The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 40,000. Update 01/13/16 MA updated 5/23/18
Was recently in a car accident on 7/15/15 driving my Hyundai. I was on the freeway at a complete stop in the exit lane. The other driver was going freeway speed (60/65) and I was rear ended, pushed into the car in front of me, my car spun and I was hit again on the drivers side and through all this, none of my airbags went off. I am now recovering from hitting my head on the steering wheel, back and neck problems.,safety was one of the main reasons we bought the car. Updated 09/14/15
I got car accident on I90. A big truck hit a rear door on driver side and the car spines. The truck again hit to side of trunk and top door of trunk was gone and broken also back glass(back of rear seat) my question is why not deploy side curtain airbags on front and back seats. No airbags deploy. My wondering is that if my kid sit on back seat, I am scare of it. Is it normal ?

I was involved in a T-bone collision with another vehicle that ran a redlight. While I was traveling at approximately 20-25 mph, the vehicle I collided with was traveling at approximately 35-45 mph. My front bumper was torn off in the collision as well as both headlights and the grill was damaged. I was the only occupant of the vehicle. The driver airbag did not deploy despite the apparent severity of the crash. Mileage at time of incident is estimated as the vehicle is currently in for repair.
I took the exit on 605 North and stop at the light to turn right because there is a no turn on red sign. As the light turned green, I start the vehicle to turn right then got hit on the driver side up to the front end. The other vehicle ran the red light and his speed was about 45-50 mph. My car got hit hard at the front and turned 180 degree, none of the airbags was deployed. As a safety concern, I would like to file a complaint as I am gonna have a baby soon this year 2014. What if that another accident occur and the baby or my spouse in the car with me?
I was driving a new 2013 Hyundai Sonata in a parking area, approaching a parking space for a straight-in parking facing a building. My speed was about 10mph. I brake continuously to slow down and stop, but nothing happened. The car went through the parking space and crashed into the brick wall facade of the building. The air bags did not deploy. The brick wall was not damaged. I had about 5 minor bruises on my right leg, and two below umbilicus (seat belt area). I also suffered from fright and emotional distress. A nearby pedestrian was cut on the ankle by crash debris that projected out sideways from the impact. The debris also scratched a car in the adjacent parking space. My insurance adjustor said that the car was a total loss from the damage.
