The driver side airbag failed to deploy in the consumer 2004 Hyundai Tiburon. The driver lost control of the vehicle while driving in inclement weather and hit a tree. The passengers frontal air bag deployed but the driver's frontal air bag did not deploy. The driver sustained injuries to her chest, neck and back. The vehicle was totaled.

I rear-ended someone on an icy road going approximately 30 mph. My airbag did not deploy, but the passenger's did, with no one in the seat. Hyundai claims that this is normal- designed to deploy at slower speeds without the seat belt buckled, but based on the research done on injuries without a seat belt worn, I find this design to be faulty, or I must wonder if their claim is true.

On icy road conditions on December 24, 2004 my car slide down a hill and crashed into a car in the ditch. Driver air bag did not deploy, but passenger side did. No passenger in the car. Safety concerns over air bag not working properly.
