MY 21 YR.OLD SON WAS DRIVING HOME AT APROX 2:53A.M. LOST CONTROL OF HIS 2006 HYUNDI BRIO AND CRASHES THE FRONT LEFT SIDE AND LATER FOLLOWED THOUGH TO ANOTHER WALL IMPACTING IT SIDEWAYS . THE FONTAL AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND HE LATER DIED AT HOSPITAL OF SEVERE ABDOMIAL TRAUMA , RIBS PUNCTURIG BOTH LUNGS. AS A FATHER HOW CAN I KNOW IF THE FIRST IMPACT WAS STRONG ENOUGH TO MAKE THE AIRBAGS DEPLOY AND IF THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS FOR PROBLEMS CONCERNING AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT FAILURE. THE MODEL OF THE

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE TRAVELING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT HAD SUDDENLY STOPPED. BOTH FRONTAL AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE SERVICE DEALER WAS SENT TO TOW THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP. NO INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED AS SEATBELTS WERE WORN AND A POLICE REPORT WAS TAKEN. PHOTOS WERE TAKEN OF THE VEHICLE AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED.

ON 3/15/11 MY RIGHT SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG AND PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG DEPLOYED WITH NO COLLISION OR IMPACT OR ANY KIND, STRIKING MY PASSENGER. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, OUT OF TOWN IN JACKSONVILLE FL. AND ALMOST GETTING TO OUR DESTINATION, AND THOUGHT WE WERE SHOT. I PULLED INTO THE CLOSEST GAS STATION AND TRIED TO CALL JSO TO MAKE A REPORT, THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T MAKE A REPORT ON MANUFACTURER DEFECT, SO I CALLED TO MAKE AN INSURANCE CLAIM. THE NEXT MORNING I CONTACTED A LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP

I NOTICED THAT MY AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ILLUMINATED. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PASSENGER LOWER CUSHION SENSOR ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED (FOR APPROX. $1,000). WAS TOLD THAT NONE OF THE AIRBAGS WOULD WORK IN A COLLISION UNTIL IT WAS REPLACED. SINCE I CAN'T AFFORD TO REPLACE IT NOW, I HAVE NO AIRBAGS. (I ALSO OWN A 2002 HONDA CIVIC AND HONDA JUST RECENTLY REPLACED BOTH FRONT AIRBAGS IN A RECALL.) MAKE SURE THAT IF YOU CHOOSE TO BUY A USED HYUNDAI

AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON. HYUNDAI ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM. THE DEALER WILL NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE ISSUE WITHOUT A DIAGNOSTIC FEE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE A RECALL SO THE DEALER WILL INSPECT AND ASSIST.
