What owners wrote
I tapped a car in front of me going less than 5 MPH, not even a scratch on either car, but the steering wheel & the driver airbag deployed, causing cuts, bruises, & scrapes. The officer, the emt, as well as the other driver have no idea why they would go off in such a slow, light tap. The damage to me, as well as the inconvenience is disturbing.
I was in a collision in which I was going 10 MPH and the other car was going 45 MPH on a divided highway intersection. My airbags deployed. However, when the driver's steering wheel airbag deployed it shot the hyundai logo from the steering wheel into my arm at 200 MPH. The only injury that I sustained was from the "h" logo that was propelled into my right forearm; I sustained a deep bone bruise/minor impact fracture.
