I AM LOOKING FOR HELP. MY 98 HONDA CIVICS AIRBAGS DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON AT ALL. I PARKED MY VEHICLE, TURNED THE IGNITION OFF & BOTH AIR BAGS EXPLODED IN MY FACE! DON CARLTON HONDA IN TULSA DID LOOK AT THE CAR & STATED IT IS NOT THEIR PROBLEM. MY INSURANCE COMPANY SAYS THE DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED BECAUSE IT IS A MANUFACTURER MALFUNCTION. AS I AM CONDUCTING MY RESEARCH, I FOUND THAT THE INFERIOR ALGORITHMS IS A KNOWN AIRBAG DEFECT AND THAT THEY CAN DEPLOY OR FIRE FOR NO REASON, WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO ME. THE DEALERSHIP DOES NOT BELIEVE ME. I AM OUT $3,800 ASSETT, I HAVE NO TRANSPORTATION, I AM A SINGLE MOTHER GOING TO SCHOOL FULL TIME, THIS IS VERY STRESSFUL. I AM SO AFRAID THAT THIS COULD HAVE HAPPENED AS I WAS TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH WITH MY 2 YR OLD IN THE CAR! WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED! HOW MANY OTHER HONDA DRIVERS ARE AT RISK? *TR THE CONSUMER STATED INCURED $188 IN TOW CHARGES AND WOULD LIKE TO BE REIMBURSED FOR SUCH CHARGES.

I OWN A 1998 HONDA CIVIC LX, AND THE SRS LIGHT ON. IT COST ME 64.00 TO TELL ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP SAID IF GOES ON AGAIN THEY WILL REPLACE THE COMPUTER CHIP AND WILL COST $500.00 TO $700.00 TO DO THAT. THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT'S CAUSING IT. I WENT ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND LOTS OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH HONDA'S WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. IT APPEARS HONDA IS NOT TAKING THE BLAME FOR IT. HOW SAFE IS IT FOR ME TO DRIVE MY CAR WITH KNOWING THE AIRBAGS WON'T GO OFF? I FEEL THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE SITUATION DRIVING MY CAR, KNOWING THE LIGHT CAN BE SET OFF AT ANY TIME, AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS NO IDEA WHAT'S CAUSING THIS? I'M A LITTLE SKEPTICAL ABOUT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP. AFTER READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS, MANY PEOPLE SEEM TO BE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *LA
