I was broadsided by another vehicle. My airbag burst when a solid heavy metal missle ejected through the shaft missing punching a hole through my skull only because I hit the steering wheel. I called Honda and they denied having any knowledge of this defect. I asked at that time if they were going to wait until someone got killed before they started some kind of recall. Well, I guess that’s just what they did. I am sorry no one at Honda listened to me.

I even tried hiring an attorney but he wouldn’t take the case because Honda denied any liability.

I was in car accident my 2003 ford ranger flipped three times and the airbags did not deploy I really need a lawyer can somebody help me.!!!!!!

My daughters boyfriend was driving our 2001 Honda Civic, while going through an intersection another woman in a Mini Cooper blew the red light causing our civic to broad side the Mini, our Air bag module (Cannister) exploded like a grenade, it was obviously made with way too much accelarant, it blew the steering wheel apart, almost ripped the bag assy from the steering wheel, smashed out the instrument panel, and showered the occupants of the car with shrapnel , luckily no one was hit in the face,my daughters boy friend was cut and permanently scared on his hand.

Notified Honda, they tried to buy the Civic from the wrecking yard, when they were told i still owned the car, they flew engineers from Honda and Tacata? the bag manufacture out from the east cost to inspect the car, at first a representative hired by Hondato inspect the car tried to tell me it was normal and caused by the impact of the collision?? I called BS, when they figured out that I with my mechanical background wasnt going to buy it, they changed theri line, after inspecting the vehicle, the airbag enginer sat back in our Civics seat and looked at me and said, well obviously this was not supposed to happen, I basically said no duh!

A few weeks late honda sent me a letter thanking me for my cooperation in the matter, and it allowed them to see what could happen in a “unique event” I contacted attorneys and basically they said since no one was grossly injured or maimed, it wasn’t worth their while, it was a few months later that the recalls came out for this problem on the Civic.

Anyone know if 1998 Civics are in the recall? My daughter was in an accident, air bag deployed with such force that it broke her arm.

My gf was broadsided and the side bag did not deploy in her 08 Civic. Have there been any updates?

Now I have a used 99 Accord and the bags did not deploy when she rear ended another car. I haven’t heared anything on those either.

I have an 2005 Acura TL. My airbag light does not always go off after starting the car. I had a mechanic look at it and was told it is because of a faulty seat belt latch. The cost to fix it is $300.00
Are safety features such as seat belts and airbags considered wear and tear items? I would like Acura to fix this for free. If I was to have an accident and the airbags do not deploy, who is responsible?

I have a 2008 Acura TL. I N AUGUST OF 2010 my air bag on the passenger side exposed itself . The metal framing which the air bag attached to was outlined on my dash. Concerned that it will not deploy when needed . I think it’s a chemical reaction when the sun hits it. I only have 20,00 miles and no response from Acura. Not happy , any one else have a similar problem ?

My wife was in her 2002 Honda accord today and got in a front end collision it wiped out the front end and the dash just about pinned her in the car it is about five inches lower than it should be she was driving about forty miles and hour and no air bags went off and the seat belt did not lock…wtf…anyone know a good lawyer

i was in an accident in april 2011 in my 2003 acura cl. someone hit me from behind going 70 mph. i hit the car in front of me causing my airbags to deploy. i dont have proof cause my car was taken away from me before i could investigate. my girlfriend who was the passenger whole right side of her face was destroyed. the surgon said her bone turned to gravel. she needed a 12 hour reconstructive surgery on her face. she now is going to have perment double vision in her right eye and have servre headaches for the rest of her life. i got the recall for the airbags ten days after the accident. i want to know if anyone else has had this problem and if so if there is a class action suit against honda/acura. if not, there should be. they should be held responsable for the injuries people have gotten from there airbags. the way the injuries were to my girlfriend there is no way that anything but the airbag could of done that to her face. i have a picture of her face right after the accident after she regained consiousness and its so centerally located in one area of her face that i know something came out of that airbag. there nothing that she could of hit her fface on that would have done that to her face.

I was I a accident about a month ago I slid on ice and hit a pole not even going 5 miles in hour after I got control of the car I just tapped the pole. My airbags deployed cut my fingers wide open I need 250 stitches in my hand. My car is a 1999 accura tl. And when my airbags deployed the sound was really loud and smoke came out it burned my pants. The passenger side airbag deployed late but when it did I smacked my mom in the face and left a burn mark on her left cheek. I don’t know how to go about this but everyone I’ve talked to told me that ur airbags should never come out just bumping a pole

January 16 2013.. I was driving back home from Walmart when I start feeling dizzy .. I start loosing my vision and I try to pull out but I don’t know how I finished in the other side of the road.. I hit my head in the stairwell and the window and my knees on the front.. My body hurts everywhere… Now I realize that my airbag didn’t work… My car is a Acura 2003 tl 3.2…

I read all of these. I believe air bags are useless, and like seatbelts, can cause more damage than good. That is why I always disable any airbags in any vehicle I have owned. Maybe that is why some of you did not have your airbags deploy, because it had been disabled.
