1997 Hyundai Sonata Airbags Problems

While stopped in traffic on the highway at very low speed, your airbag warning light flickered on and off. About 2 minutes later, both the driver and passenger airbags suddenly deployed on their own while your car was at a complete stop and before you made contact with another vehicle. The airbags caused significant interior damage, and the unexpected deployment startled you, causing you to bump the car ahead of you.

Your car's passenger-side airbag deployed during a low-speed rear-end collision (under 5 mph), and the front-seat passenger was fatally injured. The airbag deployed with enough force to cause severe injuries including lacerations, spinal cord damage, and fatal head trauma. This suggests a potential defect in the airbag system's deployment sensitivity or force calibration that may need investigation by a technician or safety engineer.
