I was coming off of interstate 95 onto my exit and I applied my brake to slow my car but my brake apparently gave out and was not working. It make a loud sound like it was trying to hold but it didn't and in order to stop my car from hitting any others or people standing at the side of the road I tried steering it toward the closest curb so that I could prevent as much as possible within my power. My airbags didn't deploy but the car hit hard enough that my face slammed into the steering wheel, I sustained a concussion and damaged my face and glasses. I have muscle strains in my back, neck and still a swollen eye and cheek bone.

During merge onto a major dallas tollway, traffic became stopped in the right lane and upon applying a hard brake of my car, the anti-lock brakes failed to engage, the seatbelt did not lock, my car felt as though it was accelerating even though I was pressing the brake pad hard. I hit the car in front of me once and then again before my car stopped, still running. My car sustained $8500 in damage to the front end, but the air bag did not even deploy. I have owned it for 15 months and have not had an issue of this nature in the past, however I am now concerned of the safety of this vehicle.

When I was sideswiped and then he drove down the whole left side of my car the airbags did not go off. I went up a some hill and hit cable box and still no airbags my back door was on the street afterwards. The front drivers door was pushed in about 3-5 inches and still not airbags they say he did not hit me in the right spot. Some of the front and rear bumper is missing to. I am not sure where he needed to hit me if we have 6 airbags that should go off then why no airbags. I have seen less damage to a car and there airbags go off. I have own Hyundai's for over 14 years and this car sucks. I will never pay again my car is totaled so I am still confused at where my airbags need to be hit to go off.

I rear ended a car and nearly totaled my car. For some odd reason the airbag never deployed during the time of impact.

I recently lease the above vehicle from local dealer universal Hyundai in orlando. After driving a short distance I realized that the passenger airbag light was lit (meaning off) even though my wife was in it. I contacted the dealership who had me speak to a service advisor (scott). He told me that I should buy a pillow since my wife was only about 103 pounds in weight, and that there were no adjustments which could be made to the seat. This did not make sense to me so I continued to my sales rep(george spencer). He had the service manager (nestor dias) contact me and he basically told me that under 150 pounds the airbag won't deploy. If I had realized this up front, I would never have leased the Elantra. Now, the airbag light goes on and off when it chooses. I love my wife and am truly concerned about her safety. Please advise.

Was about 2 tenths of a mile from a stop sign. As I was beginning to make my approach, the car accelerated, lurched forward and sped across a four lane highway before I could react. The car was T-boned on the passengers side. The impact straightened my vehicles trajectory from 90 degrees to about 30 to 45 degrees. I then impacted a guardrail with a somewhat nearly head-on angle. After I went through the guardrail I then impacted a tree head-on which brought the vehicle to a stop. My passenger's side curtain air bags deployed but the front (dash) air bags did not. My passenger received a broken collar bone, fractured rib, scalp lacerations (stitches), a concussion and multiple bruises from head to toe.
