On Dec 5, 2019 at 7:50 am, I was stopped at a red light waiting to turn west at a city intersection. When the light turned green, I accelerated and drove towards the middle of the intersection. There was no oncoming traffic, so I continued and was about to make a left turn when I got hit by 2018 Ford escape. The driver ran the red light and hit my vehicle in the front drivers side quarter panel, causing visible damage to my fender, wheel, panel and bumper (more damage will be determined by insurance adjuster). The impact was so hard that it moved my car, pushing the front end of my car towards east of the intersection. I had my two children and my dog in the car. The airbags did not deploy, at all. The other vehicle hit us head on and their airbags did deploy. My head and upper body slammed into the drivers side window. Everyone in my car had their seatbelt on and my dog was tied, by his leash, to an anchor in the back. The impact to my head was so hard, I went to the er and they did a CT scan to make sure there were no fractures or bleeding. I was diagnosed with a concussion due to the impact. I am attaching photos of the scene and the damage to my vehicle.
My airbag light came on and stayed on just before the 60k mile warranty expired. I called the dealership and was advised to bring it in to the dealership because the airbags might not deploy if we were in an accident. They said it just needed to be reset. Well, at just over 62k miles, it came back on this morning. A quick google search indicates it is a known problem across Hyundai's entire fleet of vehicles. How has this not already been addressed?! I have 4 kids and cannot take the chance of the airbags not deploying.
I was in an accident traveling approx 20mph on a city street when I hydroplaned and hit a stationary light pole head on. My frontal air bag never deployed. My head struck the windshield, created significant winshield damage. The over all damage to the front end, winshield, front end under the car damage that resulted in the car being totaled out. My concern is that my frontal driver side airbags never deployed.
Mva 11/4/17 and the driver side and passenger side air bags did not deploy although the door airbags did deploy on rt and lt sides. The vehicle was in motion on route 611 pikeville, ky when the accident occurred.
