NONE OF THE SIDE AIRBAGS INFLATED. THE BODY SHOP WAS DISTURBED THAT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I HAVE BEEN IN PHYSICAL THERAPY SINCE THE ACCIDENT. THE VA HAS BEEN SUPPLYING MEDICAL TREATMENT. HONDA DENIED RESPONSIBILITY ALTHOUGH THEY NEVER SAW THE CAR. MY INSURANCE COMPANY PROGRESSIVE WILL NOT REPAIR THE FAULTY AIRBAGS BECAUSE THEY WERE FAULTY BEFORE THE ACCIDENT. WESTPORT HONDA WHERE I ORIGINALLY PURCHASED THE CAR IS NOT INTERESTED IN TAKING IT AS A TRADE IN BECAUSE OF THE KNOWN AIRBAG PROBLEM. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO? I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR.
