Description of the problem	My airbags blew in a very low impact accident (5 mph). My car was completely undamaged from the impact, with the exception of a broken license plate bracket and damage to my interior, caused by the airbags deploying. According to my automobiles user manual, the airbags are only made to deploy on high speed impact, which was not the case in my accident. I went through hyundai's complaint and resolution procedure, because i felt that the airbags should not have gone off. I also took the car to my mechanic and a hyundai mechanic, and they both agreed that, judging by the amount of damage done to the exterior of my car (broken license plate bracket). The airbags should not have went off. Hyundai claimed the airbags functioned properly, and closed the file. I started searching for a new dashboard, and i was told repeatedly that the airbags were sensitive and went off very easily. My personal mechanic stands firm that my air bags should not have deployed. There was literally no damage to my car from this low impact accident, except the deployed airbags and broken license plate bracket. All the damage was caused by the airbags. My mechanic and all the salvage yards i have spoken to claim the sensor is overly sensitive. Hyundai¿
