Airbags did not deploy in a crash by model year
What owners say
Car involved in a high speed (65mph) on the interstate. Hit by 18 wheeler and a guard rail headon. Airbags did not deploy.
Takata recall. My wife was sideswiped by a hit and run driver and ran off the road onto a rough vacant field. Airbag failed to deploy and she hit her head on the steering wheel and suffered a skull fracture. Two weeks after the accident she started having memory problems and has suffered 5 strokes and a ct scan shows brain damage. This has gone on since april of 2012 and the car was just a few months old with approximately 8,000 miles on the car. It did about $ 8000.00 dollars in damage which was never repaired right until alfa insurance company in alabama sent us to the best body man around and he replaced the entire front end of the outer panels and all of the underside supports and matched the paint perfect. I expect my wife to either be in a nursing home or more strokes may kill her. I don't have the accident report since it's been almost 4 years since the accident. The hyundai accent is a death trap in my opinion and should not be on our united states roads at all. That car will kill you in the slightest accident and my wife is turning into a vegetable before my eyes.thank you, [xxx] . She did have a witness that was installing cable tv lines on a power pole she almost hit. We did file a lawsuit against and the attorney settled for about $10,000.00 and he sold us out. She can't have nursing care for that amount. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).'

I was travelling east bound on memphis avenue at approximately 35 MPH approaching tiedeman road in brooklyn, ohio. I attempted to apply the brakes which gave a rubbing and grinding noise and caused my 2012 hyundai accent to rear end another vehicle resulting in a total loss to my vehicle. The air bags did not deploy and I was treated for contusions to my ribs, arms, stomach, shoulder and face as well as a sprain to my wrist. My vehicle sustained substantial damage and was a total loss, so why didn't the air bags deploy!!
