I rear ended a car infront of me that had stopped abruptly, I was going about 30 mph and the impact was so hard I slammed my chest on the steering wheel, it ended up doing 13,000 dollars of damage to the front end but not one airbag deployted.
Airbags failed to deploy in moderate collision. Impact was by a Chevy Silverado to left front of 2013 Tucson. Air bag deployed on truck. No airbags deployed on Tucson (side or steering column). Drivers left side, hip and head made direct impact with door and window. Force of impact was enough to snap an axel and shift entire engine block. Tucson spun 180 degrees after being struck. State trooper and truck driver estimated speed of truck at impact at about 35-40mph. Impact occurred while Tucson was stationary and waiting to turn left from parkhill ave. Onto wadsworth blvd. In littleton, co. Please contact reporter if additional information and vehicle history is required.

A police report was filed. The contact sustained back and neck pain. The passenger sustained body aches. The contact stated that the infant child located in the rear driver's side seat may also have been injured. The contact was currently en route to the hospital to seek medical attention. The vehicle was towed to a tow yard. It was unknown if the vehicle was destroyed. The vehicle was not taken to an independent mechanic or dealer for diagnostic testing or repairs. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 43,000. The VIN was invalid.
My airbags did not deploy during an accident in which my car was completely totaled. I was at a complete stop on the highway when I was rear-ended at full speed, which caused my vehicle to ricochet onto the one ahead of me. Two serious impacts and not one airbag.

The red airbag light on dash turns on and off randomly while driving. This is the red airbag light...not the passenger airbag light. We have had it "fixed" 3 times at the dealer, and it continues to happen. We have had the drivers seat airbag sensor replaced, passenger seat cushion assy-fr seat replaced, and codes reset. Specifically gds code B1490 and pods reset. The codes were reset March 14, 2014 and on March 22, 2014 the red airbag light began turning on and off again. We know Hyundai has had airbag problems in the past. That is why we are reporting this complaint. Hopefully this is just a single incident, not a giant airbag problem again!
