What owners wrote
I was involved in a severe motor vehicle collision in a 2017 Hyundai Sonata. The airbags failed to deploy during the crash. I sustained serious injuries and was transported from the scene by EMS. This vehicle has known safety recalls, and I believe the airbag non-deployment may indicate a safety defect.
While driving on interstate 70 in ohio my sharkfin blew off. I was going around 75 MPH. No vehicle was in front of me. I heard a very loud noise which lasted a few seconds. Within 10 miles I stopped my car a service station and discovered my plastic shark fin cover had blown off. Nothing hit the car. No blood, no scratches. When I reported it to the dealership they said I must have taken it through a car wash. I have had 3 sonatas and have never taken one through a car wash.
