Was traveling roughly 70 mph on hwy 45 just outside of buckatunna, ms when 2 deer were seen on the median of the hwy a short distance away. As soon as they were seen, the deer saw our headlights and jumped into our lane of travel hitting the drivers front corner damaging the bumper, grill, headlight, and left front panel. What's concerning is even though the impact was on the driver side and 99% of damage to drivers side, only the front passenger's airbag deployed, not the driver side.

I was in an accident on October 21, 2017, we were heading to cabelas an outdoor sporting goods store. I was not aware of any stop signs and did not notice the car coming from the left of me. By the time I did notice I slammed my breaks but it was too late. The airbags for this van did not deploy but the light indicator was on for airbags being deployed. Also, the front seat belts became locked after the collision. I was left wondering why my airbags did not deploy. I was able to drive my van home but should have not done so since the seats were locked.

I was in a front end collision. Moderate accident, going approx 35 mph hitting another car with enough force to spin the car that I hit. My front airbags did not deploy. The car was not able to be driven off the scene. I was driving straight and hit the other car with the front of my car in her passenger door. I was on a city street.

Passenger side airbag sensor came on for no reason. Taken to Honda dealer, and they said the light came back on after testing and it will cost me well over $200. To replace.isn't this a safety problem, and under a warranty? I need to know for sure that this dealer is trustworthy!I was in my driveway when I noticed the light on and it would not go off.
