My son was driving my 2007 hyundia Tiburon, on the highway, when all of a sudden the car lost all it's stearing capability, he hit a speed limit sign vered off the road and went about 50 feet into the woods, the airbags never deployed. Luckly my son is ok, the car is a total loss. Why would the airbags not deploy with the front end is destroyed and the frame is bent.

Tiburon 4-cyl

  • 82,000 miles
I hit a cement barrier my car flipped I hit the steering wheel and hit my head my air bag did not deploy. I already had the airbag fixed once in this car. I was wearing my seat belt. I had just called Hyundai two days before to tell them I had read numerous things on line with problems with the air bag in my year and make of car. They told me if I wanted it fixed they would charge me another 100 dollars. They knew of this defect and never told anyone. They could have prevented some of my injuries.

Tiburon 6-cyl

  • 20,000 miles
2007 Hyundai Tiburon. The air bag warning light goes off and on. I have taken it to the dealer numerous times. The mechanic has just "reset" the warning light. The mechanic mentioned to me that other customers have had problems. I asked why there wasn't a recall, and I got no response. Now the air bag warning light stays on all the time. The car is out of warranty. Why wouldn't the auto maker fix this problem before my car was out of warranty" why doesn't the auto manufacturer recall these vehicles" this is not the first problem I have had with this auto. The first problem was bad tires. They kept going flat. The mechanic told me it was because I didn't drive enough. I bought new tires myself. They don't go flat, even though I still don't drive a lot.
