problem #9

Jan 232002

Accord

  • miles
Involved in front end driver side collision and driver airbag didn't deploy. Passenger side did deploy though. Honda is refusing to replace driver airbag even though it failed to work. I have been told by dealership that they have been seeing many cars coming in with this same problem. Honda has done nothing to address this issue so far. My contact with Honda directly hasn't been favorable. Honda is telling their technicians there isn't a problem when they call for help. The excuse Honda is giving their techs is that the driver airbags are set to deploy with a greater force and the passenger ones deploy with less force. They have had similar problems with civic models and have had to change the control box. Nothing has been done so far to address the Accord problems.

problem #8

Dec 062001

Accord

  • miles
I was alone and stopped at a red light when a vehicle hit me from behind. I had no warning of the approaching car since the driver had fallen asleep. His airbag deployed. My car was knocked directly forward into the truck in front of me, and that truck was knocked into the van in front of it. My airbags did not deploy and my seatbelt/shoulder harness did not prevent me from fracturing my eye-socket on the steering wheel. Based on the force of the impact, I believe that my shoulder harness should have prevented this devastating injury. After repairs that did not include replacing the harness, I am still subject to the same type of injury.
