I was recently in a car accident which was my fault, however the airbag did not go off or was never there to begin with ( its a used car). The crash was head on and the airbag most definitly should have gone off.
During a 35 mph direct frontal collision with another vehicle, both front air bags (driver's side and passenger's side) failed to deploy.
Airbags on my 2002 Hyundai Elantra gt did not go off when I had a head on collision with a guardrail at high speed. No injuries except whiplash, luckily!.
Vehicle was involved in an accident and the engine compartment caught on fire. The consumer believed the accident was due to recall (04v178000) regarding the fuel tank.
On board computer failed to deploy airbag and seat belt did not hold during an accident which resulted in injury to my neck and back.
The vehicle was involved in a frontal collision, and none of the air bags deployed.
I owned 1 2002 Hyundai Elantra, in which I was involved in a serious accident on the freeway. My car was only 5 months old when this accident occurred. This car was purchased because it had been equipped with 4 airbags, which included head protection. This accident occurred on February 19, 2003. I was hit by a semi truck, mainly on the drivers side, to which none of the 4 airbags deployed. Hyundai had been contacted, to which they claim there was no possible fault of the manufacturer. I am permanently disabled due to this accident, which left me with a brain injury as well as numerous permanent issues. We are working with senator timothy grindell in the state of ohio, to make "road rage" (which had been the reason for this accident), in trying to make road rage a punishable crime in the state of ohio. We have not been compensated in any way from Hyundai motor company, not even another vehicle, since my car had been totaled. Can you please tell me if anything can be done since I recently found out that there has been a recall on the exact part that they found to be faulty, in that none of the air bags deployed. I am eager to get some kind of information, with the hopes of helping others in the future, in that these cars are unsafe, and that Hyundai will not take any kind of responsibility in this case. I appreciate any kind of help in my case, thank you very much!.
