Front Air Bag Sensor Control problems of the 2013 Hyundai Elantra

Air bag sensor just went on fir no reason. Told steering wheel would have to be removed and cost would be close to $400 for entire job. This seems like a defect to me as never had any vehicles with this important safety issue.

"takata recall" my husband, daughter, and I were in an accident with a driver of a Mini van who blew a stop sign on a city street. The driver of the van was ticketed. The van's airbags went off as the photo shows. Our 2013 Elantra air bags did not as the photos show. I was in the front passenger seat. All of us had seatbealts on but I suffered blunt chest trauma and a concussion. The vehicle airbag book says their is a sensor in the front center of the car that detects 30 degrees either way. Look at the photos - failed to detect and deploy in our case.
