2001 Hyundai Accent. Consumer states airbags deployed without being involved in an accident destroying the windshield and seizing the seat belts the consumer stated after two months of phone calls, Hyundai finally responded and claimed the system detected an impact and no assistance would be provided and the matter was closed.
My family was driving our 2001 Hyundai Accent in which another vehicle collided with ours except the dash board air bags didn't inflate. Afterwards within two weeks I stopped at the nearest dealership and asked who should I inquire why the air bags didn't work. The vehicle was totaled and I did send an email to the address the dealership provided but have heard nothing. My wife and daughter got banged up but are okay now. My concern is that it could of been much serious and why I haven't heard anything from Hyundai. The accident occurred on October 20, 2009 in el centro, California. Thank you.
