If it's the same one I got, it's about a malfunction with the passenger's side seat sensor for the airbags. In some cases, it will not recognize smaller adults, particularly if they don't sit squarely in the seat. Hyundai is offering a re-programming solution, but it may cause problems with child seats not being recognized as such. There is apparently no ideal solution to the issue. I plan to object to the exhorbitant 1.2 million dollar attorney's fees sought in the suit. |

Re: Elantra Lawsuit?
It was an odd letter/agreement.
The lawyers get more than a million dollars. And you the consumer? Hyundai will reprogram your sensor for free. Which they have been doing. I think the class action suit specifies a loaner car during the service. And nothing else that they weren't already doing - there was a recall that updated the sensor software.... |

Re: Elantra Lawsuit?
re: air bag phenomena
I am herein soliciting comment in light of alleged problem with air bag sensor in Elantras. Situation: A driver of a 2003 Accent was hit fairly hard (on passenger side front headlight/fender) by another car when turning left (Accent had the green arrow). The air-bags in Accent did NOT come-out. The Accent driver may not have been seat-belt-fastened. If driver not seat-belted, then the air-bags can't/don't inflate (?). Please clue-me (give me ideas) about why air-bags did not pop-out. Is there such a relation between seatbelt & air-bag? |

Unless the car was equipped with side impact-airbags (I don't think they're available on the Accent), there shouldn't have been an airbag deployment in a straight side impact. The frontal airbags do no good in a side impact and they're designed not deploy in such a situation. Seatbelts MUST be worn in airbag-equipped cars. Airbags are not called a "SUPPLMENTAL Restraint System" for nothing. There are large, obnoxious stickers on the visor to warm people of that and it's spelled out clearly in the owner's manual. There's a friggin' annoying light on the dash that warns you, too. How much notification do people need??? If the driver was not wearing a seatbelt, it would improve the gene pool if the accident prevents him/her from reproducing. |
