A car attempted to make a left hand turn across our lane of traffic. We didn't have any chance to break to avoid the collision and all front airbags were deployed. The front passenger airbag didn't seem to deploy properly and seems that it inflated upwards to the windshield and not toward the passenger. The windshield was shattered by the airbags sending glass into the passenger compartment.
While my vehicle was stopped on the left turn lane, another vehicle coming from opposite direction was veered into the left turn lane which resulted in striking driver side of my vehicle. The damage was severe enough that my vehicle was eventually totaled. Despite the such strong impact, no airbag was deployed including side airbags.
We purchased our Palisade in October of 2020 brand new from the dealer. On March 5th 2021 @ 7946 miles on the car we took it in to the dealer because the passenger rear seatbelt had released on its own when braking hard with a child buckled in a booster seat. They said they could not verify the problem. Then again on April 22 2022 @ 37,924 miles we again took the Palisade back in because the driver rear middle row seat was showing buckled but it was not buckled and upon wiggling the seat belt it was turning on and off and not buckling. At that time they found the middle row left seat belt buckle not latching intermediately and said it was working again. Since then it has still continued to come unbuckled to this day. I have recently received from Hyundai a national safety recall about the issue and it's going back in for a third time now to resolve the issue. As of currently they will not be able to fix the issue because they do not have the parts and do not have an estimate of when they will be available. I also received a new national safety recall for the side curtain airbags in the third row not to the standards and are a safety concern. This vehicle has been a safety concern from the day I drove it off the lot and thank god only that we are good drivers we did not get into a accident the many many times we have been in the vehicle full of people as it could have been catastrophic and even have cause multiple possible deaths due to the failure of these different equipment during a accident. At this time this vehicle is not safe for my family to be in.
