Traction control didn’t work, and the large OEM seats did not hug my body as advertised, causing bodily injury when struck by another vehicle, “t-bone” on passenger side.

2004 ACURA TSX: I SAT IN MY CAR IDLE FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES TO EAT. WHEN I PUT MY CAR IN REVERSE TO BACK OUT OF A PARKING SPOT, THE PASSENGER SIDE CURTAIN AND SEAT AIRBAGS SUDDENLY DEPLOYED. WITHIN 5 SECONDS THE DRIVER SIDE DEPLOYED. THESE CREATED THE LOUDEST NOISE I HAVE EVER HEARD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. I QUICKLY PUT THE CAR BACK IN PARK AND JUMPED OUT AS THE CAR WAS FILLED WITH A DUSTY CLOUD. THIS CAR HAS BEEN SERVICED AT AN ACURA DEALERSHIP EVERY 5,000 - 6,000 MILES SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT.

I WAS DRIVING ALONE ON A ICY CITY STREET AND WAS UNABLE TO STOP COMPLETELY WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE WAS TURNING LEFT. MY VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 12-15 MILES PER HOUR WHEN IT IMPACTED THE OTHER VEHICLE. ON THE OTHER VEHICLE THERE WAS NO DAMAGE AT ALL AND ON MY 2005 ACURA TSX THERE WAS A MINOR INDENTATION IN THE FRONT BUMPER CAUSED BY THE OTHER CARS LICENSE PLATE AND MY PASSENGER AIRBAG HAD DEPLOYED. AFTER DOING MY RESEARCH AND TALKING TO TWO MECHANICS, I WAS INFORMED THAT IT ISN'T STANDARD OPERATING PRACTICE FOR AN AIRBAG TO DEPLOY UNLESS IT IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY FOR SAFETY PURPOSES. BASED ON THE SPECIFICS OF THIS MINOR FENDER-BENDER, THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SHOULDN'T HAVE DEPLOYED BECAUSE NOBODY WAS SITTING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND DUE THE SPEED AT IMPACT. IN MY OPINION, THIS SEEMED LIKE A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG THAT ACURA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR AND NOT MY INSURANCE COMPANY. I CONTACTED ACURA CUSTOMER RELATIONS FOR ASSISTANCE AND BASICALLY GIVEN THE RUN-AROUND FOR 4 WEEKS ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT I NEEDED TO REPORT THE ACCIDENT TO MY INSURANCE AND THEY WOULD PURSUE A CLAIM AGAINST ACURA IF THEY CHOSE TO. ALTHOUGH THESE PARTICULAR AIRBAGS AREN'T ON THE RECALL LIST, I DO BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE ISSUES WITH THE 2005 ACURA TSX AIRBAGS BASED ON THE AMOUNT COMPLAINTS I'VE READ ONLINE. I HAVE BEEN AN ACURA/HONDA CUSTOMER FOR OVER 15 YEARS AND WAS QUITE DISAPPOINTED IN THEIR RESPONSE AND HOW THEY HANDLED MY REQUEST.
