To whom it may concern, I drive a 2008 Honda Civic ex, on 2/16/2010 I was in a car accident on the way to work. I tried to avoid a tractor trailer that was coming too close to me and by doing so I lost control of my vechicle and hit the guardrail to the left then spun me into the right lane hitting the guardrail to the right which in turn spun me again to the left and hitting the guardrail to the left face forward. None of the air bags deployed during the accident. As a result I sustained injuries to the left side of my head and upper, middle and lower back pain. I am currently in physical therapy and I am missing two weeks of work. The car was sent to the Honda dealership in hartford, Connecticut. The dealership told us that the car was totaled and when we asked them about the air bags not being deployed, they told us in turn that from the looks of it I did not hit the guard rail face forward, when I actually did. I did not have any side impacts, most of the damage is in the front and some on the back end. I am hestitant to buy another Honda Civic due to the air bags not deploying and I am afraid that this may occur to another Honda owner. Honda is known to have safe vechicles however I am afraid the new Honda Civics may have a air bag problem, especially after my incident and my car being totaled.

I recently purchased a 2008 Honda Civic. I had a wreck and it was totaled. A Chevrolet Tahoe hit the front end of my Civic going at least 65 mph and smashed the whole front end. The impact was very strong causing the Tahoe to flip. My air bags did not deploy, when my car was looked at to see if it was totaled or if it could be fixed, the adjustor said my airbags should have deployed. Where the sensor is, is completely smashed. I bought my Honda Civic because I heard they were very safe cars, and although no one was severely injured in the accident, I don't know if I should buy another Honda Civic if the air bags aren't going to deploy when they should.
