My wife was driving our 2004 Hyundai XG350 and was hit on the drivers front panel by a pickup truck. The truck was traveling at approximately 40mph and my wife at 5mph. The impact totaled our car and none of the airbags deployed. My wife has a broken scapula, five broken ribs, punctured lung, fractured hip, fractured pelvis nad bruised liver. If the airbags would have deployed she would not have sustained the injuries and pain that occurred!

2001 Hyundai sedan; xg300; side driver air bag deployed when door was shut! I am a 2nd owner; THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY FACTOR, that no one will address. It seems that no air bags will work when one is out of commission! Therefore this is a SAFETY MATTER; and I am not the only one this has happened too!.. All the Hyundai dealerships say the manufacturer will correct the problem.. When I call the main Hyundai trouble shooters; they tell me 2nd owner no way!

New vehicle, Hyundai Sonata, passenger air bag light does not function properly when 118 pound wife sits in passenger seat. At times the light goes out, indicating air bag is engaged, most of time light remains on, indicating air bag IS NOT engaged. Wife sits on seat in approved fashion; light goes on or off in at random times. Dealership could not repair and district representative was called in. Seat was replaced, but problem persisted. Final answer from Hydundai is car is acting within reason. Our options are 1) accept car with problems or 2) pursue Lemon Law for replacement/buy back of car.

I bought a 2007 SantaFe SE in January. In February the red air bag light came on. A couple of days later I get a call from the parts department telling me an air bag sensor came in. The service department don't offer a loaner car for me to get back to work, so I had to wait until February 23th to drop it off. (My birthday) They fixed it and all is well. Then the air bag light came back on. They ordered another sensor and put it on April 20th. Then, in May I get a call from the parts department that they had ordered a fuse box for my car. So I guess I had been driving all this time in a deadly car. I have to wait till my wife has a day off at the end of the month to take the car back in. Kinda feel bad now about selling my Hyundai survey for a detail job.

ever since i bought my hyundai santa fe 07, i have had trouble with the air bag indicator/sensor. I weight about 110 pounds and hwen i sit in the passanges seat of my car the air bag sensor doesn't work properly. even if i sit properly according to hyundai the sensor comes on and off making the car unsafe for me to ride in. When i took it to the dealer their only suggestion was for me to ride in the backseat of my own car!

This is crazy. there is a problem and it need to be recalled and corrected before i or someone else is seriously injuered due to this problem. If anyone can help me please do!

This needs to be corrected. too many other people are suffering form the same problem and hyundai needs to own up to it and correct it.
