Narrative

The contact owned a 2014 Hyundai Accent. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle was rear-ended by another vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed. As a result, the contact's vehicle careened to the shoulder of the roadway and came to a complete stop after colliding with a barrier wall, completely compressing the rear of the vehicle. The air bags did deploy but failed to reach maximum inflation. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a tow yard and deemed a total loss by the contact's insurance provider. A police report was filed, and injuries were reported. The contact was transported to an area hospital by a relative and was treated for nondescript injuries to her neck and back. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
