Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I was traveling on sunday october 31st on to an event along with my girlfriend and her daughter. as we were traveling westbound on (montvale ave) the main thoroughfare a man pulled out into traffic and turned into and crashed into the front of my hyundai sonata (2003 lx v6) all of the people in my car were ok seeing as we all had seat belts on. one of the failures that i immediately noticed was that both the driver side airbag and the pasenger's airbag did not deploy when we were hit by the other mans 92' buick (silver). at present i have the car in for repair and i am waiting for the auto shop to complete its work that has been in progress since the beginning of nov 2004. i am hoping that by making this complaint i can perhaps make the government aware of the problem of the airbag failure in hopes that the (hyundai motors) & the auto industry will be able to fix this problem so that no one in the future gets injured and or killed because of the disfunction. thank you. paul witt concerned citizen (ma) 2003 hyundai sonota lx v6 owner.
