In the current environment any promises made by any car maker today could be un-done tomorrow.

Hyundai/Kia is the largest auto maker in Korea, somewhat similar to Toyota in Japan. It also have full Korean government backing. It is destined to overtake Honda, it's just a matter of time.

First Hyundai Genesis Coupe Crash... Air Bags don't deploy!

http://www.egmcartech.com/2008/11/13...-airbags-fail/

The Koreans have gotten their allocation of the new 2009 Hyundai Genesis Coupes and it seems like one customer felt his Genesis Coupe could push the limits a little more than he thought possible. Needless to say that he learned the hard way by crashing into the concrete base of a metal light pole.

As you can see from the images, the 2.0T Genesis Coupe you see here was the only car involved in the accident leading us to believe that the driver lost control and the Brembo brakes of the Genesis weren’t strong enough to slow him down.

What’s more interesting is that the airbags failed to deploy. You can see that the front driver side received the most damage. Wonder what Hyundai has to say about this.

The ignorance is strong with this one....

As if Hyundai is the only company whose cars have airbags that don't go off 100% of the time.

Examples:

Nissan Titan

Toyota Prius

Mazda Tribute

The list can go on...

Why haven't you been banned yet? I'm surprised you've made it this far in life with your kind of logic. I've yet to see you make a single post or thread worth a damn. You must have dropped out of elementary school.

I see. So I guess this means its perfectly normal and acceptable for airbags to not go off in collisions like that.







oh wait a minute, don't you own a Santa Fe? Who said it was only Hyundai that had airbags that don't deploy?

Hyundai will certainly straighten it out. They have too much at stake at this point.

You car snobs crack me up. A friend of mine has an 06 Sonata with more miles than my 06 TL. What's the difference? 10 rattles and 15,000 dollars.

I'm not a Hyundai Fan boy, but they're pretty good cars from what I've seen.

Yes...that's me. I'm not going to get into an argument with you over something so trivial. It doesn't matter who makes it or what it is. It could be a toaster or a wristwatch. Nothing, regardless of what it is, will work 100% of the time.

Oh...and a final thought. Car companies don't actually make their own airbags. I did some looking. Hyundai's airbags are made by a company called AutoLiv. That Same company makes them for almost everybody else...

Hey TL|GTX, go swallow a Korean co*k and call it a day. Just because one car crashes and airbags dont deploy doesnt mean all of them are pure garbage.

Get off your fucking high horse.

I remember three automotive companies who started more or less the same way Hyundai is right now.. And all are currently major players in the global auto industry. Care to take a guess?

Here's a clue: They're all from Japan and rhyme with Moyota, Monda, and Missan. What say you about those three?

why would your or your friend even bother to purchase one than? i don't usually get into arguments like this in the forums but your statement is very very offending.

If you're going to make a statement like that be sure to direct it at the company and not the race. If Americans made bad cars, you wouldn't like it if I said stupid ass Americans.

Thats racist comment right there. Nothing but hate and slander in your message.

I might criticize the car company, but never ethnicity who built it. For example, I might say Pontiac Aztec is piece of shit, but never "Stupid ass White Americans" who built that car.

Let the Lord deal with your foul mouth...

Why would the Korean Attorneys and Lawyers not want to pursue this?


And on a side note, I am really disappointed by the racial remarks by some of the Azine members. I would have expected a bit more Class, but I guess I was wrong.
