I was involved in an accident and my airbags never deployed. A police report was filed and the other car got ticketed. I was driving down the road and a car pulled in front of me and I T-boned them. Not sure why my airbags didn't deploy. Also, since 2012 as I accelerate and press the gas pedal my car shudders, like its skipping. Not sure why but it's not right and shouldn't do this.

Airbag warning lamp on dashboard began to light up sporadically. Later in the month the car was taken for routine maintenance at a certified Honda dealer, it was explained that there is a problem with the driver side airbag and the light indicated a problem which prevents the mechanics from knowing if the airbag will deploy in the event of an accident. This defect is only covered for Honda Accord V6 models 2001-2005 and has a quoted repair of $700-900.
