I was hit by a car turning left and my airbags did not deploy. The cars screen had an alert on it with the words "airbag failed". my VIN is not in the recall however I am concerned. The aribags failed and I'm lucky that I was ok. The car is deemed a total loss due to the airbags failing.

To whom it may concern, I would like to report a safety issue with a vehicle. I am not the owner of the vehicle that I am reporting, but I was negatively affected by a fire that the vehicle caused. My vehicle was parked in a public parking garage on the 1st floor. Several hours after parking my car, a BMW X5 parked next to my vehicle. The owner of the BMW left their vehicle and turned the car off. However, while the owner was away from the car, the vehicle caught fire. The fire spread to 4 other vehicles including my vehicle ' the two vehicles on both sides of the car and two vehicles on the 2nd floor of the parking garage. My vehicle was destroyed as a result of this fire. The fire engulfed the passenger side of my vehicle and completely damaged the interior. With all the damages that my car sustained, it is not driveable nor is it repairable. My insurance has a better record of the complete damage to my vehicle. Upon, exploring this issue, I found that this specific BMW was listed as an affected vehicle for recall. NHTSA issued several recalls for parts of the vehicle that could catch fire even when the vehicle was not in operation. For example: Report receipt date: 10-30-2017 NHTSA campaign: 17V683000 manufacturer: BMW of North America, llc consequence: An electrical short can cause the parts within the PCV valve to melt, increasing the risk of a fire, even when the vehicle is not in use. This is a major safety issue and BMW should be more attentive and responsible about this issue. As a result of this, I have lost my car and will not be able to recoup the retail value of the vehicle. This incredibly unfair and BMW should be doing more to remedy this issue and help those who have been negatively affected. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

The new Honda Civic 2014 was purchased from a dealer three months ago. Car only has 2600 miles now. Big chip on owners door handle, and one other significant chip on side panel. Also multiple little chips on hood and on front bumper once I looked carefully. Small now but will rust and peel and unfair to sell car like this. Salesman said I just sell them not fix them. Took it to a body shop that I paid to replace plastic door handle. And used silver bottle of paint I bought from dealer and tried to touch up spots so won't rust but can see spots and doesn't match. Feel like paid new car price for used car. Got ripped off. Salesman said once you inspect car it is your problem. Now read others have same problem. Last Civic. Last Honda. Bad dealer and salesman too. Once you buy car they no longer care. Note-auto body shop also saw imperfections and said that was not right for brand new car.
