I purchased a 2012 hyuandai azera in july 2012, the car has only 30,000 miles the vehicle has been garage kept and well maintained. two week ago i noticed the dash was splitting around the area where the air bag is located (passenger side). took the car to route 60 hyundai, service manager sad they wouldn't cover under extended warranty, however it would cost $2,600.00 to repair, the part is $1,600.00 labor is $1,000.00. i don't have that kind of money. this defect was a problem in the 2008 model of azera, it is a design flaw and should be covered. what if this airbag deploys while i'm driving? there is a reason this area is weak and splitting around the airbag poor design or workmanship.....
The passenger side airbag is not detecting passengers sitting on the passenger side of car.
My wife ran of the highway at about 50mph traveled a short distance in the ditch and struck the side of a driveway where it joined the road, flew over the driveway landing on the other side causing a compression fracture of 2 vertebrae and although the azera was a total loss with the front suspension pushed back 8" and the roof buckled, none of the airbags were inflated. i can help but think that her injuries would have been less if these had worked. the accident took place at hwyff and county road 170 joplin mo.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 hyundai azera. the contact stated that the air bag warning indicator illuminated. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 80,000.
At that time the accident occurred, my wife took my daughter to school by my car. according to my wife, when she almost parked the car in parking lot of school, suddenly the car began to be accelerated without pushing accelerate pedal. she pushed the brake pedal continuously, but it never worked. car turned right with full speed, and crashed into a tree behind the car and stopped. in crash, right side airbag burst out and front right side of my car was fully broke up. my wife and my daughter were so shocked and frightened. for a while they can't do anything and my wife will not be able to drive any more. *tr
