I got the car with free accident carfax at Toyota in Waldorf Md. A Honda Civic 2018 with 39000. The radio wasn-€™t working and one speaker was broke, they promise me that they were going to fix it, when I tried to find the antena I realize that the back window wasn-€™t from the manufacture so I took the car to the dealer they sent me to Honda in Waldorf they didn-€™t want to fix it cuz I bough the car at Toyota after I left I was making a turn I can said I was like 5 or leas miles an hour and the airbag deployed on me with no accidents ( when I had the car not even a month ) when I took the car to the dealer the manager told me that they were goi g to check the car, after 2 weeks I kept passing by the dealer and the car wasn-€™t moving when I asked they said it was dangerous to drive but I have to move the car cuz the airbag was deployed cu of my fault I said why ? He didn-€™t have an answer and since then they ignore me and they don-€™t want to fix the car when they lie to me with a clean carfax and I found out too that the car has been in the coalition by Toyota. They said that I got the front of the car cuz the tag was bend but if u see the picture when I got the car it was already bent, the rims were different from the picts that they have for sale, paint don-€™t match.

On 11/28/2018, I was driving on freeway and the air bag in my car deployed with no reason. I sent the car to the dealer for investigation. The dealer told me that the air bag is deployed because they found a dent on the rear control arm which I found hard to believe. When the air bag deployed, there was no collision, I was driving on freeway, so there is surely no bumps on the road. Even if they found a dent on the car, there is no proof that the dent is made on the same day that the air bag pops up. Hypothetically it can cause the air bag to deploy, it just means the car has design problems because scratching the bottom of the car can happen very often. It is terrifying to know that will trigger the air bag to explode. That is the reason I feel it is suspicious and it is necessary to file a complaint. I have requested the dealer to provide the investigation result report, but they have refused. They claim the report will only be provided to the insurance because my insurance had paid for the repair. I have confirmed with my insurance and they did not receive anything except the estimation, meaning the dealer is still holding the investigation result and did not share with anyone.
