Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Hyundai sonata 2001 side impact air bag deployed without cause. i was waiting at a stop light when air bag deployed airbag deployed while at a stop, therefore did not cause an accident. damage to drivers side seat, headache, and left shoulder sore for a couple of days. took car into be inspected by hyundai. they refused to inspect without a deposit. (which will not be refunded) in my opinion, this is a defect within the car, and no matter how many miles the car has, airbags should not deployed, unless the car is in an accident. *jb
