I purchased my vehicle from san francisco, I live in san francisco and only drive in san francisco, however, there's no dealerships that can service my car in san francisco. I'm being asked to drive over 30 miles away across the bridge and I have a phobia of driving across bridges. I will not ask anyone to drive my car. My complaint is that I contacted Hyundai and asked what they will do to get my car serviced, and my call is being escalated to another person and I'll receive a call within 3-5 days. In the meantime, I have to hope that my car doesn't cause an accident and if I do get into an accident, will my airbag work" they should have said they will send over a tow truck to pick up my car, and deliver it back to me. That wasn't done of course, because I'm not buying a new car. It is not my fault they don't have a dealership where I purchased my car any longer. What is the manufacture responsible for in making this happen"

My 2012 Hyundai tuscon was involved in a serious accident. My daughter was the driver and no other passengers in the vehicle. All airbags in the vehicle deployed at impact except the driver's airbag? I see numerous Hyundai recalls and airbag issues on the internet, but no mention of the tuscon. My daughter has serious injuries as a result of the airbag failing to deploy.

We were going through a green traffic light, we were about the 6th car through the light when vehicle coming out of nowhere ran the red light from the cross street at about 55mph, did not try to stop, we slowed to almost a stop and swerved to avoid the person. She did not try to stop and T-boned us in the drivers wheel and door, but the airbags did not activate, even with this high speed collision. This is the second accident of this kind where they did not activate. The first was in January and we were rear ended at a high speed while stopped at a traffic light.
