1999 Hyundai Tiburon

TWO WEEKS PRIOR TO ACCIDENT CAR WAS AT THE DEALER TO "FIX" THE REASON WHY HIS AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ON. THE DEALER "FIXED" THE LIGHT. TWO WEEKS LATER DRIVER WAS EXITING HIGHWAY GETTING ONTO THE ON RAMP TO ANOTHER HIGHWAY AND FOR NO REASON HIS AIRBAG EXPLODED. THE GROUND WAS DRY AND THERE WERE NO OBSTACLES IN THE ROAD. AT ONCE HIS HANDS WERE FORCED FROM THE STEERING WHEEL AND HIS VIEW WAS OBSTRUCTED RESULTING IN HIM PLOWING INTO THE FREEWAY BARRIER. UPON THIS IMPACT HIS PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. ANY HELP OR ADVICE YOU CAN GIVE WOULD BE APPRECIATED. *AK

MY SON WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY ENTERING A FREEWAY ON AN ON RAMP WHEN HIS AIRBAG "EXPLODED" FOR NO REASON. THERE WAS NOTHING ON THE ROAD HE WAS SIMPLY DRIVING ALONG ON THE HIGHWAY. THE AIR BAG EXPLODED WHICH RESULTED IN MY SON HITTING A WALL BARRIER ON THE FREEWAY. AT THE POINT OF IMPACT HIS PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED. SINCE IT WAS LATE AT NIGHT WE TOWED THE CAR TO A DEALER WHERE IT CURRENTLY IS. MY SON HAS COMPLAINED ABOUT PAIN IN HIS CHEST AND IS SHOOK UP EMOTIONALLY BUT THANK GOD THAT IT DIDN'T RESULT IN MUCH WORSE.*AK

I WAS DRIVING IN A PARKING LOT THAT I DRIVE IN DAILY. I WAS MAKING A ROUTINE TURN, AND WHEN I BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN FROM 30MPH I GOT TO ABOUT 20MPH AND THEN THE BRAKES LOCKED UP AS WELL AS THE STEERING WHEEL. I DID NOT SLAM ON THE BRAKES SO THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE LOCKED. AFTER THE CAR WENT UP ON A CURB, SEVERAL SECONDS LATER THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THEY DID NOT DEPOLY ON IMPACT.. WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR I WAS TOLD I HAD ANTI LOCK BRAKES AND NOW I AM TOLD I DON'T HAVE THEM AND THAT IN ITSELF IS A PROBLEM WITH THE DEALERSHIP. THE BREAKS LOCKED UP ONCE BEFORE AND I BROUGHT IT TO HYUNDAI, I DID NOT HAVE AN ACCIDENT JUST A SCARE, AND THEY BASICALLY TOLD ME IT WAS IN MY HEAD. THE CAR IS UNSAFE AND I AM SCARED OF THE BREAKS GETTING ME INTO A MORE SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THE 4,376 WAS ALL FROM THE ONE ACCIDENT WITH THE BRAKES AND THE AIRBAGS. *AK
