1 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 10/02/2015

Takata recall, couldn't see for a week. Was cut up on left side as was vision gone on left. Suffered and still suffering brain damage from airbag hitting me so hard. That car has ruined my life. I constantly shake from neck up on left side. I wish I would if died in the accident. That's how much it has affected me. I stay in the house by myself all day, every day. Its so embarrassing for me. Severe depression and anxiety have started also. Thank you Hyundai for ruining my life at 43 years old. I was stopped at a red light and the woman behind me never slowed down at 55 mph.

2 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 06/26/2013

I started my car at approximately 8 a. M. On 6/26/13 to go to work. One second after the engine fired, the steering wheel airbag blew up in my face. I have never had an accident in this car. The vehicle was stationary at the time and on my property with no evidence of anything out of the ordinary. After some troublesome negotiations, Hyundai motor America agreed to make a "one-time goodwill repair" of the vehicle's airbag components in exchange for signing my life away regarding the vehicle. I don't know if they reported this defect to you when I called their regional office in austell georgia on the day of the incident. However, I am reporting it now, in the hope that this doesn't happen to someone driving down a texas highway at 80 mph. Their flippant attitude concerning this, to me, is disturbing. I have not yet had the car repaired and am afraid to drive it.
