2002 HONDA CIVIC Air Bags Problems

The contact owns a 2002 Honda Civic. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V501000(Air Bags) and would like to be removed from the recall distribution list. The local dealer and manufacturer were contacted.

The death investigator's decedent owned a 2002 Honda Civic. The contact stated that after the decedent stopped at a stop sign, they attempted to make a left turn and struck another vehicle on the passenger side. The decedent's air bag was deployed which caused trauma to the decedent's neck. The decedent's vehicle caught fire shortly after impact. The other driver attempted to remove the decedent from the vehicle as authorities were called to the scene. The decedent received medical treatment at the scene and was later transported to the hospital. The decedent was pronounced deceased approximately 30 minutes after arriving at the emergency room. The other driver did not sustain any injuries. A police officer who arrived at the scene managed to extinguish the fire with a fire extinguisher. The fire department later arrived at the scene to ensure that the fire was extinguished. A police report was filed. The whereabouts of the vehicle after the accident were unknown. The dealer nor the manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. Upon investigation, it was discovered that the vehicle was included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V370000(Air Bags) and NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V320000(Air Bags) which the contact linked to the decedent's death. The failure mileage was unknown.

SRS light came on. Vehicle didn’t have any change in driving performance.

The contact owned a 2002 Honda Civic. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Numbers: 15V370000 (Air Bags) and 15V320000 (Air Bags) and would like to be removed from the recall distribution list. The local dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was not contacted.

SRS light is on. Upon resetting, light comes back on in a couple days. Mechanic says the airbags will not fire with the SRS light on.

SINCE THE PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE THE SRS WARNING LIGHT HAS CONTINUOUSLY STAYED ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH BOARD. MY FIRST THOUGHT OF COURSE WAS SOMETHING WAS EITHER WRONG WITH THE AIR BAG SYSTEM OR THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION THAT LED TO THE AIR BAGS (WHICH ONES I HAVE NO CLUE) BEING DEPLOYED AND SO WHEN I SIGNED THE BILL OF SALE WITH THE DEALER I INQUIRED ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND WAS GIVEN A PAPER THAT STATES THE DEALER DID NOT KNOW AS WELL AS TO WHAYLT THE AIRBAG SYSTEM STATUS WAS BUT WAS TO BE EXCLUDED FROM LIABILITY TO THIS ISSUE BY MAKING UP THIS RIDICULOUS DOCUMENT. AFTER SEEING THE CAR FAX THE VEHICLE WAS THEN KNOWN TO HAVE BEEN IN A HEAD ON COLLISION IN 2018 AND SO THE DEALER LIED A BOUT NOT KNOWING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THIS DEALER HAS BEEN TOTALLY NON COMPLIANT WITH THE PROCESS OF GETTING THIS ISSUE ADDRESSED LET ALONE FIXED AND I HAVE TRIED ON SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO TALK TO OWNER WITHOUT ANY CALLBACK OR ANSWERS. I KNLY GET HOUNDED ABOUT WHAT THEY BELIEVE TO BE THE BALANCE DUE ON THE VEHICLE THAT'S IT . JUST TODAY I RAN THE VIN INN THE DATABASE AND SURE ENOUGH THERE WAS AN OPEN RECALL ON THE AIR BAG SYSTWMM IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS VIN AND THAT'S WHEN I DECIDED TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT .

RECURRENT AND UNSOLVED ISSUES WITH THE SRS AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT. IT WAS "REPAIRED" IN 2016, AGAIN IN FEBRUARY 2021, AND HAS RECURRED AGAIN IN MARCH 2021. I HAVE A HONDA CIVIC SI, WHICH WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE TAKATA RECALL PROGRAM. THE SI IS AN UNCOMMON MODEL OF THE CIVIC, AND I BELIEVE THIS IS THE REASON IT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I HAVE CONTINUED TO HAVE ISSUES OVER THE YEARS WITH THE SRS WARNING LIGHT COMING ON, AND NOT BEING ABLE TO HAVE IT EFFECTIVELY REPAIRED. ACCORDING TO ONLINE FORUMS FOR OLDER CIVICS, THE SRS WARNING LIGHT APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE. THOSE OWNERS RECOMMEND DIY REPAIRS AND WORK-AROUNDS. GIVEN THE LIFE-SAVING IMPORTANCE OF AIRBAGS, HONDA SHOULD BE REPAIRING/REPLACING THEM AS NEEDED.

I HAVE HAD MY SRS LIGHT ON SINCE I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN JULY OF 2017. MY SEAT BELTS DO NOT LOCK AT THE APPROPRIATE TIMES. I WAS ALSO INVOLVED IN A WRECK DRIVING IN RAIN ON THE INTERSTATE AND HYDROPLANED. I HIT A MEDIAN GOING ABOUT 50 MPH. NO AIR BAGS EJECTED FROM THE IMPACT. THE RESULTS OF THE IMPACT WERE A DENTED FENDER, REPLACEMENT OF THE DRIVER SIDE CONTROL ARM, NEW BALL JOINTS, AS WELL AS A DESPERATELY NEEDED TIRE ALIGNMENT. I FEEL IF THIS IMPACT WAS HARD ENOUGH TO BEND THE CONTROL ARM THEN MY AIR BAGS SHOULD HAVE EJECTED, BUT I'M NO MECHANIC. THANK YOU.

FOR THE LAST MONTH MY AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON

TAKATA AIRBAG ISSUE: I WAS IN A FRONT END COLLISION AT A SPEED OF ABOUT 20MPH ON A CITY STREET WITH NO ONE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE VEHICLE SUSTAINED SIGNIFICANT FRONT END DAMAGE, RESULTING IN LOSS OF THE FRONT BUMPER, DAMAGE TO THE HOOD AND TO THE FRONT ENGINE COMPONENTS, INCLUDING LEAKING OF WINDOW WASHER AND TRANSMISSION FLUIDS. THE DRIVER'S AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY, BUT IN MY ESTIMATION, IS SHOULD HAVE DONE SO. I WAS NOT INJURED SINCE I WAS WEARING A SEAT BELT. THE AIR BAG IS A REPLACEMENT AIR BAG THAT WAS REPLACED BY A HONDA DEALER IN VIRGINIA, AT THE VERY BEGINNING OF THE TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL. I AM SIMPLY REPORTING THIS AS A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE, SINCE I BELIEVE THAT THE REPLACEMENT AIR BAG SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED AS NATURALLY AS A FACTORY INSTALLED ONE.

TAKATA RECALL: I ROLLED MY CAR ON MY WAY TO WORK IN AUGUST OF 2015. I HAD GOTTEN A LETTER 2 WEEKS PRIOR OF AN AIRBAG RECALL. I CALLED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIPS BUT DUE TO HIGH VOLUME I WAS PUT ON A WAITING LIST. MY AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY AND MY DRIVER'S SEATBELT DIDN'T LOCK. I SUFFERED A FRACTURE TO THE BASE OF MY SKULL AND A TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY. I COULDN'T WORK AT ALL FOR 9 MONTHS AND COULD ONLY WORK 10-15 HOURS A WEEK FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AFTER THAT. A WEEK AFTER THE CAR ACCIDENT I WAS FIRED FROM MY JOB WITHOUT SEVERANCE PAY AND I CALLED HONDA HEADQUARTERS AND THEY TOLD ME TO KEEP CHECKING FOR CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS. I WAS DRIVING ON A BACKROAD GOING 40 MPH AND I HIT SOME LOSE GRAVEL. I OVER REACTED AND TURNED THE WHEEL CAUSING ME TO MAKE A U TURN. I HIT MY BREAKS HARD TO STOP AND MAKE SURE MY SEATBELT WOULD LOCK. THE MOMENTUM OF STOPPING CAUSED MY HONDA TO ROLL. SINCE THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY MY FACE REPEATEDLY HIT THE STEERING WHEEL AND BECAUSE MY SEATBELT DIDN'T LOCK MY HEAD SMASHED THE ROOF OF THE HONDA REPEATEDLY.

"TAKATA RECALL" - I HAVE GONE TO TWO DIFFERENT HONDA DEALERSHIPS TO HAVE MY AIRBAGES REPLACE AND BOTH DEALS HAVE INFORMED ME THAT THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. I HAVE TAKEN MY CIVIC TO OURISMAN'S HONDA OF LAUREL ON 10/18/14 AND 10/27/14. I CONTINUED TO CALL AND TAKE MY CAR TO BE SERVICE AT THAT LOCATION ABOUT FOUR MONTHS BEFORE TAKING MY CAR TO POHANKA HONDA CAPTIOL HEIGHTS. MY FIRST INQUIRE ABOUT THE AIRBAGS WAS ON 2/20/15. THEY ALSO STATED THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS. IT'S BEE OVER YEAR AND NO ONE HAS REPLACE THE AIRBAGS OR CONTACTED ME TO BRING MY CALL IN. I CALL POHANKA HONDA TODAY (8/16/16 @ 6:35) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE IS NOT A RECALL ON THE AIRBAGE FOR MY VIN. HOWEVER, THE PAPERWORK DATED 2/20/16 INDICATES THAT AIRBAGE REPLACEMENT WAS NOT COMPLETED. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY ITS BEEN OVER AN YEAR AND NO ONE HAS CONTACTED ME TO REPLACE MY AIRBAGS.

HAD AN ACCIDENT ON THE WAY TO WORK. HIT A CAR STRAIGHT ON IN THE BACK. I WAS IN MOTION. MY FRONT END WAS TOTALLY SMASHED IN. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED AND NO ONE WAS IN THAT SEAT AND MY DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY AT ALL. I AM NOW SUFFERING SUBSTANTIAL PAIN AND BRUISES ACROSS MY CHEST, RIGHT BREAST AND ACROSS MY ENTIRE LOWER ABDOMEN. YES, THE OUTCOME COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE OR EVEN FATAL, BUT I'M BLESSED TO HAVE WALKED AWAY FROM THIS. I LOVE MY HONDA AND BEEN A HONDA OWNER SINCE ABOUT 2003. I WOULD LIKE TO PURCHASE ANOTHER HONDA BUT I HAVE MY DOUBTS NOW. IF THIS SHOULD HAPPEN AGAIN CAN I TRUST THAT THE NEXT CAR WILL DO THE JOB THAT IT WAS MEANT TO DO AS FAR AS THE AIR BAG IS CONCERNED I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TWICE TO HAVE IT SERVICED FOR THE TAKATA RECALLS. I ALSO WILL ADD THAT I GET MY SERVICE DONE ON A REGULAR BASIS WITH AN ACTUAL HONDA DEALER EVEN THOUGH MY CARE IS A 2002. CHECK THE RECORDS IF I AM NOT MISTAKEN, THE RECALLS WERE FOR DEFECTED INFLATION, NOT BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T DEPLOY AT ALL. MY QUESTION IS WHY DID MY AIRBAG NOT DO THE JOB THAT IT WAS SUPPOSED TO DO?

THANK GOD FOR THE 2 INCHES AND MY AMAZING DOCTORS I WAS ABLE TO KEEP MY ARM AFTER SIX SURGERIES INCLUDING PLASTIC SURGERY. MY ARM WAS ALSO BROKE. I NOW HAVE RADIAL NERVE DAMAGE WHICH MEANS I CAN NOT OPEN AND CLOSE MY HAND ALONG WITH LIMP WRIST. ALSO BOTH HIPS WERE FRACTURED ALONG WITH MY PELVIC.DUE TO THE LACERATIONS FROM MY SEAT BELT AN ARTERY WAS CUT WHERE I LOST ALOT OF BLOOD AND WAS TOLD I WAS TOUCH AND GO AT THE TIME AND WERE NOT SURE IF I WAS GOING TO MAKE IT, AFTER BLOOD TRANSFUSIONS AND SURGERIES I AM BEYOND THANKFUL TO BE HERE TODAY. AT THE AGE OF 25 I WAS PUT ON DISABILITY AND ALSO HAD TO FILE BANKRUPTCY DUE TO I HAD OVER 100K IN MEDICAL BILLS. FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THIS PLEASE GET IT FIXED IT COULD MEAN MORE THAN YOU KNOW. I REFUSE TO EVER BUY A HONDA AGAIN 10 YEARS LATER THEY NOW SAY THERE ARE PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR. I HATE HONDA CORP WITH EVERYTHING IN ME.

2002 HONDA CIVIC LX. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO PROBLEM WITH LOW BEAM LIGHTS RECALL NOTICE. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED HIS COMPLAINT, WAS WITH THE EXTENT OF THE RECALL BY HONDA. THE LEFT SIDE LOW BEAM HAD ALREADY BEEN REPLACED EARLIER IN THE YEAR. WHEN HE INSPECTED THE LIGHT, THE END SOCKET WHICH ATTACHED TO THE LIGHT BULB HAD MELTED ON THE LOW BEAM SIDE. HE CLEANED THE MELTED PLASTIC FROM THE INSIDE OF THE FREELY SWINGING LOW BEAM TERMINAL AND FROM AROUND THE GROUND TERMINAL AND RE-ATTACHED THE SOCKET. THE LOW BEAM WORKED AGAIN. THE CONSUMER THEN CHECKED ON BUYING A REPLACEMENT SOCKET FROM HONDA, BUT HE DISCOVERED HONDA ONLY OFFERED THE ENTIRE WIRING HARNESS. THE CONSUMER WAS HOPING, THE RECALL ADDRESSED THE SOCKET, BUT HE STATED THE MAIN PROBLEM WAS AT ANOTHER CONNECTION. ALSO, THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR. A RECALL HAD BEEN ISSUED FOR THE AIR BAG AND THE CONSUMER HAD THE PROCEDURE DONE ON 03/15/12. THE AIR LIGHT WENT OFF FOR ABOUT A WEEK, AND THEN CAME BACK ON. THE MAINTENANCE REQUIRED LIGHT ALSO ILLUMINATED. THE CONSUMER STATED IT WOULD NOT TURN OFF, BECAUSE THE KNOB ON THE ODOMETER HAD BAD CONTACTS.

MY SRS LIGHT CAME ON AND CONTINUED TO STAY ON. I DID NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY. I SIMPLY STARTED MY CAR, PUT THE SEAT BELT ON AND STARTED DRIVING WHEN I NOTICED THE SRS LIGHT COME ON. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP INSPECTED THE ISSUE AND FOUND IT WAS A SEAT BELT BUCKLE SWITCH MALFUNCTION. THEY TOLD ME THAT IF THE PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED IT COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS. I WAS TOLD THAT IN THE CASE OF AN ACCIDENT, THE SEAT BELT MAY FAIL AND THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY. I HAD THE ISSUE REPAIRED FOR $295.00. AFTER RECENTLY LOOKING THROUGH OLD RECEIPTS, I FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL IN 2007 FOR THE OPDS AND THE SRS LIGHT STAYING ON. IN THAT CASE, THE AIRBAGS WERE IN DANGER OF NOT DEPLOYING AS WELL IF SOMEONE WAS OUT OF POSITION IN THE SEAT. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH CIVIC'S SRS SYSTEM AND THE SEAT BELT BUCKLE SWITCH IS AN ONGOING AND RELATED ISSUE AS WELL. SEAT BELTS ARE COVERED UNDER A LIFETIME WARRANTY BUT FOR SOME REASON THE BUCKLE SWITCH IS NOT. IN ANY CASE, I'M WONDERING WHY THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL ON THE SEAT BELT BUCKLE SWITCH WHEN IT IS A PREVALENT PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. YEARS AFTER I HAD THIS ISSUE, I AM SEEING ON THE INTERNET THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. SOMETHING AS IMPORTANT AS SEAT BELTS AND AIRBAGS FAILING IN THIS VEHICLE DURING AN ACCIDENT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED IMMEDIATELY. *TR

DOES IT REQUIRE ACTUAL DEATH OF AN OWNER BECAUSE OF A FAILED AIRBAG TO CAUSE ACTION TO TAKE PLACE? I'VE READ COMPLAINTS HERE THAT DATE BACK TO 2002. *TR

2002 HONDA CIVIC, SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM RED LIGHT CAME ON THE DASHBOARD. CAR TAKEN TO LEESBURG HONDA DEALER AND TECHNICIAN STATED SRS CONTROL UNIT INTERNAL FAILURE PER SOME SORT OF CODE. UNIT REPLACED FOR AROUND $500 TOTAL. I HAVE OWNED MANY HONDA'S FOR MANY YEARS AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THIS SITUATION HAS HAPPENED.

I HAVE A 2002 HONDA CIVIC SI VERSION. THE SRS LIGHT ALWAYS LIGHT UP. I HAVE BOUGHT MY CAR BACK TO THE HONDA DEALER TO HAVE IT SERVICE A FEW TIMES. IT WAS JUST A TEMPORARY FIX.

AS FOR NOW, I AM DRIVING AS IS FOR A LONG LONG WHILE. IS THIS A RECALL ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE FIX? *TR

I DRIVE A 2002 HONDA CIVIC EX. AROUND 50,000 MILES MY SRS LIGHT CAME ON. I FIRST WENT TO THE DEALER ON 10/6/06 WHERE THEY DID A SCAN ON MY CAR AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A UNIT FAILURE AND I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE MY SRS UNIT ($530.09). I WAS UNABLE TO AFFORD THE REPAIR, SO I HAD TO TAKE THE RISK AND DRIVE AROUND (AVERAGE 60 MILES A DAY FOR COMMUTE) WITH NO AIR BAGS TO SAVE MY LIFE IN AN ACCIDENT. I WAS TOLD TO CALL THE AMERICAN HONDA COMPANY TO SEE IF THEY WOULD COVER THE COST. THEY TOLD ME AIRBAGS ARE NOT AN IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURE, THEY ARE MORE OF A BONUS. THEY SAID IF IT WAS MY SEAT BELT THEY WOULD HELP ME, BUT THEY DO NOT FEEL AIR BAGS ARE IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO FIX. THEY ALSO SAID THEY DON'T REALLY SAVE LIVES. SOON AFTER MY DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT WAS NOT CLICKING IN PLACE, AND I AGAIN TOOK MY CAR TO HONDA ON 2/16/07. THEY THOUGHT THAT MIGHT FIX MY SRS LIGHT ALSO. BUT IT REMAINED ON AFTER THEY REPLACED MY DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BELT. AGAIN, THEY DID A SCAN AND SAID I NEED TO REPLACE MY SRS SYSTEM. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED AT THE LACK OF CONCERN HONDA HAS FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS. THEY ARE NOT INTERESTED IN SAVING LIVES....ONLY SAVING MONEY!! *TR

I'M THE OWNER OF A 2002 HONDA CIVIC THAT EXPERIENCED AN UNEXPECTED AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. THE CAR WAS NOT INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT YET THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG (ONLY THE PASSENGER SIDE) DEPLOYED WHILE A WAS PULLING INTO MY DRIVEWAY. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT IF I HAD BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE BAG DEPLOYED. SINCE THE CAR WAS NOT INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT MY INSURANCE COMPANY WILL NOT COVER THE CLAIM. THE REGIONAL REPRESENTATIVE AT HONDA REFUSED TO COVER THE REPAIR BECAUSE THE CAR IS BEYOND WARRANTY AND THEY HAD NEVER SEEN THE PROBLEM BEFORE. I BELIEVE THERE IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE HERE THAT IS NOT BEING ADDRESSED BY HONDA; IE... IF THEY AGREE TO COVER THE COST OF THE REPAIR THEY WILL BE AGREEING THAT THE BAG SENSOR WAS FAULTY. *NM

MY 2002 HONDA CIVIC LX WAS TOTALED IN A LOW SPEED 2 CAR ACCIDENT. THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER FRONT AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. MY PASSENGER SUFFERED MINOR BRUISING FROM HER SEAT BELT. MY INJURIES INCLUDED SECOND DEGREE BURNS TO MY THROAT AND THE TOP OF MY HANDS. THE EMT'S, MEDICAL PERSONNEL IN THE ER, AND DOCTORS AT THE BURN UNIT SAID THE BURNS WERE CAUSED BY CHEMICALS EMITTED FROM THE AIRBAGS. IN ADDITION TO SEVERE PAIN AND MEDICAL BILLS, I LOST THREE WEEKS OF WORK WHILE MY BURNS HEALED. THE TREATMENTS AT THE BURN UNIT AND THE DAILY TREATMENTS AT HOME WERE NAUSEATING AND AT EXCRUCIATING. THE SCARS ON MY HANDS HAVE FADED BUT ARE STILL EVIDENCED BY THE PATCHES OF RED DISCOLORATION. THE BURN ON MY THROAT HAS HEALED WITHOUT SCARING BUT I HAVE TO PROTECT THE AREA FROM SUN EXPOSURE. I MUST PROTECT MY HANDS FROM THE SUN FOR AT LEAST A FULL YEAR AFTER THE ACCIDENT AND HAVE TO BE CAREFUL NOT TO SCRATCH MY HANDS AS THE SKIN IS STILL DELICATE. THE HONDA OWNERS MANUAL AND AIRBAG BOOKLET FOR THE CAR BOTH SAY THAT THE POWDER THAT COMES OUT OF THE AIRBAG IS HARMLESS UNLESS YOU ALREADY HAVE RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS AND BREATH IN THE POWDER. THEY SAY ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT THE DANGERS ASSOCIATED WITH CHEMICAL BURNS RESULTING FROM THIS POWDER, EVEN THOUGH, AS THE EMT'S AND DOCTORS INFORMED ME, THEY COMMONLY TREAT THESE BURNS. THEY DID STRESS THAT THE BURNS WERE CHEMICAL AND NOT JUST ABRASIVE. I CALLED AND SPOKE WITH A HONDA REPRESENTATIVE NOT LONG AFTER MY ACCIDENT WHO WAS VERY INSISTENT THAT MY BURNS IN NO WAY COULD HAVE RESULTED FROM THE CHEMICALS IN THE AIRBAGS, EVEN THOUGH HE IS NOT A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL AND DID NOT WITNESS MY INJURIES. IT WAS INSULTING TO HAVE MY CLAIMS THOROUGHLY DISMISSED BY HONDA AFTER ALL THE LOSS AND PAIN MY BURNS CAUSED. MY CONCERN IS THAT HONDA AND OTHER AUTOMOBILE MANUFACTURER'S (I'VE LOOKED AT OTHER OWNER'S MANUALS) NOT ONLY FAIL TO WARN CONSUMERS ABOUT THE RISK OF CHEMICAL BURN FROM AIRBAGS BUT ACTUALLY CLAIM THAT THE CHEMICALS ARE HARMLESS! *JB

I WAS ALSO INFORMED MY AIRBAGS WOULD NO DEPLOY IN A CRASH BECAUSE OF THIS. TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM WOULD COST ME OVER $500, AND I WAS TOLD THIS IS NOT SOMETHING COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. NOT HAVING THIS KIND OF MONEY, I DECIDED NOT TO HAVE IT FIXED, BUT THE THOUGHT OF MY AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOYING IN A CRASH CONCERNS ME GREATLY!

WITH NO VEHICLE ACCIDENT OF ANY SORT, THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON MY 2002 HONDA CIVIC LX, WHICH AT THAT TIME WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. WE HAVE BEEN DRIVING SINCE THAT TIME WITH POSSIBLY NO SRS CAPABILITY IN THIS VEHICLE. AMERICAN HONDA IS AWARE OF FLAWS IN THEIR SRS SYSTEM, AND THE CIVIC IS NOT THE ONLY VEHICLE WITH THESE ISSUES (I.E.: ACCORD, PILOT, ODYSSEY). APPARENTLY HONDA WOULD BE PLEASED AS PUNCH FOR AN OWNER TO PAY $90+ FOR A DIAGNOSIS, THEN $800.00 TO $1,000.00+ TO HAVE VARIOUS SRS COMPONENTS REPLACED. I FIND THIS HIGHLY UNACCEPTABLE TO HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS ON A $16,000.00 VEHICLE. I SERIOUSLY QUESTION WHETHER THE AIRBAGS WILL DEPLOY EVEN IF THE SRS LIGHT WAS OFF.

THE HONDA DEALERS HAVE REPAIR THE SRS UNIT AND RESET THE SYSTEM SEVERAL TIMES BUT THE SRS LIGHT KEEPS COMING BACK ON. WHEN THE LIGHT COMES BACK ON, THE AIRBAGS IN THE VEHICLE ARE NOT ON AND THEREFORE WILL NOT DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS IS A DEFECT AND HONDA SHOULD INITIATE A RECALL FOR THIS ITEM. THE REPLACEMENT COST IS EXTREMELY COSTLY AND THESE SHOULD BE REFUNDED BY HONDA. *JB

MY DAUGHTER DRIVES A 2002 HONDA CIVIC LX. APPROXIMATELY 18 MONTHS AGO, THE SRS WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND SHE TOOK IT TO A HONDA DEALER. THE DEALER DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS NO FAILURE, AND TURNED OFF THE WARNING LIGHT (<$100 CHARGE). TODAY, THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN, AND THIS TIME THE DEALER (A DIFFERENT DEALER) INDICATED THAT THE OPDS UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $300, WHICH WAS NOT COVERED BY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE CAR. I SEARCHED THE WEB AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON OCCURRANCE, AND THAT THE AIRBAGS ARE DISABLED WHEN THE SRS LIGHT IS ON. ALSO, IN MANY CASES, THE REPLACEMENT OF THE OPDS WILL ONLY FIX THE PROBLEM FOR A FEW MONTHS, AND THEN THE CYCLE IS REPEATED. MULTIPLE RELATED TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED. THE APPARENT FREQUENCY OF THIS FAILURE AND THE POTENTIAL CONSEQUENCES, SINCE THE AIR BAGS ARE DISABLED, WARRANT A NHTSA INVESTIGATION AND POSSIBLE RECALL BY HONDA. *NM

WE BOUGHT A NEW 2002 HONDA CIVIC LX IN DECEMBER OF 2002. IN CHICO, CALIF. IT HAD, I BELIEVE, A 30,000 MILE WARRANTY. AT NO MORE THAN 45,000 MILES,(I HAVE THE RECEIPT) THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON. TWO DAYS LATER, WE TOOK IT TO OUR LOCAL HONDA DEALER IN REDDING, CALIF. THEY SAID THE COMPUTER SHOWED THAT THE AIR BAGS WOULD NOT DEPLOY UNLESS THE DEVICE IN THE COMPUTER WAS REPLACED. THEY ALSO STATED THAT THE HONDA COMPANY DID NOT FIND THAT PART, WHICH IS OVER $400.00 DOLLARS,TO BE UNDER WARRANTY AFTER THE 30,000 MILES WERE PAST. WE HAVE KEPT ALL THE REQUIREMENTS OF SERVICE ON THE CAR. THE HONDA COMPANY STATED THAT IF IT HAD BEEN THE SEAT BELTS INOPERABLE, THEY WOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE SAFETY GUARANTEE. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THE AIR BAGS SHOULD BE EXCLUDED IN THIS SAFETY WARRANTY. WHY IS ONE SAFETY DEVICE ALWAYS COVERED FOR PROTECTION AND NOT THE OTHER? IS THERE SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DONE ON OUR BEHALF? WE WANT TO HAVE THIS DONE, BUT CANNOT AFFORD IT AT THIS TIME. WE HAD A TRIP PLANNED FOR LESS THAN A WEEK AFTER WE DISCOVERED THIS PROBLEM AND HAD TO HONOR OUR RESERVATIONS OR LOSE MORE MONEY, CONSEQUENTLY, WE DROVE TO OUR PLANNED DESTINATION, ALASKA, FROM REDDING, CALIF. WITH NO OPERATIVE AIR BAGS AND CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE CAR WITHOUT THEM. THIS CONCERNS ME GREATLY,I KNOW FIRST HAND THAT THEY WORK WELL TO KEEP YOU FROM HITTING YOUR STEERING WHEEL OR WINDSHIELD IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SEAT BELTS, BUT IT IS OUR ONLY AUTOMOBILE. *NM

I WAS A PASSENGER IN A 2002 HONDA CIVIC (2-DOOR) INVOLVED IN A HEAD ON COLLISION WITH A HYUNDAI ELANTRA. MY AIRBAG (PASSENGER SIDE) DID NOT DEPLOY, BUT THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG DID DEPLOY. ADDITIONALLY, MY SEAT (PASSENGER SIDE) BROKE LOOSE FROM THE FLOOR MOUNTS AND DID NOT RESTRAIN ME FROM SMASHING FORWARD INTO THE DASH WITH MY LEGS AND FORARMS TAKING THE IMPACT. AS A RESULT OF THE SEAT BECOMING UN-FASTENED I SUFFERED BRUISING AND LACERATIONS ON MY LEGS AND ARMS AND NECK AND BACK INJURIES FROM MY HEAD WHIPLASHING BECAUSE A LACK OF AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. THE DRIVER DID NOT SUFFER ANY BACK OR NECK INJURIES BECAUSE HIS AIRBAG RESTRAINED HIS HEAD FROM "SNAPPING" FORWARD. TO SUMMARIZE: PASSENGER SEAT CAME LOOSE FROM FLOOR MOUNTS AND PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY.

I HAVE HAD MY SRS LIGHT COME ON 3 TIMES. THE FIRST TIME THE DEALER SAID ALL THEY COULD FIND WAS "SOFT CODES" AND RESET IT, COSTING ME $87.50 FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC CHECK. A DAY LATER THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN, THIS TIME THEY SAID THE BATTERY SHOWED LOW VOLTAGE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I ASKED IF I COULD PICKUP THE VEHICLE AND REPLACE THE BATTERY MYSELF, THE ANSWER WAS YES, BUT THERE WOULD BE ANOTHER $87.50 DIAGNOSTIC CHARGE AND AFTER I REPLACED THE BATTERY, THEY WOULD HAVE TO RESET THE CODE AND RUN ANOTHER DIAGNOSTIC, ONCE AGAIN ANOTHER $87.50 FOR A TOTAL OF $187.00. THEY SAID THEY WOULD REPLACE THE BATTERY AND RESET THE SRS TO THE TUNE OF $160.81. I FELT SCREWED EITHER WAY, SO I OPTED TO HAVE THEM CHANGE THE BATTERY. WHEN I PICKED UP MY 2002 HONDA CRV, THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID IF THE SRS LIGHT COMES BACK ON, LET THEM KNOW. THE FOLLOWING DAY, IT AS BACK ON AGAIN. HOW DID THEY KNOW IT WOULD BE BACK. WHEN I CALLED ABOUT THE SRS LIGHT, I WAS TOLD THAT THE CONTROL UNIT HAD PROBABLY FAILED AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED, BUT THAT THEY COULD NOT DO THAT UNTIL THE BATTERY HAD BEEN CHANGED. THIS SOUNDS LIKE A RIP OFF TO ME. WHY DIDN'T THEY REPLACE THE SRS CONTROL UNIT TO START WITH SINCE THEY OBVIOUSLY KNEW THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. THE CRV GOES BACK IN THIS FRIDAY TO BE CHECKED AGAIN. I DO NOT FEEL THAT HONDA IS ADMITTING THAT THERE IS A FAILURE OF THE SRS CONTROL UNIT AND INSTEAD CHARGES THE CUSTOMER NEEDLESSLY. *JB

SRS INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON FOR NO APPARENT REASON IN MY 2002 HONDA CIVIC EX, WHICH WAS PURCHASED NEW. THE FAILURE OF THE PART IN QUESTION CAUSES THE AIRBAGS TO FAIL IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION. I HAVE BEEN ASSURED THAT THIS IS A COMMON FAILURE IN THE SRS CONTROL UNIT, AND IS NOT DUE TO ANY NEGLIGENCE OF THE CAR OWNER (WHEN THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT). I HAVE COME ACROSS MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME COMPLAINTS, AND I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND HOW SUCH A VITAL PART FAILING CAN NOT BE GROUNDS FOR A SAFETY RECALL. DUE TO THE HIGH FAILURE RATE OF THIS PART, THE EXPENSE TO CORRECT IT, THE ABUNDANCE OF COMPLAINTS, AND THE SAFETY-RELATED CONCERNS ARISING FROM SUCH FAILURE, I ASK THAT THIS BE INVESTIGATED AND A SAFETY RECALL BE ISSUED.

WE BELIEVE OUR 2002 HONDA CRV HAS AN ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION. THE FIRST YEAR AFTER WE BOUGHT THE CAR THE MALFUNCTION LIGHT WOULD TURN ON AND STAY ON. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AT LEAST 3 OR 4 TIMES, BUT THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT AND JUST TURNED THE LIGHT OFF. WELL A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO THE SRS LIGHT TURNED ON. THE CAR ONLY HAS 44,000 MILES. FAIRFAX HONDA SAID THAT THEIR DIAGNOSTIC TEST DIDN'T SHOW ANYTHING WRONG, THAT THE LIGHT MUST HAVE TURNED ON BY ELECTRICAL INTERFERANCE. THEY JUST TURNED THE LIGHT OFF. WELL IT IS KNOW A WEEK LATER AND THE LIGHT IS BACK ON. THIS TIME THE DEALER SAID THAT THEY GOT A DIAGNOSTIC CODE THAT THE LEFT SIDE PASSENGER SENSOR WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. IF THIS IS TRUE, WHY DIDN'T THEY GET THE DIAGNOSTIC CODE THE FIRST TIME. IF THE AIRBAG SENSOR WAS REALLY NOT WORKING WE COULD HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT AND HAD NO AIRBAG. OF COURSE, THEY ALSO INFORMED US THAT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WE BOUGHT DOES NOT COVER THIS AND THAT IT WOULD COST US $700 TO FIX. THEY SAID THAT THIS WAS ONE OF THE FEW THINGS THAT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. WHAT A COINCIDENCE!! NEEDLESS TO SAY WE ARE VERY DISSATISFIED WITH THE CAR, THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I BELIEVE THE CAR IS TO NEW TO BE HAVING ALL THIS PROBLEMS. I CONTACTED THE HONDA CARE DEPARTMENT, BUT THEY WERE RUDE AND BASICALLY TOLD ME TO READ THE FINE PRINT. NOT MUCH CUSTOMER SERVICE.

I AM REPORTING A DANGEROUS PROBLEM IN 2002 HONDA ODEYSSEYS. IT RELATES TO THE SRS SYSTEM. HONDA HAS DESIGNED THEIR CAR WITH A "ODS" SENSOR DEVICE UNDER THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT.

THE DEALER TELLS ME ITS QUITE COMMON...HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE ARE RIDING AROUND WITHOUT FUNCTIONAL AIRBAGS?

I CANNOT SAY HOW FAST HE HIT ME, BUT THE IMPACT WAS SLOWED BY HIS FIST SIDE-SWIPING THE VAN IN FRONT OF ME. THE HEAD ON COLLISION WAS ENOUGH HOWEVER TO PUSH MY VEHICLE INTO THE STOPPED VEHICLE BEHIND ME. NONE OF MY 4 AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. AS A RESULT, I SLAMMED MY CHEST INTO THE WHEEL. I WAS WEARING MY SEAT BELT, AND I LUCKILY ONLY SUSTAINED BRUISING TO THE CHEST, BACK AND NECK. AT THE LEAST, I FEEL THE DRIVER-SIDE AIRBAG SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. THE AUTO REPAIR SHOP HAS INFORMED THAT MY SENSORS WERE NOT CRUSHED, AND THEY QUESTION WHETHER THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED OR NOT.

MY DAUGHTER WAS IN HER 2002 HONDA CIVIC SEDAN LX WHICH WAS BOUGHT FOR HER BECAUSE OF HAVING FRONT,PASSENGER AND SIDE AIR BAGS SHE WAS IN A WRECK THIS PAST SUNDAY THEY HAD TO USE THE JAWS OF LIFE TO GET HERE OUT OF THE CAR AND NOT ONE AIR BAG WENT OFF THANKFULLY SHE ONLY GOT A CONCUSSION AND A COUPLE OF CUTS AND BRUISES SHE WAS VERY LUCKY. *LA

ON JANUARY 31 2003 I REPORTED TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP THAT MY SRS LIGHT WAS ON MY 2002 HONDA CIVIC EX WHICH IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THEY REPLACED THE SEATBELT BUCKLE SENSOR STATING THAT IT WAS THE PROBLEM. I HAVE SINCE RETURNED ON DECEMBER 12 2003 AND ON MAY 17 2004 FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND THEY ALLEGEDLY FIXED IT BY REPLACING THE PASSENGER SEATBEALT SENSOR EVERYTIME. ON JUNE 5 2004 THE SRS LIGHT HAS COME ON AGAIN. SO MY ONLY RECOURSE IS TO WRITE YOU AND CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP ONCE AGAIN!! *AK

WAS DRIVING ABOUT 30 MPH AND HIT HEAD ON WITH ANOTHER CAR. I WAS INJURED DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. *JB

I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2002HONDA CIVIC. THE CAR CAME WITH FROTNAL AIR BAGS. I HAD AN AUTO ACCIDENT ON 12/14/03, LOST CONTROL OF MY CAR ON BLACKICE AND I WAS GOING 25 MPH ON I-495 EASTBOUND (LINCOLN TUNNEL/KENNEDY BLVD EXIT). MY CAR CRASHED FRONTALLY INTO THE GUARD RAILS OF THE HIGHWAY. I HAD MY SEAT BELT ON, BUT SURPRISINGLY THE AIR BAGS DID NOT GO OFF. I WAS SURPRISE THAT THE AIR BAGS DID NOT WORK, AND MAKE ME THINK THAT IF I WOULD HAVE BEEN DRIVING AT A HIGHER SPEED, I COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED SEVERELY. I KNOW THAT THESE AIR BAGS ARE SUPPOSE TO WORK AT AN IMPACT AT A MINIMUM SPEED OF 10 MPH AND IF THE CRASH IS FRONTAL. I AM CURRENTLY GOING FOR THERAPY SINCE I IJURED MY NECK, SHOULDER AND BACK DUE TO THE IMPACT OF THE ACCIDENT.*AK

THE SRS LIGHT IS ACTIVATED AND REQUIRES A VISIT TO THE DEALER TO RE-ACTIVATE THE SRS SYSTEM IF A CELL PHONE IS LEFT ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. PER THE DEALER, THE CELL PHONE INTERFERES WITH THE SRS SENSORS THAT MEASURE SEAT VS SEATBACK PRESSURE AND TELLS THE SYSTEM TO SHUT OFF. ADDITIONALLY, IF A SMALL PACKAGE IS PLACED ON THE FRONT SEAT, THE SRS DEACTIVATES - WHICH IS FINE, BUT IT MAY REMAIN DEACTIVATED AFTER THE PACKAGE IS REMOVED.

SRS INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON AND REMAINED ON. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP TO FIX PROBLEM, PROBLEM REMAINED FIXED FOR ABOUT 7 DAYS THEN RECURRED. TOOK IT BACK TO DEALERSHIP REPAIR LASTED FOR ABOUT 1 MONTH THEN RECURRED. AGAIN TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AND REPAIR LASTED ONLY A FEW HOURS. CALLED HONDA COMPANY AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS BUT TO TAKE IT BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND IF IT RECURRED TO AGAIN CALL COMPANY TO FILE COMPLAINT. ON 4TH VISIT DEALERSHIP GOT INFORMATION FROM COMPANY AND REPAIRED IN A DIFFERENT MANNER, THIS OCCURRED 5/03. HAVE NOT HAD PROBLEM SINCE, HOWEVER HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS THAT AIRBAGS HAVE NOT DEPLOYED IN ACCIDENTS WITH THIS VEHICLE, WHICH IS A CAUSE OF GREAT CONCERN SINCE THIS VEHICLE IS DRIVEN BY MY DAUGHTER TO COLLEGE. WE DID HAVE A MINOR COLLISION AT 7 MPH IN 2/02 AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, HOWEVER I JUST ASSUMED IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE LOW RATE OF SPEED BUT NOW I AM CONCERNED THAT THEY MAY POSSIBLY BE DEFECTIVE.

MECHANIC BLAMED ELECTRICAL INTERFERENCE, BUT I DON'T HAVE A CELL PHONE OR LAPTOP OR ANYONE SITTING IN THE FRONT-SIDE PASSENGER SEAT THAT HAS CAUSED THE TRIP. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE CAR DOES NOT MEET ITS DESIGN SPECS. AND IS A LEMON. AND WHOEVER HEARD OF NOT BEING ABLE TO TAKE A CELL PHONE IN A CAR ? *PH

THE FRONTAL AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AFTER AN IMPACT. I WAS GOING BETWEEN 35 AND 40 MILES PER HOUR WHEN I BROAD SIDED A VAN. MY CAR IS TOTALED. THE FRONT END IS DEMOLISHED. BOTH MYSELF AND MY PASSENGER WERE TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL AND RECEIVED CHEST INJURIES AND NECK INJURIES. THE SENSOR FOR THE AIRBAGS IS COMPLETELY EXPOSED AND CRUSHED WHERE THE FRONT END OF THE CAR USED TO BE. I DID CALL HONDA EXPECTING THEM TO BE AT LEAST INTERESTED BUT THEY WERE LESS THAN INTERESTED. I CALLED BACK AND ASKED TO SPEAK TO A SUPERVISOR BUT THEY REFUSED TO LET ME DO SO. THEY DID SAY THE AIRBAGS ONLY DEPLOY DURING A "SEVERE" IMPACT. I POINTED OUT TO THE GUY THAT THE OWNER'S BOOK SAYS "MODERATE TO SEVERE". HE JUST SAID "REALLY?". I TRUSTED HONDA LIKE MOST CONSUMERS DO. I DON'T ANYMORE. *JB

TRAVELING ABOUT 35-40 MPH ON HIGHWAY RAMP, HIT BRAKES TO ENTER CURVE, FELT TRACTION SLIPPING, CAR LOSS CONTROL & SLID ALL OVER ROAD. HIT SIDE CONCRETE BARRIER AT ABOUT 20-25 MPH, AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, MY HUSBAND SMASHED THE WINDSHIELD WITH HIS HEAD AND GOT A CONCUSSION. ROAD WAS WET BUT HAD NO STANDING WATER, OUTSIDE TEMP MID TO UPPER 40'S. THIS APPEARS UNEXPLAINABLE BASED ON CONDITIONS- WE FEEL THERE MUST HAVE BEEN A MECHANICAL FAILURE, OTHERWISE SOMETHING WASN'T DESIGNED PROPERLY. NO CAR, ESPECIALLY WITH ANTI-LOCK BRAKES, SHOULD'VE REACTED THIS WAY UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES. WE HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN THE VEHICLE AND PLAN TO GET RID OF IT IMMEDIATELY. *JB ****DIMSII IVOQ ENTRY POSTED AFTER 12/12/02 CUT-OVER TO ARTEMIS****769310

WE WERE TRAVELING ON SR 540 WHEN A DRUNK DRIVER (DRIVING A FORD F150 EXTENTED CAB) PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF US. OUR HONDA CIVIC BROADSIDED THE FORD AT A SPEED OF ROUGHLY 45MPH CRUSHING THE FRONT END OF THE HONDA WITHOUT EITHER AIR BAG DEPLOYING. THE IMPACT OF THE ACCIDENT WAS SO SEVERE THE FORD FLIPPED. THE DRIVER OF THE HONDA SUSTAINED A CONCUSION AND BRUSING FROM HITTING THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW ASSEMBLY. DRIVER ALSO SUBSTAINED BRUSING OF THE CHEST FROM THE SEATBELT, NECK AND BACK SORENESS. THE PASSENGER SUBSTAINED A CUT ON RIGHT LEG AND BRUSING FROM UNDERNEATH THE GLOVEBOX ASSEMBLY. PASSENGER ALSO HAS WHIPLASH AND BRUSING FROM SEATBELT. BOTH OCCUPANTS WERE TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL FOR EVALUATION. HOW DOES THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF A CAR CRUSH UPON IMPACT AND THE TWO FRONT AIR BAGS DON'T DEPLOY! THIS NEEDS THE ATTENTION OF THE MANUFACTURER SO THIS PROBLEM IS FIXED.*AK

MY 2002 HONDA CIVIC EX HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE SQUARELY IN THE REAR END WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 15 M.P.H.. NEITHER OF THE FRONT AIRBAGS DEPLOYED! I HAD OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR APPROXIMATLEY 7 WEEKS. THE COLLISION REPAIR CENTER COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH MY AIR BAGS. THE TOW TRUCK OPERATOR AND THE COLLISION REPAIR CENTER TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS SOME SORT OF ALERT OUT FOR 2001 & 2002 HONDA CIVICS WHERE THE AIR BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY AFTER A FRONT END COLLISION. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND A WEB SITE TO CONTACT HONDA WITH THIS PROBLEM. MY AUTO IS BEING REPAIRED BY G & M BODY SHOP, 2207 EAST 6TH, STILLWATER, OK 74074. THEIR PONE NUMBER IS 405-377-0430. ESTIMATED COMPLETION DATE OF REPAIRS IS FEBRUARY 10TH.*AK

I EXITED THE FREEWAY BEHIND ANOTHER CAR. WE WENT OVER A SMALL HILL. THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME MOVED SUDDENLY, SWERVING TO THE RIGHT LANE. AT THAT TIME, IT REVEALED TO ME THAT THE TRAFFIC WAS STOPPED. I ALSO BRAKED AND SWERVED RIGHT BUT WAS NOT ABLE TO STOP IN TIME DUE TO THE SUDDEN EMERGENCY. I HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME GOING ABOUT 40MPH. I DO NOT THINK THAT MY SEATBELT LOCKED. MY AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY BUT MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DID. I HIT THE STEERING WHEEL VERY HARD! I HAD TO BE TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL. I HAVE SEVERE CHEST CONTUSIONS AND NECK AND BACK SPRAIN/STRAIN. MY INSURANCE CO BELIEVES MY CAR MAY BE A TOTAL LOSS BUT MY AIRBAG DID NOT GO OFF??? AND BECAUSE IT DID NOT GO OFF, I WAS INJURED. HONDA WAS CONTACTED THE NEXT DAY. NINE DAYS LATER, THEY SENT AN ADJUSTER OUT TO INSPECT MY CAR (BUT NOT AN ENGINEER). I HAVE BEEN TOLD THERE IS NO REASON TO SEND AN ENGINEER OUT THE ADJUSTER SEEMED TO BE MORE CONCERNED WITH INVESTIGATING ME THAN WHY THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY IT IS THAT I DO NOT HAVE A FRONT END TO MY CAR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND MY AIRBAG DID NOT GO OFF, BUT THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AND THAT AIRBAG WENT OFF!!! THE ADJUSTER THAT HONDA HIRED TO INVESTIGATE THE CLAIM IS DALE S THUMANN, CPCU FOR CSB GROUP. HE SAID THAT IF I DO NOT GIVE HIM MY HEIGHT, WEIGHT, AND SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER THAT HONDA WILL JUST DENY MY CLAIM FOR LACK OF COOPERATION. I AM NOT WHAT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED THE CAR IS! HE WAS NOT WILLING TO EVEN TAKE THE STEERING WHEEL COVER OFF TO SEE IF THERE WAS EVEN AN AIRBAG IN THE DRIVER SIDE! HE SAID HE WAS SURE THAT WAS AN AIRBAG IN THERE ... "THEY MIGHT MISS ONE EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE. THEY MAKE MISTAKES. " (BUT HE STILL DID NOT FEEL IT WAS NECESSARY TO HAVE HIM OR ANYONE ELSE CHECK TO SEE IF ONE WAS THERE OR NOT). PLEASE HELP ME GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS! I HAVE SUFFERED A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF PAIN AND AGGREVATION FOR THIS 3 WK OLD CAR.*AK
