2005 HONDA CIVIC Air Bags Problems

The air bag light came on in April of 2022 indicating that the air bag will not deploy in the event of a car accident. We took the car to the Honda dealership and the mechanic diagnosed it as a bad seat-belt tensioner and confirmed that the part is under warranty by American Honda. The dealership requested the part from American Honda and they have failed to provide the part to the dealership stating that is is not available. They have given us ETAs for the part but it has never arrived. We requested a rental car to drive while waiting for the part but were denied by both American Honda and the dealership. American Honda's response is that the car just should not be driven. We cannot sell the car while this light in on but need to continue to drive the car for work. The air bag light remains on and still will not deploy if an accident were to occur causing a significant safety risk. We have not involved police or insurance representatives or any other outside parties aside from American Honda and the dealership. We spoke with a representative,at American Honda today who again confirmed that they do not have the part, do not have an ETA on the part and will not pay for a safe vehicle to drive. Considering the amount of time that has elapsed, they are clearly in violation of their warranty.

- Sensor in seatbelt, causing airbags not to deploy (airbag light is on) -Since the airbags will not deploy, this is a danger -The dealer, Avalon Honda, confirmed that replacement of this part is warrantied for life by Honda. They are willing to replace it at no cost but the part has been on "Critical Back Order" status since the problem emerged for us (November 2022). Avalon Honda has not been able to get the part (for the driver's side seatbelt) and my daughter's safety is at risk. Honda warranties this for life BECAUSE it is a safety issue. I've been more than patient and now need help getting Honda to move. -Yes there is a warning light, the airbag light is on. It first appeared in November of 2022. In February Avalon Honda obtained the part "through other means" for the passenger side seatbelt despite the "critical back order" excuse from Honda. Since February I have been waiting for the OTHER (driver's side) seatbelt sensor to be replaced. I was told in February that the part would be available at the end of April. That time has come and gone and I now need help to force Honda to act. -Part number is 04816-S5D-A02ZC

I took my car to Balise Honda in West Warwick, RI for the recall Tikata air bags. The light went off after repaired. However light then came on for Code 9-3. Seatbelt driver. A part for metal part of belt has been ordered a month ago and can't get answer and I am now due for Inspection and will face suspension of my regestration and will have no use of car.

The car runs good but will not stay in 2nd gear this is the 2nd manual transmission the factory did the same then tran#2 did the same now had replaced for 3rd time and this one's doing the same thing.

In 2019 Honda came out to fix the air bag recall. I never had problems with the air bag light coming on until after they fixed the air bag. The air bag light stays on all the time along with a check engine light. Also I’ve had to replace the whole transmission in 2019. In 2018 my engine cracked and I had to replace it with another engine. Currently the rack and pion went bad. The vehicle will at times steer on its own and sometimes the steering wheel won’t turn. I’ve spent thousands of dollars over the past few years. I do not believe Honda put in the air bags correctly. I barely had driven my car anywhere and I should not be having these types of problems. It’s a safety hazard.

Takata recall. The contact owns a 2005 Honda Civic. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V370000 (Air Bags) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect. The contact has stated that they were not aware they the vehicle had previously been in a crash or that it was missing an airbag at the time of purchase.

My mother in law was driving on a 5 lane highway and pulled out of a driveway onto the road and was attempting to make a right merge to make a right turn traveling about 10-15 mph as she was engaged in a left hand entry onto road and was about 90% complete in her maneuver and was tboned in driver side fender and door by a 2017 Mercedes’ cls at 60 mph. She was unconscious and pulled from vehicle with unknown but assumed head trauma determined later to be left frontal, right frontal, left temporal expanding hematomas in the brain, fractures of c4-c7 vertebrae, rib fractures L#3-6, #10-12, R#3, sacrum, and pelvis. 250ml R hemothorax, 1250ml L hemothorax, 250 ml hemoperitoneum, laceration of left diaphragm leaflet with herniation of left kidney into chest cavity, contusions of chest, abdomen, R arm, L arm, R leg and L leg. She died as a result of the injuries received in accident less than 24 hours later and never regained consciousness since impact. Cause of death was blunt force trauma due to MVA. She was a restrained driver in 2 vehicle MVA and police reports indicate that none of her air bags deployed upon or after impact. Other driver sustained fractured ankle with all air bags deployed. Vehicle collision occurred in state of Georgia susceptible to high humidity and high ambient temperatures. Bystanders pulled my mother in law from the vehicle as she was unconscious because there was reported fire and smoke from underneath the drivers seat that the bystanders deemed it necessary to extricate her from the vehicle prior to EMS, fire or police arrival. I suspect that the airbags SHOULD have deployed at this severe of g-force and trajectory impact. Ironic NONE of the airbags opened. Maybe she would be alive if at least one opened and did it’s job. Accident occurred on 2/9/22 and vehicle was totaled and donated to local governmental agency for fire rescue training. No other passengers were involved other than 2 drivers. Impact recorded on cctv by nearby business.

The contact's grandson owns a 2005 Honda Civic. The contact stated her grandson was driving at approximately 70 mph when he dozed off and crashed into another vehicle. The contact and her husband were driving in front of the grandson's vehicle and the contact's husband witnessed the collision from his rearview mirror. The air bags did not deploy. The contact's grandson later went to the hospital for injuries sustained from the seat belt digging into his chest and had a cut on his arm. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a tow yard, then to an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired and remained at the mechanics. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 45,000. Invalid VIN.

Mileage: 45,000

Air bag light came on due to cable reel (clockspring) failure. I called Honda and they said I would have to pay for repair and dealer said $450 cost. I bought cable reel at NAPA auto parts for $146 and installed it myself but air bag light stays on. I researched technical service bulletins and find updates to vehicle software to resolve the air bag indicator staying on even when reset. I called Honda again and they said air bags covered until 2022 but I would have to pay a dealer to evaluate the system. I repaired the cable reel at my cost and my labor and I think Honda since air bag related should cover the repair of the cable reel and update the vehicle firmware and if needed replace the air bag under the 20 year safety related federal law. Considering the history of air bag issues I would think Honda would offer to have my vehicle inspected at no cost to me and refund what I have receipts for.

The contact owns a 2005 Honda Civic. The contact stated that the air bag warning light was illuminated. Upon investigation, the contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V501000 (Air Bags) however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 130,000.

I'M NOT REALLY SENDING A COMPLAINT. I JUST KEEP GETTING RECALL NOTICES BUT THIS VEHICLE WAS TOTALED IN A CAR ACCIDENT IN 2009 SO THE VEHICLE NO LONGER EXISTS. PLEASE REMOVE IT FROM THE RECALL LIST. THANK YOU.

I HAD RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO FIX THE ISSUE. A WEEK AFTER BEING REPLACED A WARNING LIGHT CAME ON IN MY DASH , I LOOKED UP THE WARNING AND FOUND OUT IT WAS RELATED TO THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT! I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A OIL CHANGE AND TOLD SERVICE ABOUT WARNING LIGHT, WHEN FINISHED WITH OIL CHANGE I RECEIVED A LIST OF CAR ISSUES TO REPAIR BUT NOTHING ABOUT MY AIR BAG WARNING WHICH IS STILL ON.

HAVE HAD FRONT AND PASSENGER TAKATA AIRBAGS REMOVED AND REPLACED A FEW YEARS AGO. BUT THE (4-DOOR) DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG AND PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG (FRONT ONLY) HAVE NOT BEEN RECALLED, AS FAR AS MY RESEARCH TELLS ME. THE CAR, WITH APPROX. 55,000 MILES ON IT, JUST SITS IN MY DRIVEWAY NEVER USED SINCE. I HAD THE EXPENSE AND INCONVENIENCE OF LEASING A SUBARU FORESTER TO BE SAFE. I CANNOT SELL IT BECAUSE OF THE DANGER OF THE SIDE DOOR AIRBAGS WOULD KILL SOMEONE I SELL IT TO. IT IS NOT SAFE. IF I COULD AT LEAST HAVE THEM REMOVED, THAT WOULD BE SAFER THAN HAVING METAL PIECES ALL OVER ME IN A SIDE IMPACT. SCARED TO DEATH TO DRIVE IT, HELP!

Mileage: 100

DEALERSHIP (SPREEN HONDAY OF REDLANDS CALIFORNIA) FAILED TO COMPLETE AIRBAG REPAIR (DAMAGED OTHER PARTS DURING "REPAIR") AND HONDA OF AMERICA WON'T GET INVOLVED TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. DEALERSHIP DAMAGED INTEGRITY OF DASH BY HACKING OUT AN UNSEEN SECTION AS SHORTCUT, USED DUCT TAPE FOR ELECTRICAL WIRING, AND LEFT A PIECE OF DASH PADDING IN MY AC SYSTEM. THIS WAS DISCOVERED JUNE 2018 WHEN CHANGING CABIN AIR FILTER.

I HAVE HAD A RECALL ON THE FRONT DASHBOARD TAKATA AIRBAGS IN THE PAST AND HAD THEM REPLACED PROMPTLY. HOWEVER, THAT MODEL CIVIC SIDE AIRBAGS ATTACHED TO THE TWO FRONT DOORS WERE NOT RECALLED, EVEN THOUGH THE 2005 ACCORDS WERE. ONLY HAVE APPROX. 55,000 MILES. CAN I GET THEM REMOVED FROM DOORS? VERY RELUCTANT TO SELL TO ANYONE BECAUSE OF DANGER IF AN ACCIDENT. I HAD TO LEASE ANOTHER VEHICLE AND LET IT SIT IN DRIVEWAY BECAUSE OF ABOVE. OTHERWISE, IT IS AN EXCELLENT OLD CAR.

THE CAR GIVING WEIRD SOUND AND WELL AS SOMETIMES IT'S SHOWING THE AIRBAG INDICATOR EVEN AFTER RECALL SO PLEASE HELP

TAKATA RECALL - I AM HAVING DIFFICULTY GETTING THE NECESSARY PAPERWORK FROM HONDA AMERICA TO HAVE THE AIRBAGS REPLACED IN MY HONDA CIVIC AND HONDA CRV. I AM STATIONED WITH THE MILITARY IN GERMANY. THE HONDA DEALER IN STUTTGART, GERMANY WILL NOT ORDER PARTS OR REPLACE THE AIRBAGS UNTIL THEY HAVE PAPERWORK FROM HONDA AMERICA. TO COMPLICATE MATTERS I WILL MOVE BACK TO AMERICA IN 3 MONTHS, AND PLAN TO SHIP BOTH VEHICLES. THE U.S. GOVERNMENT TRANSPORTATION COMMAND STATES IT WILL NOT SHIP MY VEHICLES WITH OPEN RECALL OR SAFETY ISSUES. I NEED TO HAVE THIS RESOLVED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. WITHOUT THE RECALL REPAIRED I WILL BE FORCED TO LEAVE MY CARS HERE IN GERMANY. I SUBMITTED MY INITIAL REQUEST TO HONDA ON 26 OCT. *TR

TAKATA RECALL THE JOLIET DODGE SUPERSTORE AT 3225 PLAINFIELD ROAD IN JOLIET, ILLINOIS, 60431 SUPPOSEDLY REPLACED MY DEFECTIVE AIR BAG. SINCE THAT TIME THE AIR BAG LIGHT HAS REMAINED ON. IT IS CLEAR THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE AIR BAG THAT THEY EITHER INSTALLED OR CAUSED. THEY NOW REFUSE TO FIX THE PROBLEM EITHER THEY CAUSED OR ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR BUT INSTEAD WANT ME TO PAY $700 TO FIX THE AIR BAG. I REPORT THESE PEOPLE BECAUSE I REFUSE TO PAY ANY MONEY FOR AN AIR BAG THAT IS BEING RECALLED THAT THEY WERE NOT COMPETENT ENOUGH TO EVEN FIX! PLEASE CONTACT THEM AND ASK THEM WHY THEY ARE CHARGING PEOPLE FOR AIR BAG WORK !

SRS INTERNAL UNIT FAILURE AT 79K MILES. CAR IS 2005 HONDA CIVIC AND ACCORDING TO GOOGLE SEARCHES AND CIVIC FORUMS THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH HONDA VEHICLES (NOT JUST CIVICS) AND HONDA QUOTES A $800+ PRICE TO REPAIR RATHER THAN STANDING BY THEIR VEHICLES. WITH THE SRS LIGHT ON, THE AIRBAGS DO NOT WORK, CAR CANNOT BY SMOGGED, AND IS A SERIOUS HAZARD TO THE DRIVE AND OCCUPANTS UNTIL THE EXPENSIVE REPAIR IS MADE. CALLED HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD NOT LESSEN THE COST, NOR HELP COVER THE REPAIR IN ANY WAY.

Mileage: 79,436

REPLACED AIRBAG LESS THAN A YEAR AGO ON A RECALL. THE AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT NOW REMAINS ON. IF THE AIRBAGS WERE REPLACED IS THERE NOT A WARRANTY THAT WOULD COVER THE REPLACEMENT AIRBAG AND THE SENSOR THAT CONTROLS IT?

Mileage: 38,000

HONDA IS NOT TAKING THE TAKATA PROBLEM SERIOUSLY, AND THEY ARE SHOWING NO URGENCY TO GET THESE AIRBAGS FIXED. THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT MY CAR, LANDMARK HONDA IN ALEXANDRIA, VIRGINIA, WILL NOT DO RECALL REPAIRS ON SATURDAY. THEY APPEAR TO BE COMPLETELY INDIFFERENT TO THE DANGER OF THE TAKATA PROBLEM. THE MAIN HONDA NUMBER PUT ME ON HOLD FOR A LONG TIME, SO I EVENTUALLY GAVE UP TRYING TO REACH THEM. NHTSA NEEDS TO FORCE THE DEALERSHIPS TO DO THESE AIRBAGS REPAIRS ON WEEKENDS SO THAT CAR OWNERS WILL BRING IN THEIR CARS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, A TIRE FAILED. THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CRASHED INTO AN EMBANKMENT. THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUFFERED INJURIES TO THE BACK THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V370000 (AIR BAGS) WAS RECEIVED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V370000 (AIR BAGS) AND STATED THAT THE PART NEEDED FOR THE REPAIR WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG AND SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE RECALL FIXED. SHORTLY AFTER THE DRIVERS SIDE AIR BAG WAS FIXED THE AIR BAG DASH LIGHT CAME ON AND REMAINS ON TO THIS DAY. A FEW MONTHS AFTER THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG RECALL WAS FIXED I RECEIVED A SECOND RECALL NOTICE FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. UPON TAKING THE VEHICLE IN FOR THE SECOND RECALL I INQUIRED ABOUT THE AIR BAG LIGHT STAYING ON. THEY PROCEEDED TO TELL ME THAT THE RELAY LOCATED IN THE SEAT BELT BUCKLE WAS THE CAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM AND THAT IT WOULD COST $403. UPON MY RESEARCH OF THE INTERNET AND SPEAKING WITH OTHERS WHO ALSO HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM AFTER THE RECALL AIR BAGS WERE FIXED, IS SEEMS LIKE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. HONDA DISAGREES THAT THIS IS ANY CAUSE THAT THEY HAVE DONE....JUST COINCIDENCE THAT SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM AFTER THE RECALL ON THE AIR BAGS ARE FIXED. HONDA CLAIMS THAT IT IS A RELAY SWITCH LOCATED IN THE SEAT BELT BUCKLE. IT JUST SEEMS TO BE SUCH A COMMON PROBLEM AFTER THE AIR BAGS PROBLEM IS FIXED. I TRIED TO TELL THEM ALSO THAT MY CAR HAS A LIFE TIME WARRANTY ON THE SEAT BELT. THEY DECLINED TO FIX IT, SAYING THAT THE PROBLEM WAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. SO I ASKED THEM WHAT IT MEANS SINCE THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON IN THE DASH. HONDA SAYS THAT THE AIR BAGS WILL NOT WORK IF I AM IN AN ACCIDENT, SINCE THE AIR BAGS CANNOT TELL THAT THE SEAT BELT IS BUCKLED. SO THE BOTTOM LINE IS THE AIR BAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY IF IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE DASH LIGHT CAME ON AFTER THEY TRIED TO FIX THE AIR BAGS. THE REMEDY FOR THIS ACCORDING TO HONDA IS A NEW SEAT BELT BUCKLE OF WHICH THEY WILL NOT COVER IN THE LIFETIME WARRANTY ON THE SEAT BELT BECAUSE THEY CLAIM IT IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. IT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT AUTO MAKERS HAD TO FIX SAFETY FEATURES THAT MALFUNCTION.

ON FRIDAY, JULY 31, 2015 I BROUGHT MY 2005 HONDA CIVIC EX [WHICH WAS IN GOOD WORKING CONDITION WITH NO SRS OR MIL LIGHTS ON] TO HONDA OF KINGSTON ON BROADWAY TO BE SERVICED ON AUGUST 1ST FOR THE TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL. WHEN I PICKED UP MY CAR ON MONDAY, AUGUST 3RD THEY TOLD ME EVERYTHING WENT WELL AND THAT THEY HAD ALSO PERFORMED A "COMPLIMENTARY INSPECTION" OF MY TIRES, BREAKS, FLUIDS ETC. -- SOMETHING THEY NEVER INFORMED ME THEY PLANNED ON DOING, SOMETHING I WOULD HAVE NEVER CONSENTED TO IN THE FIRST PLACE. THEY ALSO FAILED TO INFORM ME THAT MY SRS LIGHT WAS NOW ON, AND WHAT THAT MEANS. I PULLED OVER ON MY WAY HOME TO CALL AND INQUIRE ABOUT THE LIGHT AND THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT FIT ME IN UNTIL THURSDAY, AUGUST 6TH TO DIAGNOSE IT. DRIVING HOME, MY CAR BEGAN SHAKING AND RATTLING AND BECAME ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE. I BROUGHT IT TO THE NEAREST AVAILABLE MECHANIC WHO DISCOVERED THE LUG NUTS ON THE FRONT LEFT TIRE WERE NOT SECURED PROPERLY BY THE TECHNICIANS AT HONDA OF KINGSTON, AND IT WAS CLOSE TO FALLING OFF. THEY FIXED AND SECURED THE TIRE FOR ME AND I NOTIFIED HONDA OF THE INCIDENT. THEY AGREED TO PAY THE COST OF SECURING THE TIRE, HOWEVER THEY INFORMED ME THAT DIAGNOSING MY SRS LIGHT WILL COST ME $107, AND DEPENDING ON WHAT THE ISSUE IS, COULD COST A FEW HUNDRED TO A THOUSAND MORE. I'VE NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES WITH THE AIR BAG SYSTEM OR THE SRS LIGHT, UNTIL IT WAS SERVICED BY HONDA OF KINGSTON. THE SRS LIGHT OBVIOUSLY INDICATES THAT THE AIRBAG RECALL WORK WAS NOT PERFORMED CORRECTLY, AND NOW THE DEALER IS ATTEMPTING TO CHARGE ME TO REPAIR IT. NOT ONLY COULD I HAVE CRASHED DUE TO THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE TECHNICIANS AND THEIR INABILITY TO EVEN SECURE A TIRE PROPERLY, BUT MY SRS WOULD NOT HAVE DEPLOYED THE AIRBAG, EVEN THOUGH I WAS ASSURED WHEN I LEFT WITH MY CAR THAT EVERYTHING WENT WELL AND MY CAR WAS IN GOOD SHAPE.

I HAD MY SEAT BELT ON AND SO DID THE PASSENGER. FROM THE SEAT BELT ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE, HIS INJURY WAS A PUNCTURED SMALL INTESTINE. *NM

ON THE DATE INDICATED, I WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION WITH AN ONCOMING VEHICLE WHILE MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN. THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS BY MY INSURER. THE ADJUSTERS THAT PERFORMED THE ASSESSMENT STATED THAT THE AIRBAG SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED IN THIS ACCIDENT. THIS IS A POTENTIAL PROBLEM WITH THE SAFETY RESTRAINT SYSTEM. *JB

MY DAUGHTER HAS A 2005 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID. HER CAR WAS INVOLVED IN A ONE PERSON ACCIDENT. HER BOYFRIEND WAS DRIVING AND FELL ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL. HE HIT A DIP IN THE ROAD ON CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY (BLUE SLIDE RD @ NEYMOUTH BLUFF RD). HE WENT OFF A 15 FOOT DROP OFF AND THEN ROLLED THE CAR 150 YARDS TO THE BOTTOM OF A RAVINE. HE HAD HIS SEAT BELT ON. THE CAR HAD FOUR AIRBAGS - NONE OF WHICH DEPLOYED. THEY HAD TO CUT THE SEAT BELT TO GET HIM OUT AND THEN CUT OFF THE TOP OF THE ROOF. THERE WAS NO FRONT BUMPER LEFT ON THE CAR. HE IS IN CRITICAL CONDITION IN A CALIFORNIA HOSPITAL WITH MAJOR HEAD TRAUMA AND NO FACIAL BONE LEFT INTACT IN HIS FACE. IF THE AIR BAGS, EVEN ONE OF THEM HAD DEPLOYED THE DAMAGE WOULD HAVE BEEN FAR LESS. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY IN A CRASH. AT APPROXIMATELY 30-40 MPH THE VEHICLE EXITED THE ROAD AND HIT NUMEROUS TREES, LANDING IN A DITCH. EVERYTHING ON THE VEHICLE WAS DAMAGED EXCEPT THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED, AND A POLICE REPORT WAS TAKEN AT THE SCENE. THE INSURANCE COMPANY DETERMINED THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY BECAUSE OF THE ANGLE AT WHICH THE VEHICLE COLLIDED WITH BOTH THE TREES AND DITCH. *AK

I WAS TRAVELING 25-30 MPH WHEN A BLAZER PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME, AFTER HITTING THEM...I REALIZED THAT NEITHER AIRBAG DEPLOYED ( I DON'T HAVE AN AIRBAG ON/OFF SWITCH) . THIS WAS ODD BECAUSE WE HIT DIRECTLY IN THE MIDDLE ON THE FRONT OF OUR 2005 HONDA CIVIC (4-DOOR) AND THE TOW MAN SAID THAT THERE WAS A SENOR ON BOTH THE DRIVERS SIDE AND THE PASSENGER SIDE, BUT ONLY THE PASSENGER SIDE LOOKED AS IF IT HADN'T BEEN HIT. NOW WHILE SPEAKING WITH THE POLICE MY WIFE WAS ASKED HOW FAST WE WERE TRAVELING AT TIME OF IMPACT AND SHE WAS NOT SURE, ASKING THE OFFICER "HOW FAST DO YOU NEED TO BE TRAVELING TO DEPLOY THE AIRBAGS? BECAUSE IT MUST NOT HAVE BEEN THAT FAST NEITHER ONE HAD TRIGGERED." THE OFFICER STATED WELL HE WOULD HAVE TO GO CHECK THIS OUT BECAUSE THE ACCIDENT SCENE AND THE HONDA'S DAMAGE HE HAD JUST ASSUMED THAT THE AIRBAGS WERE DEPLOYED. NOW I HAVE 7 STITCHES ABOVE MY EYE AND BRUISED CHEST AND KNEES, AND MY WIFE HAS A CHIPPED BONE IN HER NECK. I WOULD NOT BE SO UPSET BUT THIS CAR HAD ABOUT 3500 MILES ON IT AND I HAD MADE 3 CARS PAYMENTS, AND EVERYTIME I SEARCH FOR HONDA AND SAFETY FEATURES THE THING I READ THE MOST IS HOW IT HAD A 5 STAR RATING FOR FRONT IMPACT FOR AIRBAGS. I HAVE ALSO READ UP ON THE NEW AIRBAGS WITH THE SETTINGS FOR HOW FAST, SIZE, AND POSITION OF THE PASSENGERS, WHICH IN THIS CASE MY WIFE AND I WERE BOTH LOOKING FORWARD AND BOTH SHE AND I ARE FULL SIZED ADULTS AND I AM NOT SURE OF THE SPEED IN WHICH THESE NEW AIRBAGS FALL UNDER, BUT 25-30 IS STILL ENOUGH SPEED FOR A GOOD IMPACT AND WE HIT RIGHT IN THE FRONT OF OUR VEHICLE...WE ALSO HAD MY 13 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER WHO WAS FINE. BUT WITH ALL THIS SAID I DON'T UNDERSTAND WITH EVERYTHING STATED AND WE THE CAR AS FAR AS WE KNOW RIGHT NOW CONSIDERED TOTALED WHY WE ARE HURT MORE BECAUSE THERE WERE NO AIRBAGS TO SAVE US. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *JB
