2014 Hyundai Sonata airbags complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 31 of 31, newest first, as owners wrote them.
My vehicle struck another vehicle straight-on, broadside in a "t-bone" accident at approximately 40 MPH on a two-lane, 45 MPH roadway on a clear, dry, sunny day with no time to apply my brakes and neither the steering wheel airbag nor the driver's side side air bags deployed. The speed of the other vehicle then caused my vehicle to be dragged across the oncoming lane and up a five foot embankment. Only the passenger's side side air bags deployed on impact. The steering wheel air bag later deployed when my vehicle was being towed. My vehicle is a total loss. The other vehicle's two driver's side doors were pushed in past the frame of the car. The air bag recall for my year allegedly doesn't apply to my VIN.*dt*dt*dt*jb
Vehicle traveling 35 MPH initiated evasive maneuver in order to avoid side collision with another vehicle entering traffic. 'swerving' action LED to head-on collision with a stationary utility pole. No airbags of any type deployed.
Air bag light on control module failed for no reason. Cost me $1,141.00 to have dealer replace control module. I suspect the failure was due to wiring in tensioner recall. After hyundai tensioner recall in 2017 no accidents.
The driver's and front passenger's airbags exploded severely injuring me and my daughter. I was sitting in the driver's seat, my daughter was sitting in the front passenger seat. I was driving slowly turning left when a speeding van hit my car on the driver's side. I and my daughter became unconscious on impact because the airbags in my car exploded causing us severe head, chest, neck and back injuries. We were taken to the emergency room at lake norman regional medical center in mooresville, nc, and then transferred to atrium health level 1 trauma center in charlotte, nc.
Lost control of car on minor ice patch on the interstate. When it finally caught traction, it was slung into the side of a semi truck traveling at 75 MPH, but the air bags failed to deploy. The driver was injured, the front end was destroyed, and the car was totaled. Can obtain crash report and better photos if needed, just don't have them on me at the moment.
The vehicle has been at the dealer for more than 60 days and the manufacturer will not proceed with the repair of the safety recalls.

While driving multiple indicator lights on the dash came on, (brake, ABS, tractions control, steering, seat belt, air bag and check engine lights.) t highway speed the transmission shifted into 1st gear and I was forced to exit the road immediately. I safely came to a stop and shut the vehicle off. I then restarted it and then I was able to safely get home. I then called aaa and had the car towed to my mechanic. My mechanic found that they could not communicate with most modules/computers that are in the car. After hours of testing, they discovered that the back up camera was corrupting the computer data lines and essentially shutting down crucial modules in the vehicle. Once the camera was removed from the car, the vehicle operations returned to normal. Please advise hyundai of this issue, so other motorists can be spared this frightening experience. I will provide the invoice for repair and the failed part, which I have in my possession, if you need. Please contact me for further information.

On october 25, me and my wife were traveling on a local street and were blindsided by a car. The car struck us on the driver side front which caused the driver side curtain airbags to deploy. The force of that hit caused us to plow into a concrete barrier wall head on. At this time, the front airbags deployed. However my wife's airbag, the passenger side, exploded immediately causing visible burns to my wife's neck and chest. Upon emergency room exams and follow-up doctor evaluations, the diagnoses was that my wife sustained second-degree chemical burns to her neck and chest, which will require skin grafts from a plastic surgeon.
