My airbags were defective. I was in a car accident, and the airbags did not deploy. After the accident, I was taken to the hospital to treat multiple bodily injuring, which could have been prevented if the airbag had deployed. I was driving in town when the accident occurred. I overshot a turn and hit a poll on the left side of the car. The car flipped and was totaled. Again, no airbags were deployed. I have included pictures of the car after the accident. My main concern is the issue with the airbags. I feel as though these should have worked properly and that I am fortunate enough that the accident was not any worse, as more serious injuries could have then occurred. If needed, I have more pictures; however, due to the file size allowed, I have limited it to key picture. Please let me know.

Was backing out of driveway at my daughter's, I was on a side road with no traffic. A large bang and the tire popped. When I had a mechanic come look at it, he said the spring had broke and went into the tire of the front passenger side. The vehicle is still in her driveway. I have owned vehicle for about 6 years and never received a recall notice. I was looking up cost and found the recall. I am so glad this was not while I was driving or had my grandkids in the car.

Tl*the contact owns a 2003 hyundai santa fe. While driving 25 MPH, the front passenger side tire detached from the vehicle. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer, but they were unable to determine the cause of the failure. One week later, while driving at an unknown speed, she heard a loud thud and noticed that the two bars that hold the tire in place were completely missing, including the lug nuts. She returned to the dealer and they were unable to determine why the bolts were shearing off. The failure only occurs to the front passenger side tire. The contact filed a formal complaint with the manufacturer. The VIN and engine size were unknown. The failure mileage was 36,000 and current mileage was 66,000.

We took the r 2003 hyundai sanat fe in for an oil change and 45,000 mile service. At the 45,000 mile service our tires were rotated. We noticed after this service that the right wheel was making a noise. The noise did not occur consistently. My husband was driving the car with our two children inside and had just pulled into a parking lot when the right front wheel feel off. All of the lugs were completely sheared off. We could recover 3 of them. Damage occurred to the under carriage as well as the body of the car. We were extremely lucky that they were traveling at a low rate of speed. They could have been easily killed if the wheel fell of while driving on one of our local expressways. Our dealership that we purchased the car and have it serviced at won't take any responsibility and states that any extended warranties that we purchased will not cover the damage or repairs. We have involved our insurance agency. Once the car is repaired I fear that this could happen with any of the other three tires.
