DRIVING AT 55 MPH A FORD FOCUS PULLED STRAIGHT OUT IN FRONT OF ME AND CAME TO A STOP. I WAS APPROXIMATELY 1 CAR LENGTH AWAY WHEN THEY DID THIS SO I DID NOT HAVE TIME TO STOP AND COULD NOT PULL OUT AROUND THEM BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I T-BONED THIS VEHICLE DOING 55 MPH AND THEY WERE STOPPED. MY FRONT END HIT DIRECTLY ON THEIR FRONT DRIVERS SIDE. THEIR FRONT LEFT FENDER AND TIRE WERE BENT IN AND BOTH OF THEIR FRONT AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. MY WHOLE FRONT END WAS CRUSHED IN AND THE CENTER OF MY HOOD LOOKED LIKE I HIT A TREE. NONE OF MY AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. IF I HAD NOT BEEN WEARING MY SEAT BELT I WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE SERIOUSLY INJURED THAN I WAS. WHERE ARE THE SENSORS FOR AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT? SHOULDN'T MINE HAVE DEPLOYED?

ON FEB. 10, 2008, I WAS DRIVING MY HONDA CIVIC LX ON HIGHWAY 400, JUNCTION 89, MY CAR LOST CONTROL, AND BECAUSE THERE WERE SNOW ON THE GROUND, I CANNOT STOP THE CAR, I KEEP ON PUMPING THE BRAKE, AS IF I USED THE ABS, I WOULD HAVE SLIDE DOWN TO THE VALLEY. HOWEVER, I WAS NOT ABLE TO HAVE CONTROL OF THE CAR AT ALL AND IT HIT HEAD ON THE GUARD RAIL, THE WHOLE FRONT AND ENGINE WAS COMPLETELY CRUSHED. WITH SUCH KIND OF IMPACT, THE AIR BAG SHOULD DEPLOY, BUT IT DID NOT DEPLOY, THE CAR WAS UNREPAIRABLE AND IS A TOTAL WRITE OFF. THE POLICE AND THE AMBULANCE TOOK ME TO THE HOSPITAL. HOWEVER, THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THAT THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY, AS ONE TIME A WOMAN CAME OUT FROM A PLAZA WITHOUT LOOKING THAT IT IS ALL CLEAR, HER TRUCK HIT THE RIGHT SIDE AND THE RIGHT FRONT OF MY CAR, THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY EITHER.

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. THE CONSUMER PROVIDED PICTURES OF THE DEFECT, RECALL NOTICE, AND THE VALUE OF THE VEHICLE OBTAINED THROUGH KELLEY BLUE BOOK. UPDATED 12/12/07
