My son was driving my 2007 hyundia Tiburon, on the highway, when all of a sudden the car lost all it's stearing capability, he hit a speed limit sign vered off the road and went about 50 feet into the woods, the airbags never deployed. Luckly my son is ok, the car is a total loss. Why would the airbags not deploy with the front end is destroyed and the frame is bent.

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.
