Accord

  • 80,000 miles
Airbag light appears on the dadshboard intermittently. It only comes on if I start the car and do not have my seatbelt on. If my seatbelt is on, the light does not come on. Further, while driving and the light is not on, the moment I take my seatbelt off, while the car is running, the airbag light comes on.

Accord

The seat belts in the 2005 Honda Accord hybrid provided no safety in a collision. The airbags also failed to deploy in the same collision. I was the passenger in the front seat of a 2005 Honda Accord hybrid when we rear ended a Volvo S-80. The Volvo then struck an Altima. The Accord struck the Volvo with considerable force. The Volvo's trunk was damaged and would not open. The structural bar in the Accord protecting the radiator was also bend beyond repair. I had the passenger seat as far back as it would go and was wearing my seat belt. During the collision my knees struck the front dash and swelled. The driver also suffered severe knee pain mostly likely from striking her knees against the dash or steering column. I believe the airbags should have deployed. Even if the bags did not deploy then the seat belts should have held. The seat belts in the 2005 Honda Accord hybrid provided no safety in a collision.
