| Description of the problem | I was recently involved in an accident in my 2006 hyundai santa fe. I hit the back of a stopped farm truck carrying a hay bale at about 65 mph, while i am alive and in decent shape considering, i surely would have appreciated at least one of the air bags deploying, but no, brand new car, totaled, i have pics, and all the air bags still tucked away in their respective locations. I would appreciate a good explanation for this as i currently own 2 hyundai vehicles and plan to not purchase or recommend on ever again. *nm |
