 Driving at a speed of 65 mph when another car cut me off i had to brake and hit the guardrail head on, and the airbagsdid not deploy. when i called hyundai to complain they told me that due to the cost of airbags they put it in a certain place where you have to hit it for the airbag to deploy. the odd fact was that i had a head on collision if i had not had my seatbelt on i would have gone through the windshield.*ak
