My son was recently in two accidents involving hyundai sonatas. Both vehicles were totaled. In the first accident, he was driving a 2010 hyundai sonata. He fell asleep driving home one night and hit a guardrail with the left front panel. The car continued to slam into the guardrail all the way down the left side. No airbags deployed! Four days ago, while driving a 2009 hyundai sonata, he slid on wet pavement and went down an embankment. He hit a large rock protruding from the ground causing the car to flip onto its roof. It continued to slide downhill until it finally came to a stop upside down. Again, not one airbag deployed! By the grace of god my son walked away from both accidents with only minor injuries. I am concerned that both these vehicles have significant airbag protection but when it was needed, they did not deploy. I am concerned that someone else may not be as lucky as my son was.
