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!!

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 hyundai accent. While the contact was driving approximately 35 MPH, the air bag warning indicator began to illuminate continuously as a result to water spillage on the front passenger seat. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer who stated there was a short circuit in the front passenger seat sensor due to the water spillage. The vehicle had not been repaired because the front passenger air bag seat sensor assembly remained unavailable since november of 2011.
