Consumer Description

MY DAUGHTER WAS ON THE FREEWAY IN HER 2004 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. HER CAR PULLED TO THE LEFT AS SHE OVERCORRECTED, THE CART WENT ACROSS THE FREEWAY, SPUN OUT, UP THE EMBANKMENT, LANDED ON THE (DRIVER'S) SIDE AND SLID ABOUT 50-100 FEET BEFORE IT LANDED BACK UPRIGHT. NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE SIDE AIR BAGS SHOULD OF DEPLOYED FROM THE IMPACT OF THE CAR LANDING ON THE SIDE. HER CAR HAS BEEN DECLARED A "TOTAL LOSS". AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET, I FOUND THAT THERE WERE RECALLS FOR THE 2004 ELANTRA "DEFECTIVE AIR BAGS". WE WERE NEVER NOTIFIED OF THIS RECALL. MY DAUGHTER SUSTAINED HEAD, NECK, AND DUAL SHOULDER INJURIES. THANK GOD SHE IS ALIVE BUT WHAT ABOUT THOSE THAT HAVE NOT SURVIVED? *TR
