| Description of the problem | I was driving east to an ave, but another driver hit me on the passenger side. When the driver hit my car we spinned half way. The passenger sitting on the passenger side got hurt on her arm. The accident was sort of big. The car door on passenger side and the door behind the passenger was dented in. Getting hit that hard should have deployed the airbag and the hyundai emergency calling system. However none of them were working when the car was hit. According to hyundai they have more airbags than any other companies but even though they have more, the airbag didnt deploy which made the passengers arm get hurt. Also the drivers knee got hurt even though there was a so called "airbag." hyundai santa fe did not do what is meant for its safety. |
