I was rear-ended and the driver's seat did not maintain it's position and fell into the seat behind it.

Someone backed out of a parking lot and I crashed into their rear passenger side. Other party at fault but my air bags for 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport did not deploy.

Had an accident where driver side front of vehicle was hit. The severity of crash resulted in total loss. The driver was hurt and concussed due to her head hitting the side window, driver side. The vehicle was equipped with front side impact and curtain airbags and all failed to deploy. The other vehicle's side curtains were deployed.

We recently had the car to the local dealership for engine problems. It took over 3 months, but they finally determined that the camshaft was "bent" and they had to remove the engine to replace it, costing almost $5000. We had it back for about 3 months but didn't drive it much since my wife works remotely from home now. My son was driving it on the interstate and the engine threw a rod, spilling oil onto the exhaust, which caught on fire. He managed to pull over and get out of the car and by

WE WERE HIT HEAD ON BY A LARGE PICKUP TRUCK. WE SUSTAINED A LOT OF DAMAGE FROM THIS HEAD-ON COLLISION. WE WERE TRAVELING AROUND 10 MILES AN HOUR BUT THE OTHER CAR WAS GOING AT LEAST 20 MILES AN HOUR. THE AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED DESPITE BEING HIT HEAD ON AND SUFFERING A LOT OF DAMAGE UPON IMPACT. WE WERE SLOWING DOWN FOR A STOP SIGN. THE OTHER CAR TURNED INTO OUR LANE AND WAS ACCELERATING TOWARDS US.

THE CAR WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP IN A DRIVEWAY. THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING BECAUSE I WAS GETTING OUT OF THE CAR TO GET THE MAIL. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND WENT TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE. AS I GOT OUT THE VEHICLE STARTED GOING IN REVERSE AND PULLED ME UNDERNEATH THE CAR AND THE VEHICLE RAN OVER ME. I'M NOT SURE IF THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED OUT OF PARK TO REVERSE ON ITS OWN OR IF THE SHIFTER WASN'T ACTUALLY PLACED IN PARK. I THOUGHT THE VEHICLE COULD SENSE IF NO ONE WAS IN THE DRIVERS SEAT AND AUTOM

RECENTLY WE COULD NOT UNDO THE SEATBELT THAT OUR 6 YEAR OLD GRANDSON WAS STRAPPED IN. THE MORE TRIED TO EXTEND IT TO RELEASE THE TENSION THE TIGHTER IT BECAME. MY GRANDSON WAS BEING CRUSHED AND WAS SCREAMING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT RUNNING AND WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY. I HAD TO RUN INTO THE GARAGE AND GET A PAIR OF SCISSORS AND CUT THE SEATBELT TO GET HIM OUT. TO REPLACE THE SEATBELT IS GOING TO COST OVER $400 AND THE DEALER WILL NOT PAY FOR IT AS THEY SAID IT WAS OUR FAULT.
