THE INFLATORS WERE REPLACED 3/24/16 AND 7/29/16. ON 7/5/17 MY SON WAS HIT BY A MAN RUNNING A RED LIGHT. TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT, MY SON SUFFERED NUMEROUS INJURIES INCLUDING BEING KNOCKED OUT BY THE AIRBAG AND CONTINUES TO SUFFER FROM THE CONCUSSION - I KNOW THE OLD AIRBAG/INFLATOR WOULD HAVE BEEN WORSE. ALSO, THE SEATBELT BRUISED HIS CHEST AND THE DOCTOR THOUGHT HE HAD HEART DAMAGE. ECHOCARDIOGRAM SHOWED EVERYTHING WAS FINE - JUST BAD CHEST BRUISE. MY CONCERN IS THAT EVEN THOUGH THE INFLATORS WERE REPLACED THEY, THE AIRBAG/INFLATOR, STILL CAUSED DAMAGE. 14 MONTHS LATER AND STILL HAVING ISSUES WITH TBI. MY SON IS 5'11" AND SITS AS FAR BACK AS POSSIBLE WHEN HE DROVE THE CAR. I'M SENDING 2 PICTURES SO YOU CAN SEE THAT THE CAR WAS DESTROYED. THIS IS JUST AN FYI.

I WAS IN A VERY MINOR ACCIDENT ON 12/6/14 AT APPROXIMATELY 6:00 PM IN AUSTIN, TX (ON LOOP 1 NEAR FM 2222). I REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY BECAUSE I WAS NOT GOING FAST ENOUGH (I GUESS). HOWEVER, THE COMPUTER INDICATED THE AIR BAGS WERE DISABLED. ADDITIONALLY, THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT WAS LOCKED MAKING IT INOPERABLE. ALTHOUGH THE CAR WAS DRIVABLE, THE INOPERABLE AIRBAGS AND SEAT BELT MADE THE CAR EXTREMELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. BEING THAT IT WAS SATURDAY EVENING, I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE IT. I AM VERY UPSET THAT HONDA PUT ME IN THIS SITUATION. ACCORDING TO OTHER HONDA OWNERS WHO HAVE HAD MINOR FRONT END COLLISIONS, THIS IS THE STANDARD CAR RESPONSE. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECTIFIED. IT IS NOT ONLY A RACKET THAT FORCES HONDA OWNERS TO TAKE THEIR CARS TO THE DEALERSHIP, IT ALSO JEOPARDIZES OUR SAFETY. *TR
