My son was driving my 2007 hyundia tiburon, on the highway, when all of a sudden the car lost all it's stearing capability, he hit a speed limit sign vered off the road and went about 50 feet into the woods, the airbags never deployed. Luckly my son is ok, the car is a total loss. Why would the airbags not deploy with the front end is destroyed and the frame is bent.

I hit a cement barrier my car flipped I hit the steering wheel and hit my head my air bag did not deploy. I already had the airbag fixed once in this car. I was wearing my seat belt. I had just called hyundai two days before to tell them I had read numerous things on line with problems with the air bag in my year and make of car. They told me if I wanted it fixed they would charge me another 100 dollars. They knew of this defect and never told anyone. They could have prevented some of my injuries.

My son had a accident in a 2007 hyundai tiburon. He hit a pole going approx. 40 MPH. He bent both frame rails and did major front end damage to the car. On impact his air bag did not deploy. The car is currently in the body shop waiting on the insurance company. Hyundai told us both front sensors must be hit to deploy airbag. The frame is bent and that wasn't enough to deploy the airbags. I have been reading on the internet that many hyundai vehicles have been in severe accidents and the airbags didn't deploy. I would just like it to be known that hyundai vehicles are very unsafe. Luckily he wasn't severely hurt just back pain but it could of been alot worse. My son is very lucky he wasn't hurt worse and after reading all the trouble with hyundai airbags I am wandering why something hasn't been done to help correct the airbag issue since there have been many complaints on the internet. Hyundai evidentially doesn't want to take responsibility for this problem,the only thing we were told was that the only way the airbags will go off is if 2 sensors are hit. Well he took out the drivers side front end of the car and I can not understand how they consider this a safe car.
