I am reporting this for my daughter, [xxx] , while she's recovering on pain meds. She is the owner and driver of the car. No passengers in this 1-car accident. The weather and road conditions were terrible. Car skidded of side of road into a ditch. When the airbags deployed, the plastic frame on the drivers side a-pillar broke and exploded out towards the driver. It appears the sharp edge of the broken plastic frame struck driver in left eye, slicing it cornea area of her eye causing a ruptured globe. Thankfully, she has no other injuries. The plastic frame on the passenger side a-pillar did not break when it's airbag deployed. Reporting by [xxx] . Please contact me at [xxx] .

I would like to file a complaint regarding a major problem with our 2019 Hyundai Kona. We currently have case #[xxx] opened with Hyundai corporate customer care [xxx] ) but are having major problems getting this air bag issue resolved as it is currently an “unrecalled vehicle,” but having the same issue with air bags as a very recent recalled vehicle list and there is a current class action lawsuit. The car was in a minor rear end accident when major air bag issues were discovered not due to the accident. We were told to file a supplemental claim with our insurance company but as to no surprise to us it was denied because it had nothing to do with this car’s air bag issues. I have included the timeline and pertinent info on this car. It is currently outside the warranty period by date only. The vehicle has less than 58,000 miles on it. The vehicle’s air bag light was not illuminated until after the accident otherwise we would have resolved the issue right away the car has been at Hyundai glassman in southfield, mi. , for over 2 months while we have tried to get this resolved as the repair estimate is close to $9000. 00. Please review attached. Thank you! information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
The air bags didn’t deploy.
I was in a bad wreck on November 15th 2021 about 8pm I have pictures of car and air bags did not deploy was wondering because I thought as much damage they should have.
Upon collision (front end) at about 35 mph the vehicle burst into flames and continued to burn until the fire department showed up. In addition, there may be an issue with the seat belt mechanism. Driver's clavicle was fractured and displaced upon impact.
