2003 Hyundai Accent Air bags Problems

“The passenger seatbelt airbag sensor wire was caught and cut in normal use of the car, while it was under warranty. When I brought it in, they said that it was not covered under warranty, and so we have taken it to a 3rd party mechanic to fix it. When he ordered the replacement part through Hyundai, the replacement part has alterations which fix the problem that caused the issue. So they know about the problem but won't fix it. When it is broken the car doesn't know that there is a passenger in the car and so the airbag would never go off.”

“I was traveling southbound in the right lane of a two-lane road in phoenix. A vehicle traveling northbound on the same road was attempting to make a left turn onto a side street. The vehicle (a ford explorer) turned left in front of me and caused me to collide with the front passenger side of that vehicle. My car (Hyundai Accent) was hit on the front driver side and the front of the car was seriously damaged and windshield cracked. My air bags did not deploy. The vehicle I hit had minimal damage, yet its airbags did deploy. I went to the er with chest and neck pains. …”

“While driving, stopping at a stop sign, and when pulling out another vehicle speeding hit consumer's vehicle. Upon impact, air bags did not deploy. Consumer sustained injuries. The vehicle was hit on the left front corner.”

“The vehicle was involved in an accident in which it was hit from behind and slammed into another vehicle head on. The air bags did not deploy upon impact. Please provide any additional information.”

“While driving the air bag warning light illuminated. Dealership informed the consumer that there was no module installed. The cause of the problem was not determined.”
