What owners wrote

I was driving down the road when a car, entering traffic, failed to stop/yield and struck me on the driver's side. For lack of a better word, I was "t-boned" by a car traveling 30-40 MPH. I sustained multiple injuries and have incurred some permanent damage.

February 2008 CrashInjury

The airbag warning light went on indicating that the airbags were not functioning. The problem was corrected however it continues to reoccur and has occured 8 times over the last two years. Hyundai has "fixed" the problem by adjusting a connector under the seat however the porblem continues to reoccur. It has now happened 8 times and after the last "repair" 3 weeks ago the warning light is back on. When the light is on we have no airbag protection.
