2006 Honda Civic

LAST EVENING 5/28/2014 AT 10:10 PM MY WIFE AND I WERE RUNNING AN ERRAND WHEN A DRIVER FROM ANOTHER VEHICLE PULLED BLINDLY ACROSS 2 LANES OF TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF US. DUE TO THE FACT A SEMI TRACTOR TRAILER COMBINATION WAS IN THE LEFT HAND LANE, STOPPED, I WAS UNABLE TO SEE ANY VEHICLE IN THE SUICIDE LANE UNTIL HE WAS IN MY LANE OF TRAVEL. WE WERE DRIVING AT APPROX 35 MPH WHEN THE COLLISION OCCURRED. MY 2006 HONDA CIVIC COUPE HIT A LATE 2000'S JEEP WRANGLER. IMPACT AREA WAS TO THE RIGHT FRONT OF MY VEHICLE AND THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL AREA OF THE OTHER VEHICLE. THE SEAT BELTS WORKED AS DESIGNED, BUT NEITHER AIRBAG WENT OFF. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE CAR AND THE LATERAL ACCELEROMETER ON THE RIGHT FRONT IS HANGING. THIS SYSTEM WAS FULLY OPERATIONAL, AND HAD NO CODES STORED IN THE SDM NOR ANY LIGHTS ON THE DASH. THE IMPACT WAS LESS THAN 6 INCHES FROM THE SENSOR. MY QUERY IS TO WHY THE BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. SPEED SHOULD HAVE BEEN GREAT ENOUGH TO CAUSE DEPLOYMENT, AS WELL AS THE AREA OF IMPACT. *TR

I RECENTLY JUST REAR ENDED SOMEONE ON THE FREEWAY WHO CAME TO A VERY SUDDEN STOP IN FRONT OF ME AND I WAS UNABLE TO STOP IN TIME. MY CAR HAS $5,500 WORTH DAMAGES ALL IN THE FRONT END (AND IS NO LONGER DRIVABLE) FROM HOW HARD THE IMPACT WAS, FOR THE CAR I HIT HAD A STEEL RAMP ON THE BACK OF IT. MY AIRBAG DID NOT GO OFF AND I NOW HAVE A SPRAINED NECK, SHOULDER, AND NERVE DAMAGE SHOOTING DOWN MY LEFT ARM. MY SEATBELT DOES NOT RETRACT ANYMORE IT MUST HAVE LOCKED AND EVERY SINGLE PERSON EVEN MY DAMAGE ADJUSTER DOES NOT UNDERSTAND WHY MY AIRBAG DIDN'T GO OFF, FOR IT SHOULD HAVE! *TR

6/2013 CAR ACCIDENT I HIT A PARKED CAR TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 20-25 MILES PER HOUR. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE COMPANY CHOSEN TO DO THE WORK (CUSTOM INNOVATIONS IN EUGENE, OREGON) DID NOT REPAIR THE MOTOR MOUNTS. WHICH IM VERY UPSET ABOUT AND TRYING TO DEAL WITH. AFTER HAVING THE WORK DONE THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO HONDA (KENDALL HONDA ALSO IN EUGENE, OREGON) TO HAVE AN ASSESSMENT OF MY CAR DIAGNOSED. THE WAS THE MOTOR MOUNT ISSUE AND OTHER ITEMS OIL CHANGE, TRANSMISSION FLUSH AND THE SRS LIGHT WAS ON. HONDA SERVICE DEPT. COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE SRS AND SAID THEY WOULD GET BACK TO ME. THEY NEVER DID. APPROX 1MO. DIAGNOSIS AT HONDA, I WAS SITTING IN A PARK PARKING LOT CHARGING MY PHONE IN THE CAR WITH IT IN THE ACCESSORY POSITION. I HAD BEEN THERE ABOUT 10 MINUTES WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG IN THE SEAT AND THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAG DEPLOYED. SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF ME AND MY DOG. I SUFFERED MINOR CUTS, ABRASIONS AND SEVERE BRUISING TO MY LEFT ELBOW AND TRICEP. I IMMEDIATELY WENT TO HONDA. IT WAS A SUNDAY SO ONLY THE SALES TEAM WAS THERE. I WENT AGAIN ON MONDAY ONLY TO BE SENT AWAY, WITH A WE WILL CALL YOU.....VERY DISMISSIVE AND VAGUE. THEN AFTER CALLING 5-6 TIMES THEY FINALLY SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT TO LOOK INTO IT. AFTERWARDS, THEY DIDN'T HAVE MUCH TO TELL ME EXCEPT THAT IT WOULD COST ME THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO REPAIR AND NO THEY DIDN'T HAVE AN ANSWER FOR WHY THE AIRBAGS WENT OFF. ESSENTIALLY I FEEL THAT THE AIRBAGS SHOULD BE REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE IN ADDITION TO THE SRS SENSORS ALL BEING REPLACED BECAUSE I HAVE A FEELING THIS WAS ALL DUE TO THE RECALL ON THE PASSENGER SEAT OCCUPANT DETECTION SYSTEM.....WHICH I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT NOR HAVE IT CHECKED PRIOR TO ANY OF THE MENTIONS EVENTS. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THERE IS A CHANCE THE OTHER AIRBAGS MAY DEPLOY AT RANDOM. I ALSO WOULD LIKE MY CAR TO HAVE ALL THE RECALLS COMPLETED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CIVIC LX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AS THE ENGINE BEGAN TO OPERATE ROUGHLY. THE VEHICLE ALSO BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY. THE CONTACT THEN HASTILY EXITED THE VEHICLE AND FAILED TO SECURE THE VEHICLE IN PARK. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ROLL DOWNHILL AND CRASHED INTO AN EMBANKMENT. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS REMOVED FROM THE EMBANKMENT BY A TOW TRUCK AND TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHERE THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THE AIR BAG MODULE HAD FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AN EXPLOSIVE SOUND CAME FROM THE SEAT BELT. THE CONTACT WAS NO LONGER ABLE TO UTILIZE THE SEAT BELT AND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER WHERE ND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE SEAT BELT TENSIONER FAILED. AS A RESULT, THE AIR BAG WAS NO LONGER OPERABLE. THE DEALER EXPLAINED THAT THE AIR BAG AND SEAT BELTS WERE CONNECTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 100,000.

AROUND MAY OF 2013, I WAS DRIVING TO WORK WHEN THE SRS SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. THAT SAME DAY, I DROVE TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP, THE SERVIDE DEPARTMENT OF WHICH TOLD ME THAT ALL THEY COULD DO WAS RESET THE LIGHT BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT READ THE CODE. THE SERVICE GUY THEN TOLD ME THAT IN THE EVENT THE LIGHT COMES BACK ON, THEN I WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE AIRBAGS. DURING THAT TIME, THE LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND OFF. WHEN OFF, THE LIGHT WOULD COME ON WHENEVER I DROVE OVER AN UNEVEN TERRAIN. I WENT TO YET ANOTHER DEALERSHIP WHO COULD NOT TELL ME ANYTHING SUBSTANTIAL ABOUT THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THE LIGHT WAS OFF WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR IN. AROUND MID-JUNE, THE SRS LIGHT STARTED COMING AND STAYING ON. I CALLED HONDA THIS MORNING TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANY RECALL AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL RELATED TO THIS ISSUE AND THAT I CANNOT BE HELPED. I AM TAKING MY CAR IN AGAIN TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, SO THAT AT LEAST I CAN PINPOINT THE ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE IN THAT IT APPEARS THAT WITH THIS LIGHT ON, MY AIRBAG SYSTEM IS DISABLED. IN THE EVENT I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT, I WILL NOT BE PROTECTED. THIS IS ESSENTIALLY DISTURBING BECAUSE MY AIRBAGS HAVE NEVER DEPLOYED SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY I HAVE TO PAY FOR A FAULTY AIRBAG SYSTEM THAT HAS REALLY NEVER BEEN PUT TO USE. I REALLY HOPE THAT HONDA FIND A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. *TR
