I was in an automobile accident in my 2001 hyundai elantra on 12/15/01. I was wearing my seatbelt when the accident occured. The airbag light went on but the airbag did not deploy. I was informed on 12/22/02 that a friend of the family, driving the same year/make and model had been in an accident and the same thing occured.
As I applied the brakes on a wet road surface, the brakes locked and I hydroplaned. In an attempt to avoid hitting another vehicle, I swerved and slammed into a utility pole. The car hit the pole just a few inches off dead center, causing such severe damage to the car it has since been totalled by the insurance company. In the accident I sustained neck, back, mouth and hand injuries. None of the 4 front air bags deployed. Dt

If I was going any faster or hit any harder or by a larger vehicle, I wouldn't have survived. I find ir unbelievable that my car was hit on the front corner passenger side and that airbag, nor the side airbags inflated.d.
Air bag light on instrument panel is illuminated. Dealership examined vehicle for this problem, and determined an unknown fluid from cup holder caused an electrical short in an unknown component for air bag system. Please provide any additional information / documentation.*ak abl.pco
Consumer rearended another vehicle while driving 35-45 MPH, a second vehicle hit consumers drivers side door upon impact, driver and passenger airbags failed to deployed. Minor injuries, vehicle was totalled.
Car was rearended by a truck at approx 50mph. Airbags did not deploy. Is this right. The huyndai was stopped and a 1978 ford pickup rammed the backend. I am wondering if the air bag should have deployed? The huyndai did hit the car in front of it after being rammed.
Airbags did not deploy in this accident. I contacted the manufacturer. They have not done enough to investigate this problem. I have tried repeatedly to talk to someone with the ability to answer my questions.
Consumer states while driving 65 MPH he was hit by a tractor trailer. Upon impact, both front air bags failed to deploy. Was pushed about 400 feet, spun around and hit a concrete barrier with passenger front. Consumer suffered nerve damage in one leg/ his wife had a bruised chest. Vehicle was totalled.
Driver's side air bag deployed without reason. Airbag light was on for 48 hours prior to air bag deploying. Contacted dealer. Dealer stated it was the moisture inside vehicle reason airbag deployed.*ak abl.pco
