Wife, 64,was driving our one-owner 2004 Hyundai Accent gl on private road approx 15 mph when airbags deployed without any impact of any sort to vehicle. Wife was badly bruised on arms and face and windshield was shattered by passenger side airbag cover when bags deployed. We were fortunate that she was not on busy street or on interstate as this would have certainly resulted in a wreck with severe bodily injury or possible death. Local Hyundai dealership (perkins motors, colorado springs) refused to do anythiing. Hyundai hq customer service committed to "sending us a packet of paperwork to be filled out and returned to them by us and they would get back to us in 6 to 8 weeks once it was received to see if they would do anything. " no one from Hyundai has expressed any interest in seeing the vehicle or responding to a potentially very hazardous vehicle. I am very concerned about their lack of any sense of obligation to see what went wrong and how it might be avoided in the future. Their attitude is that it's our problem and the fact that it is a major safety issue doesn't concern them in the slightest.

On 3/15/11 my right side curtain airbag and passanger seat airbag deployed with no collision or impact or any kind, striking my passanger. I was driving down the road, out of town in jacksonville FL. And almost getting to our destination, and thought we were shot. I pulled into the closest gas station and tried to call jso to make a report, they said they couldn't make a report on manufacturer defect, so I called to make an insurance claim. The next morning I contacted a local Hyundai dealership, and they told me bring it in immediately. Upon bringing in my car they insisted they needed to do a diagnostics test. After 2 days of having my vehicle, and a rental at my exspense, I had to come home to charleston, SC. The dealership in jacksonville, janck hanania's Hyundai of orange park, told my insurance company the airbag deployment was due to used tires on the vehicle. After returning to charleston, I took my car to another Hyundai dealership, hendrick Hyundai north, and finally was given a number to contact Hyundai motors America. The dealership still has my car, Hyundai has told me nothing and still will not except responsibility for the airbag deployment.
