Description of the problem	I own a 2008 hyundai azera the airbag light came on the dashboard and stayed lit. I took it to the dealership and was told there was a defective side impact airbag sensor that needed to be replaced. I was given a 2009 hyundai sonata loaner and was in an accident with that vehicle. The other vehicle t-boned my drivers side and caused over $11,000. 00 in damage. The side impact airbags did not deploy. I suffered a deep gash to the back of the head requiring staples to close it--a sprained should, which i still do not have full range of motion and a softball size hemotoma on my left leg. I contacted hyundai corporation in ca to file a claim. I followed all of their protocol, filled out their forms and supplied all documents requested--ie: police report, estimate, photos, repair document from my '08 azera and overnighted the package to them within their allotted time frame. It's been 8 weeks since the accident and i still do not have an answer from hyundai as to why the airbags did not deploy.
