicle. I sustained head, neck, and back injuries and my airbags did not deploy. My concern is that I have a 2003 Hyundai Sonata will those bags not deploy in a head on? my wife and child drive the 2003. I am very concerned. My insurance company want to "repair" my vehicle that failed.
While driving 50 mph the vehicle was involved in a head on collision. Upon impact, the dual airbags did not deploy, instead the airbag sensor light came on. The radiator had broken also.
While at a stop another driver hit passenger's side of consumer's vehicle at about 40 to 45 mph, and none of the airbags deployed. Dealer has been contacted.
