O whom it may concern, my son was in an accident this past Tuesday 4/3/18 where he reared end another vehicle.. the air bag light came on but the air bags never deployed. It was enough damage to total the car.. aprox 9-12 thousand dollars in damage.. luckily no one was injured but I am very concerned about the air bags not deploying. The adjuster from the insurance company also was wondering why they did not deploy. I have read there is some issues with the 2017 Elantra and airbags not deploying correctly but not sure if applies to this situation I would like someone to review the damage and give me some kind of idea why the air bags did not deploy..

Takata recall- vehicle was turning left when hit from driver's side by another vehicle. Driver was injured, airbags did not deploy. See pictures. State police suspect that none of the airbag sensors were triggered during the collision when it was expected they would do so under such circumstances.

Driving around 35 miles an hour and come to a small curve turned the wheel little bit but car went straight and guard rail hit passager side front of car and driver airbag came out but didn't blow all the way up and had a hole in it with stitching around it so driver airbag is no count just falls in your lap and electric steering is unpredictable
