Struck the vehicle ahead of me at approximately 45 MPH in the rear, completely crushing the front my vehicle. None of the air bags deployed! Sustained bruises to chest from seat belt, stiff and sore neck and back.
I was hit on the driver side of my 2007 hyundai tucson at about 25-30MPH. My vehicle was totaled and the driver side curtain airbag failed to deploy.
I was in a headon collision in my 2007 hyundai tucson. The airbags sis not deploy and I ended up getting hit with the steering wheel to my chest. The other vehicle involved airbags deployed. The front of my vehicle was greatly damaged. My concern it that the airbags did not deploy.
I was driving and all of a sudden the airbag light came on. After I turned the car off and started it again the light was off. Started driving again and the light came on again and hasn't went off this time. I looked on safecar.gov website and found the problem to be a recall issue. I called the dealer and they said it didn't apply to my vehicle. Why? I need this problem fixed.
