4 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 12/01/2019

While exiting the highway at a rate of 20mph on a decline, we began to slide in the snow, as we slid I began pumping the brakes to slow us down but the hill made us gain speed even though the wheels were not spinning. After sliding down hill for close to 100 yards, we made impact with another vehicle driving through the intersection. The front of my vehicle made direct impact with the side of the minivan. Impact was hard enough for the front bumper of my vehicle to be completely ripped off, my radiator cracked, the minivan is totaled and all the airbags went off in the minivan, but my airbags never did resulting in my chipping my teeth on the steering wheel, aggravating a fractured wrist, hurting my ribs, as well as my passenger hitting their head hard enough to give them a physician diagnosed concussion putting them out of work for 2 days and giving her whiplash. We purchased the vehicle because of the safety standards and reputation of Hyundai with the plan to be having children, we are fortunate that we have not had children yet.
