Yes, there have been concerns regarding airbag performance in certain Hyundai Sonata models. Specifically, the 2011 Hyundai Sonata and 2012–2013 Kia Forte experienced issues where airbags failed to deploy during accidents, leading to fatalities and injuries. Investigations by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration NHTSA have highlighted these failures, prompting recalls and legal actions. While these issues were prevalent in the U.S., its advisable for Pakistani owners to ensure their vehicles are up-to-date with any recalls and to have their airbag systems inspected regularly.
