Narrative

On 6/2/2023, my 16 year old Granddaughter was involved in a head on collision involving a driver who ran a red light. Upon impact of the two vehicles, none of the airbags in my Granddaughter's 2022 Hyundai Tucson SEL deployed. The impact was so severe that the Hyundai Tucson was totaled. My Granddaughter and her passenger's safety were severely at risk because of this malfunction! To my knowledge, no problem of this nature has been reproduced for confirmed by a dealer or independent service center. The car is available for inspection upon request. The vehicle hasn't been inspected by the manufacturer or insurance representative. The Police and EMT on the scene saw that the airbags did not deploy. I have filed a complaint with Hyundai Corporate Office in Alabama. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure.
