4 Air Bag Not Deploy problem of the 2014 Hyundai Genesis

Failure Date: 10/28/2019

I got into an accident in October 2019 where I was rear ended and carried into another vehicle but my air bags did not deploy although my headrests did deploy but prior to the accident my car would fishtail when making turns when the roads were wet and while driving on the highway trying to merge into traffic my car loses acceleration all on its own and then gradually picks up speed again I've almost got hit several times because of this. Also my car has shut off on its own in traffic with heavy traffic it was very scary we didn't know what was happening to the car and this has happened twice. Now my car is showing a lot of hard code errors from the abs/esc system to power seat modules they say it's something wrong with the computer system itself because it doesn't notify you of any issues on the dashboard at all. And today I took it to a mechanic shop and multiple b codes showed up which didn't make any sense even cam sensor codes and I just got this car in March 2019.

5 Air Bag Not Deploy problem of the 2013 Hyundai Genesis

Failure Date: 08/04/2017

On August 4,2017, I rear-ended another a Toyota fj cruiser at about 45 mph, because they came to a sudden stop on a major hwy. However, the airbags never deployed! this is unlike the time, a year or so ago, when I was rear-ended by a mistsubishi outlander, while at a red light on a city street. That time the head rest deployed and I had minor damage to the bumper. I'm disappointed. For a high safety rating, I expected more from Genesis. Very scary when your life is on the line.

11 Air Bag Not Deploy problem of the 2012 Hyundai Genesis

Failure Date: 12/21/2012

The vehicle was hit in the right rear quarter and then in the front, completely demolishing the front body work. Only the passenger side window curtain airbag deployed, likely due to the initial right rear side impact. The sole occupant (driver) was not protected and was injured (cracked pelvis, cracked orbital bone, nose injury) because the steering wheel airbag system failed to deploy. The manufacturer was provided with photographic evidence showing the above, but has declined to address the issue because "we attempted to inspect your vehicle and believed that an inspection would have confirmed the proper operation of the vehicle's airbag system. " the car was scrapped already and not available for inspection. Photos provided to the manufacturer (and available to you) demonstrate clearly that the front bumper assembly bodywork was completely ripped off the car, yet the driver airbag did not deploy. That would seem to indicate a catastrophic failure of that intended safety feature. The manufacturer's assertion about confirmation of proper airbag system operation is not credible in view of the facts. Please research the information and make sure that other drivers are not victimized by inadequate safety engineering.
