In january 2017 I was involved in a accident. I hit another car in the rear at 65 MPH. The air bag failed to deploy I have been trying to get information from hyundia for over two years and they will not give any information they finally looked at my vehicle and said that the air bag failed to deploy because it was not designed to deploy in that type of accident .I assume there is a manufacture design problem. I was traveling on the freeway and a young girl crossed four lanes of traffic right in front of me and I hit her dielectric in the rear at 65 MPH. Hyundia would provide me any documentation to confirm there assessment I am a texas licensed insurance appraiser and have a lot of experience with accident reconstruction. I believe this is a serious manufacture design problem and should be investigated. I have saved the car for inspection if needed. I was permanent disabled in the accident and hyundia wwill do nothing
