THE CONTACT SUSTAINED CHEST, STERNUM, AND BREAST BONE INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOWING LOT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE AIR BAG FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 10645840. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,000. ...UPDATED 11/12/17/*BF CONSUMER STATED SENSORS WERE NOT ACTIVATED ADVISED THAT AIR BAG OPERATED PROPERLY. UPDATED 7/23/18*JB *TR

AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AFTER 100,000 MILES. MY CAR IS OUT OF THE INITIAL WARRANTY. DEALERSHIP WANTS TO RUN A DIAGNOSTIC FOR 115$, NOT INCLUDING PARTS OR LABOR FOR FINDINGS. THE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING AND IN MOTION. AT FIRST, IT CAME ON AND OF, THEN STAYED ON.

ON APRIL 14TH 2017 MY WIFE WAS INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT WHERE SHE HYDROPLANED OFF OF AN ONRAMP AT 60-65MPH AS SHE WAS GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY AND ROLLED HER 2013 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE SIDE IMPACT AND SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT SHE WAS A MONTH AND A HALF PREGNANT. I HER HUSBAND CALLED HYUNDAI WHILE AT THE HOSPITAL. I LET THEM KNOW THAT "NONE" OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND THEY SAID THAT THEY WOULD START A CASE. I ALSO LET THE COMPANY KNOW WHERE THE CAR WAS BEING SENT WHICH WAS A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP IN TOWN AND ASKED IF THEY WOULD CHECK THE AIRBAGS WHICH "NEVER HAPPENED". THE CAR WAS REPAIRED AND WE PICKED UP THE CAR ON MAY 4TH 2017. WE HAVE BEEN IN CONSTANT CONTACT WITH HYUNDAI ABOUT THE AIRBAG SITUATION AND WE FEEL THAT THEY NEVER REALLY TOOK IT SERIOUSLY. MY WIFE'S CAR HAS BEEN SITTING IN OUR DRIVEWAY SINCE MAY 4TH, 2017 NOT BEING DRIVEN DUE TO (A) MY WIFE BEING AFRAID OF THE CAR AND NOT FEELING SAFE INSIDE. (B) NOT KNOWING ABOUT THE AIRBAGS AND THE "ONGOING INVESTIGATION". FAST FORWARD TO TODAY SEPTEMBER 20TH, 2017 I RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM HYUNDAI SAYING THAT DUE TO THEM NOT BEING ABLE TO CHECK THE CAR AND AIRBAGS OUT "POST-ACCIDENT THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND ANY FAULTS IN THE AIRBAGS, AND THEN THEY GO NO TO SAY THAT THE ELANTRA'S SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO DEPLOY IN A ROLLOVER ACCIDENT. MY WIFE WAS TRAVELING AT BETWEEN 60 AND 65 MPH WHEN SHE LOST CONTROL OF HER ELANTRA AND I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THEY (A) DID NOT CHECK THE AIRBAGS WHEN THE CAR WAS AT A CERTIFIED DEALER/REPAIR SHOP AND (B) WHY THEY ARE TELLING US THAT THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO DEPLOY IN A ROLLOVER. FROM THE RESEARCH THAT I HAVE DONE IN ANY ROLLOVER THE SIDE IMPACT AND SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS ARE SUPPOSED TO DEPLOY IN A ROLLOVER. I DO HAVE PICTURE AND EMAILS FRO THE ACCIDENT AND EMAILS FROM HYUNDAI.

AIRBAG LIGHT COME ON YESTERDAY (9-19-17) WHILE CAR WAS IN MOTION AND WILL NOT TURN OFF NOW. AFTER RESEARCHING THE ISSUE, IT APPEARS TO BE A RATHER COMMON PROBLEM. ALSO STATED AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION.

THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON ON MY DASHBOARD A FEW DAYS AGO AND HAS BEEN ON EVER SINCE. I HAVE READ ON SEVERAL ONLINE FORUMS HOW SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE HAVE BEEN HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND HOW THIS MEANS THAT THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY DURING A COLLISION. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND THE DEALERSHIPS SHOULD BE CHARGING OVER $250 TO CORRECT THIS DEFECT. I HAVE NOT YET BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, BUT I DON'T WANT TO WAIT UNTIL THEN FOR SOMEONE TO TAKE ACTION. THANK YOU.

AIRBAG LIGHT WENT OFF AT ABOUT 80 THOUSAND MILES AND HAS BEEN ON EVER SINCE

ON APRIL 14TH 2017 I GOT INTO A CAR ACCIDENT WHERE I ENDED UP ON MY DRIVERS SIDE IN A DITCH AND MY SIDE IMPACT AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. WE HAVE BEEN IN CONSTANT CONTACT WITH HYUNDAI SINCE THAN WITH NO RESOLUTION. WE HAVE BEFORE THE CAR GOT FIXED AND AFTER THE CAR GOT FIXED PICTURES OF THE AIRBAGS AND YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE WHERE SOMEONE HAD TAMPERED WITH THEM. MY CAR HAS BEEN SITTING IN OUR DRIVEWAY SINCE MAY 4TH NOT BEING DRIVEN BECAUSE WE DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT NOT KNOWING IF THE AIRBAGS ARE GOING TO WORK IF WE NEED THEM TOO AND WE WERE TOLD TO NOT USE IT BY HYUNDAI UNTIL SOMEONE FROM HYUNDAI COULD COME AND INSPECT THE CAR, WHICH THEY NEVER DID. I ALSO HAVE ALL THE PHONE CALLS WE HAVE EVER MADE TO HYUNDAI WRITTEN DOWN INCLUDING TIMES, DATES, WHO WE TALKED TO AND WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT, ALL THE EMAILS SENT BACK AND FORTH WITH HYUNDAI WE ALSO HAVE PRINTED. IT HAS GOTTEN TO A PINT NOW THAT WE ACTUALLY GOT THE BBB AND THE NORTH CAROLINA STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL INVOLVED. I HAVE INCLUDED THE PICTURES MY HUSBAND TOOK OF THE DRIVERS SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS.
