What owners wrote
My daughter was driving our 2002 hyundai elantra when she hit someone from behind. All of the injuries from this accident were minor, but the rear seatbelt became a major concern. Our grandson, who is almost 2 years old, was in his carseat in the back seat on the passengers side. His seatbelt did not hold his seat. He and the carseat were thrown forward against the back of the front seat. He had some bruising on his knee and struggled to walk for a day or two and this seems to be the extent of his inbjuries.
On board computer failed to deploy airbag and seat belt did not hold during an accident which resulted in injury to my neck and back.
