I was having multiple electrical issues with the car, malfunctioning radio, flashing etc. I had it checked out at Mahwah Honda and they stated no issues. Last week I was in an accident in which my car was deemed totaled. As I was crossing the intersection a car sped through a red light traveling at a high speed hitting my passenger side. This caused the passenger air bags to deploy (I was traveling alone) and the impact caused me to hit another car across the roadway. The driver side air bags did not deploy even though I hit another car. I do not understand why my air bags did not go off and do not recall if the on star worked as well. I do not know if this is all related to the electrical issues I reported which Honda dismissed.

After an accident, the Honda dealership failed to replace all required components necessary to ensure the safe operation of the vehicle. They said it is okay that the airbag light still comes up and that I should ignore it.

I was in a collusion with the 2018 CR-V and none of the airbags deployed. The vehicle was in motion when the collision occurred. I was getting ready to travel through an intersection when a semi truck struck the CR-V on the driver's side near the tire. The rate of speed and impact should have caused the airbags to deploy.

Takata recall. I had sat through a red light at an intersection and the light gave me a green arrow. I was trying to make a left turn and the at fault driver ran the red light and hit me in the drivers door. My head hit the window and the airbag deployed as I was coming off the window. I was pinned between the window and the airbag. The airbag did not deflate until someone found a pocket knife to cut it so I could sit up. Resulting injuries were to my head, neck, and ribs.
