Tl*the contact owns a 2004 hyundai tiburon. In 2006, while driving at an unknown speed, the driver side air bag deployed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but they could not find any defect. The contact's son was involved in a fatal crash with a school bus. The seat air bags failed to deploy. The contact feels that if the seat air bags would have deployed, his son would still be alive. The vehicle was destroyed and a police report was filed. The powertrain was unknown.
