The drivers side curtain airbag and drivers side seat belt retention airbag deployed while driving without an impact/collision. It is available for inspection. The airbags deploying while driving blocked my vision and was a completely terrifying distraction. I brought the car to my local Honda dealership for inspection and they confirmed the airbags were deployed without an impact. Honda refuses to give me the inspection report. There were no warning lights or symptoms.

On [XXX], my daughter rear-ended a stopped vehicle while trying to merge. She was driving approximately 60-70mph at the time of impact. The front end of her car was completely smashed and the insurance company deemed it a total loss. Despite the force and speed at impact, her airbags did not deploy. She hit her head on the steering wheel, causing a concussion. She continues to suffer from the effects of the concussion. She is under the car of a neurologist and chiropractor. I contacted Honda to report this on 10.3.2023 and was told to "wait by the phone" because someone would be calling me back immediately as it was a high priority case. The case number is [XXX]. No one has called me. I called back on 10.6.2023 to notify them that the car insurance company was taking possession of the car and was told to take pictures. I have never received a call back for additional details. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

SINCE THE REPAIR, MY AIRBAG LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF AND I HAVE CALLED SEVERAL TIMES TO INFORM SERRA HONDA SERVICE PERSONNEL. SERRA HONDA PERSONNEL HAS INFORMED ME THAT THE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT BEING ON HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THAT IF I BROUGHT IT BACK, THERE WOULD BE A MINIMUM OF $140 CHARGE TO LOOK AT MY AIRBAG. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. ALTHOUGH THE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY, IT IS STILL A CONCERN FOR ME ESPECIALLY SINCE MY FIANCE IS THE PRIMARY DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE. IT HAS BEEN TITLED TO HER. TERRA T. FOSTER. THANK YOU FOR LOOKING INTO THIS FOR ME.
