Air Bag Not Deploy problems of the 2004 Hyundai Sonata

The contact owned a 2004 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that another vehicle crashed into the front passenger side of his vehicle at an unknown speed. The air bags did not deploy. A police report was filed and there were no injuries. The vehicle was destroyed and towed to any time towing lot in lewiston, maine. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 160,000.

We own a 2004 Hyundai Sonata (109,000 miles) we had a front end collision with significant damage. Me and my wife suffered minor injuries and the airbags did not deploy. We found out on the internet that there are frequent complaints if this failure around the nation and also in many Hyundai models across multiple years. We are filing the complaint since the error is critical and seems to be systemic in Hyundai vehicles. We do not know if NHTSA handles cars that are over 100,000 miles but we felt a complaint was warranted since the consequence of the error is so extreme. We fear for our safety with this vehicle now! being a disabled veteran, on a fixed income, we find it difficult to accept that Hyundai takes no responsibility for this problem. Its not easy for us to replace the car.

My wife somehow got her foot caught in her sandal and trying to get it unstuck hit a concrete light pole. The airbag shot white powder out ,light went on to show air bag went off but it never deployed. Had it been a worse accident fatal injury could have occurred because of faulty airbag not deploying yet showing it did by all symptoms such as the light, white powder and the seat belt cannot be moved and will not operate. This is a safety issue no matter if under warranty or not.

Was in a car accident on December 04 2011. I had significant front end damage to my vehicle due to someone running a stop sign. However, my airbags did not deploy on front!! only on on the driver side and was not full open , very concern on safety!.

Airbag light stays on. Has been in to dealer and other mechanics several times and has always been blamed on under the seat issues. We have spent several hundred dollars getting connections cleaned and wires reinforced. Light on again and now we have been quoted >$2000 to replace airbag assembly front passenger seat (high resistance noted). Not sure I trust the diagnosis or believe the solution. Am hesitant to invest any more in this issue when they never seem to fix it. Would like to have functioning airbags. This seems like a safety issue and something that should not require an expensive repair as the airbags have never deployed and the car is relatively new. I urge an investigation of this issue which seems to have recall merit.

While driving on i97, a vw cabriolet changed from 2/3 of exit to right to pulling directly in front of me perpendicular. I veer to left, jammed on brakes but hit his driver side door (origin speed 50-55 mph) then continuued into a steel guardrail head on, then pulled out most of the rail and jolted to a stop at an angle above a drop off. My airbags did not deploy. Not front or side airbags. We were lucky to walk away with bruises, cuts, and emotional trauma. Another family may not be so lucky.
