| Description of the problem | While traveling through an intersection at which i had the green light, another vehicle, traveling perpendicularly, ran the red light and my hyundai santa fe smashed right into the passenger side of that vehicle. My speed was approximately 25 mph, yet the air bag did not deploy. The entire front of my vehicle is smashed and the car may possibly be totaled (we are waiting for insurance claims adjusters to examine). Our concern is that the airbags did not deploy on impact, as they should have. *jb |
