general problems of the 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe

During a severe accident in which the cars collided from both the back and front at most likely over 50mph, the air bags did not deploy. In such a case, I feel as though they should have gone off as there was severe whiplash and the cars hit at such a fast and hard speed. My safety was impacted severely as if the cars around did not hit the way they did, I believe I could have died. It is extremely concerning that they did not go off when such large amounts of damage were done. In addition, there have been over 50,000 recalls done for air bags not working in this exact vehicle. In addition, the vehicle is being checked in the next day for additional damages and they will confirm the air bag issues. Police as well as insurance providers were shocked that the air bags did not deploy in such a severe case. No warning messages or lamps were on when the accident occurred or before. This is extremely concerning and I now fear for my safety even further if I were to purchase this vehicle again. It is a terrifying thought that I could have died due to a car malfunction.

Had an accident where driver side front of vehicle was hit. The severity of crash resulted in total loss. The driver was hurt and concussed due to her head hitting the side window, driver side. The vehicle was equipped with front side impact and curtain airbags and all failed to deploy. The other vehicle's side curtains were deployed.

The seat belt indicator on the console of a vehicle is illuminated the vehicle has not been any accidents or any problems other than that. I took it to the dealership and they stated it will take 2 to 3 weeks just a diagnostic this problem I think it should not be a problem.

Someone backed out of a parking lot and I crashed into their rear passenger side. Other party at fault but my air bags for 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe sport did not deploy.

The clockspring of Hyundai steering wheels does not work and goes bad. This is a known problem within Hyundais. A bad clock spring leaves without cruise control, a functioning horn, or most importantly, a functioning airbag. You would be unable to alert an inattentive driver and the airbag may not deploy in the event of a collision problem is confirmed by dealership. No warning lamps or messages occur from the issue. You only know when your buttons or horns don't work.

I have seen this be reported online, but apparently it only covers the kia model, not the Hyundai model. But the ods mat/bladder defect in our passenger seat in our Hyundai Santa Fe 2016. Drops codes b149000 and b1764 - this causes our air bag light to come on. This flipped on around 70k miles but because we are the second owner, we have to foot the bill out of pocket. Its asinine to think that we have to replace the entire seat and that Hyundai doesnt see this as a problem for them. Hyundai looked at our car, and again they stated we have to fix it ourselves - or pay them. They confirmed it. The problem is, it shuts our air bags off meaning if we dont foot the $2000-$3000 to replace it, our air bags just wont deploy. Thats a massive security risk. This seems to be a problem with various Hyundai and kia models, but apparently only some models with the same codes get to be replaced. Ridiculous. Attached are various issues by Hyundai, kia, with the same issue across various models. Here is the link to the same issues in a different model of kia/Hyundai cars [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

The contact owned a 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe sport. While driving approximately 55 mph, the brake pedal was depressed and all the air bags deployed without warning or impact. There were no injuries. The contact called world Hyundai matteson at 866-486-2915 (5337 miller cir drive, matteson, IL 60443) and was advised to take the vehicle to the dealer from where it was purchased. Instead, the contact called the insurance company. The vehicle was towed to a body shop where it was deemed a total loss. The manufacturer was called, but did not return the contact's phone call. The failure mileage was approximately 52,000.
