CAR LOST CONTROL ON THE ROAD AND MOVED OUTSIDE OF THE ROAD WHEN THE SIDE AIR BAGS GOT DEPLOYED. WHEN THEY GOT DEPLOYED THE AIR BAGS DID NOT INFLATE. THIS HAS CAUSED THE HEAD TO BE HIT ON THE WINDOWS OF THE CAR PRETTY HARD. HOW COULD IT HAPPEN THAT THE AIR BAGS GOD DEPLOYED BUT NO AIR GOT INFLATED INTO THE AIRBAGS. THEY JUST FELL AS IF A CLOTH \ CURTAIN WAS COMING OUT WITHOUT INFLATING. ATTACHED PICTURES SHOULD GIVE YOU AN IDEA.

I WAS STOPPED IN A PARKING GARAGE AND INTENDED TO PULL INTO AN OPEN SPACE ON MY LEFT. I TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL ALL THE WAY TO THE LEFT AND MY CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. IT CRASHED INTO THE CAR TO THE RIGHT OF THE OPEN SPACE AND CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE, PUSHING THE OTHER CAR INTO THE CAR TO ITS RIGHT. I WAS PRESSING THE BRAKES DURING THE ENTIRE INCIDENT BUT THEY WERE NOT FUNCTIONAL. MY CAR FINALLY PUSHED THE OTHER CAR OUT OF THE WAY AND MY CAR SLAMMED INTO THE CONCRETE BLOCK IN FRONT OF THE OPEN SPACE AND STOPPED. HAD THE CONCRETE BLOCK NOT BEEN THERE, I WOULD HAVE FLOWN OVER THE SIDE OF THE THIRD LEVEL OF THIS PARKING GARAGE. MY FOOT WAS IN NO WAY ON THE ACCELERATOR. IT WAS ON THE BRAKE THE ENTIRE TIME. ALSO, A NON-HONDA MECHANIC EXPERIENCED THE SAME REVVING ISSUE WHEN HE INSPECTED THE CAR AFTER THE INCIDENT.

CHILDREN CAN BE BURNED ALIVE DUE TO THIS HAZARD OF ENGINEERING DESIGNED TO CAUSE TOTAL DESTRUCTION FOR PROFITING PURPOSES. THE TECHNOLOGIES AT HAND ARE TOO GREAT FOR THIS TYPE OF ABSOLUTE INCOMPETENCE TO OCCUR. HONDA SHOULD BE BARRED FROM DOING BUSINESS IN THE US UNTIL SUCH ISSUES ARE ADDRESSED. *TR
