I was involved in an accident while driving down a city street in plano, texas. A truck pulled out to get into the middle lane and was caught off and forced to pull into my lane directly in front of me. My brakes locked up after trying to stop, which isn't a problem because I know it is normal. What occurred was that as I struck the truck in front of me, my air bags didn't deploy, and my seat belt had failed to lock. Which caused me to collide with the steering wheel. The speed I struck the truck, which was going about 10 mph when we collided, was about 45 mph.

While looking for a parking place, the air bag in the back of the driver side front seat spontaneously deployed, injuring my back and my left knee. My chiropracter got my back somewhat repaired, but my knee ended up having a meniscus tear that has not yet been repaired. Hyundai is willing to replace what my insurance company paid out for medical care and to fix my car. I will be having medical issues for the rest of my life thanks to this air bag incident. I believe Hyundai should pay for all future medical issues resulting from this incident but . . . . They investigated and are saying that the "computer shows an impact severe enough to cause the deployment" so they ae willing to replace the seat and reimburse only the insurance company. They say future medical issues are my responsibility. I do not believe this should be this way. Their product caused it, they should be responsible!.
My air sbag light is always on. It won't turn off. I don't if it is a problem with my air bags or just the light. It has been this way for years. There was not reason for it to turn on. I've never had an accident,so I don't if it will work when needed. I don't think I should for it. I think this a malfunction and should checked by a dealer at no cost.
