I WAS DRIVING AT A VERY SLOW SPEED OF 15 MPH ON 11/21/14. I TAPPED A CURB IN A PARKING LOT AND THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. AN OFFICER WAS CALLED TO THE SCENE AND WAS ALSO SURPRISED THAT THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED WITHOUT ANY FRONT-END DAMAGE OR WITH SUCH A SLIGHT IMPACT. A MECHANIC ALSO VERIFIED THAT THERE WAS NO UNDER-CARRIAGE DAMAGE AND WAS ALSO PUZZLED AS TO WHY THIS HAPPENED. WE CONTACTED HONDA OF AMERICA WHO WAS NOT ONLY RUDE BUT WAS NOT THE LEAST BIT HELPFUL. WE ARE HOPING FOR SOME ASSISTANCE, ESPECIALLY IN LIGHT OF THE VAST RECALL OF THE TAKATA AIRBAGS WHICH IS WHAT WE HAVE. DUE TO THE AGE OF OUR CAR, WE DROPPED THE COLLISION COVERAGE AND THE AIRBAGS WERE CONSIDERED TO BE COVERED UNDER COLLISION. WE ARE NOT FINANCIALLY ABLE TO PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE AND THIS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE US.

THIS CAR'S AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR AWHILE. THIS EXACT MAKE/MODEL/YEAR HAVE BEEN PART OF A VERY LARGE RECALL BUT THIS SPECIFIC CAR'S VIN WASN'T LISTED AS PART OF IT. I CONTACTED HONDA MORE THAN THREE WEEKS AGO AND WAS ASSIGNED A RECALL CASE MANAGER. THE CASE MANAGER SAID THEY WOULD ADD THIS VIN TO THE AIRBAG RECALL. I'VE LEFT AT LEAST THREE FOLLOW-UP MESSAGES WITH THE CASE MANAGER SINCE THAT TIME. THE VIN IS STILL NOT APPEARING IN DATABASE. WE'VE BEEN UNABLE TO DRIVE CAR FOR WEEKS AS A RESULT OF SAFETY CONCERNS. THERE HAVE BEEN WIDELY PUBLICIZED NEWS REPORTS OF PEOPLE BEING SERIOUSLY INJURED FROM HONDA'S FAULTY AIRBAGS. THE LOCAL SHOP WANTS TO CHARGE US TO INSPECT IT, WHICH SEEMS INAPPROPRIATE ON A SAFETY RECALL WHERE PEOPLE ARE BEING HURT.

THE 1999 HONDA ACCORD WAS AT A RED LIGHT. AS I MADE A LEFT TURN, I COULD SMELL SOME TYPE OF FUME COMING FROM THE STEERING. THEN SAW SRS LIGHT CAME ON AND WITHIN ABOUT 10 SECONDS, THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG DEPLOYED FOR NO ODD REASON. THE CAR AS NEVER BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENT, ALL PARTS ARE ORIGINAL AS DAY 1 WHEN WE BOUGHT IT NEW. HONDA DEALERSHIP IN RENTON SAID THEY DID NOT FIND ANY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IN THEIR TEST THAT COULD CAUSE THIS MALFUNCTION, WHY IT MALFUNCTION IS STILL IN THE AIR? THEY ARE TELLING ME TO FILE A CLAIM WITH MY INSURANCE COMPANY. AGAIN, HONDA SAID NO REASON WHY THE BAG DEPLOYED AND NO ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION. I WANT TO REPORT THIS SO OTHERS WILL BE SAFE.
