1 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 05/07/2010

My 1999 Hyundai Accent vehicle got hit on the rear (bumper) while I was still on a red light and the impact was so strong that the hit propelled my vehicle to hit the vehicle in front of my vehicle (a suburban truck) causing rear and front damages to the Hyundai. The suburban incurred zero damages, while the limousine that hit me incurred very little damages if any. My vehicle got sandwich even though I was about 4 to 6 feet behind the vehicle in front of me. My children were on the rear seats and incurred limited injuries. I received injuries and vehicle was total lost. The airbags did not deploy at anytime. I contacted the Hyundai corporate and an investigation is yet to be scheduled. I received written confirmation that my Hyundai vehicle has not been the only one with airbags deployment failure. That to me is a big safety issue that needs to be investigated accordingly.
