2003 Hyundai Elantra traveling at 70mph hit a large deer on highway. Over $6200 damage due to the extensive impact. Brakes were applied and a sudden deceleration occured but airbags did not deploy. The Hyundai dealership body shop said the airbags should deploy in such a major impact but could not explain why they did not. Hyundai will not return calls or offer any help. I feel this is a severe safety concern since the impact was quite substantial and this needs to be addressed by their company.
