Dashboard above passenger airbag developed (2) vertical cracks within (24) hours without incident. There has been no contact or incident of the vehicle or dash area at issue. Not sure if airbag is trying to deploy, or has deployed internally. To the best of my knowledge the vehicle was parked when the said damage occurred.

3 Air Bag problem

Takata recall needs to issue a recall on air bags, the light stays on and wont go off. What if im involved in a car crash? a recall needs to be issued on tag lights and break lights the bulb keeps blowing out, why is this?>.

4 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 12/23/2016

I was stopped in traffic on I-4 in florida and a GMC pickup truck hit me in the rear of my car a 2010 Hyundai Sonata. The GMC truck was going 70-78 mph when it hit me. None of my side or any of my air bags deployed as they should have. It happened on 12/23/16. Your lower date code wouldn't let me insert this date. Super government technology.

5 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 12/07/2015

My son was recently in two accidents involving Hyundai Sonatas. Both vehicles were totaled. In the first accident, he was driving a 2010 Hyundai Sonata. He fell asleep driving home one night and hit a guardrail with the left front panel. The car continued to slam into the guardrail all the way down the left side. No airbags deployed! four days ago, while driving a 2009 Hyundai Sonata, he slid on wet pavement and went down an embankment. He hit a large rock protruding from the ground causing the car to flip onto its roof. It continued to slide downhill until it finally came to a stop upside down. Again, not one airbag deployed! by the grace of god my son walked away from both accidents with only minor injuries. I am concerned that both these vehicles have significant airbag protection but when it was needed, they did not deploy. I am concerned that someone else may not be as lucky as my son was.
