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

I WAS DISTRACTED WHILE DRIVING ON S. WASHINGTON BLVD, ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA IN EXITING ONTO S. QUINN STREET/COLUMBIA PIKE EXIT AT HIGH SPEED. I SPUN OUT OF CONTROL AND DROVE ONTO AN ISLAND NEAR THE INTERSECTION, DRIVING OVER A STREET SIGN AND HITTING A METAL POLE HOLDING THE TRAFFIC LIGHTS. EXCESSIVE DAMAGE TO FRONT END OF VEHICLE, YET AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. I WAS ONLY VEHICLE INVOLVED IN THE ACCIDENT AND HAD NO PASSENGERS. I RECEIVED HOSPITAL CARE THE FOLLOWING DAY FOR WHIPLASH AND MUSCLE PAIN IN MY NECK AND SHOULDER. THE POLICE OFFICE NOTED THAT IT WAS UNUSUAL THAT THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY GIVEN THE HIGH SPEED AND NATURE OF THE COLLISION. *TR

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, I DRIVE A 2008 HONDA CIVIC EX, ON 2/16/2010 I WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT ON THE WAY TO WORK. I TRIED TO AVOID A TRACTOR TRAILER THAT WAS COMING TOO CLOSE TO ME AND BY DOING SO I LOST CONTROL OF MY VECHICLE AND HIT THE GUARDRAIL TO THE LEFT THEN SPUN ME INTO THE RIGHT LANE HITTING THE GUARDRAIL TO THE RIGHT WHICH IN TURN SPUN ME AGAIN TO THE LEFT AND HITTING THE GUARDRAIL TO THE LEFT FACE FORWARD. NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED DURING THE ACCIDENT. AS A RESULT I SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE LEFT SIDE OF MY HEAD AND UPPER, MIDDLE AND LOWER BACK PAIN. I AM CURRENTLY IN PHYSICAL THERAPY AND I AM MISSING TWO WEEKS OF WORK. THE CAR WAS SENT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP IN HARTFORD, CONNECTICUT. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD US THAT THE CAR WAS TOTALED AND WHEN WE ASKED THEM ABOUT THE AIR BAGS NOT BEING DEPLOYED, THEY TOLD US IN TURN THAT FROM THE LOOKS OF IT I DID NOT HIT THE GUARD RAIL FACE FORWARD, WHEN I ACTUALLY DID. I DID NOT HAVE ANY SIDE IMPACTS, MOST OF THE DAMAGE IS IN THE FRONT AND SOME ON THE BACK END. I AM HESTITANT TO BUY ANOTHER HONDA CIVIC DUE TO THE AIR BAGS NOT DEPLOYING AND I AM AFRAID THAT THIS MAY OCCUR TO ANOTHER HONDA OWNER. HONDA IS KNOWN TO HAVE SAFE VECHICLES HOWEVER I AM AFRAID THE NEW HONDA CIVICS MAY HAVE A AIR BAG PROBLEM, ESPECIALLY AFTER MY INCIDENT AND MY CAR BEING TOTALED.

I OWN A 2008 HONDA CIVIC (PURCHASED NEW) WITH UNDER 25, 000 MILES. I IMMEDIATELY HAD TO HAVE TO ROTORS RESURFACED WHEN I TOOK DELIVERY OF THE VEHICLE...AS I WAS DRIVING HOME, I COULD FEEL THE BRAKES PULSATING WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES. I RETURNED TO THE DEALER AND THEY HAD TO RESURFACE THE ROTORS THEN. AFTER THAT, THE FIRST PROBLEM I HAD WAS WITH THE REAR WHEEL BEARINGS AND THE LEFT REAR BRAKES (PADS, CALIPER, ROTOR). AT APPROXIMATELY 18K BOTH REAR WHEEL BEARINGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, THE LEFT REAR CALIPER WAS FROZEN, THE PADS WERE WORN DUE TO THAT AND THE ROTOR NEEDED TO BE RESURFACED. THE REPAIRS WERE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND NO EXPLANATION COULD BE GIVEN AS TO A REASON FOR THE PREMATURE WEAR. AT APPROXIMATELY 20K, I HAD TO HAVE THE FRONT ROTORS RESURFACED (BOTH RIGHT AND LEFT) DUE TO PREMATURE/UNEVEN WEAR). UNFORTUNATELY, THIS WAS DONE BY MY OWN MECHANIC DURING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND IS NOT DOCUMENTED BY HONDA (I SPOKE TO HONDA AND WAS TOLD IT WAS MOST LIKELY DUE TO "DRIVER/ROAD CONDITIONS AND THERE WAS NO WAY TO TELL SINCE IT WAS NOT REPAIRED BY A DEALER). RECENTLY, I NOTICED THE PARKING BRAKE STICKING/FREEZING AND BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE. THE BRAKE PADS ON THE RIGHT REAR, WERE UNEVENLY/PREMATURELY WORN AND THE CALIPER WAS FROZEN. BOTH REAR ROTORS HAD TO BE RESURFACED AGAIN! THESE REPAIRS WERE ALSO COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, BUT AGAIN, NO EXPLANATION COULD BE GIVEN AS TO WHAT KEEPS CAUSING THIS PREMATURE WEAR OF THE BRAKES. ALSO, THIS MORNING, THE "SIDE AIR BAG OFF" INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON AND NOW NEEDS TO GO BACK FOR SERVICE AGAIN (2ND TIME IN A WEEK). *TR
