problem #3

Civic 4-cyl

  • 916 miles
At approximately 7:45 a.M. I arrived at work and turned left into parking space to park. I was driving a 2012 Honda Civic, which was less than one month old. The car lunged forward when I took my foot off of the accelerator, jumped the parking bumper and struck a concrete wall. The driver's air bag deployed and the front bumper was scraped and knocked out of place. American Honda has inspected the car and claims that nothing is wrong with it but refuses to release its report to me.

Civic 4-cyl Diesel

  • 8,023 miles
I was trying to back into a parking space with my 8 month old, 2012 Honda Civic. As I took my foot off the gas pedal to put the car into reverse and before I could step on the brake, the car surged forward at a tremendous rate of speed, jumped a curb and went straight into a brick building. The car bounced backwards onto the parking lot and I was able to step on the brake and regain control. This happened in a matter of a split second with no time to jam the brake on as the car lurched forward. Even though the car jolted tremendously, the air bag did not go off, but a service light came on the dash board indicating "check airbag system."

Civic

Hi, I would like to bring to your notice in regards to my 2012 Honda Civic cpe. The issue is with passenger side airbags. In January when one of my friends 9 yr old son sat in front passenger seat for 2 mile ride, the passenger side air bag sign showed the airbags are off. I can see the airbag light off all while during my drive. I tried by making a adult sit in the front passenger seat then there is no warning sign abt the airbags. It happens times when ever my friends 9yr old son sits in front passenger seat. I took the car to T he dealer to check on airbags, they said everything is ok. But am not convinced. But I feel concerned abt other cars, who drive with kids in the front passenger seat. Kindly please check with airbags related to this particular vehicle.
