Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 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.*ak
