Description of the problem	We own a 2004 hyundai sonata (109,000 miles) we had a front end collision with significant damage. Me and my wife suffered minor injuries and the airbags did not deploy. We found out on the internet that there are frequent complaints if this failure around the nation and also in many hyundai models across multiple years. We are filing the complaint since the error is critical and seems to be systemic in hyundai vehicles. We do not know if nhtsa handles cars that are over 100,000 miles but we felt a complaint was warranted since the consequence of the error is so extreme. We fear for our safety with this vehicle now! Being a disabled veteran, on a fixed income, we find it difficult to accept that hyundai takes no responsibility for this problem. Its not easy for us to replace the car. *js
