TRAVELING ON A CITY STREET THROUGH AN INTERSECTION STARTING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN MOVING ABOUT 20 MPH, MY RIGHT PASSENGER FRONT TIRE HIT A POTHOLE. THAT IS WHEN THE LEFT DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. I FIND IT VERY DISTURBING THAT AIRBAGS WOULD DEPLOY IN THESE CONDITIONS, AS THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. I HIT NOTHING, MEANING THERE WAS NO IMPACT TO THE BODY OF THE CAR, YET THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND FRIGHTENED ME TO THE POINT WHERE I HAD TO STOP IN THE INTERSECTION TO GATHER MYSELF BACK TOGETHER. HONDA TELLS ME THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS WITH MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE, BUT THERE ARE PLENTY NOTED WITH MY MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR, BUT JUST NOT WITH MINE IN PARTICULAR. I HAVE CALLED HONDA AMERICA AND PLEADED MY CASE WITH THEM AS WELL, AND THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT I HAVE TO GO THROUGH MY INSURANCE COMPANY, WHICH I DO NOT THINK IS APPROPRIATE. THERE HAS TO BE A DEFECT IN WITH THIS VEHICLE FOR THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY AT SUCH A LOW SPEED WITH A POTHOLE. ADDITIONALLY, THE POTHOLE WAS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, YET THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOY. SOMETHING IS JUST NOT RIGHT WITH THE CAR AND HONDA IS NOT ACKNOWLEDGING IT. I ALSO TOLD HONDA I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR NOW, I FEEL THAT IF I HIT ANOTHER BUMP IN THE ROAD AN AIRBAG IS GOING TO DEPLOY. IT'S A SCARY SITUATION, BUT HONDA DOES NOT SEEM TO CARE ABOUT IT. PLEASE BRING THIS CASE TO THEM, AS SOMEONE THERE IN UPPER MANAGEMENT NEEDS TO KNOW THAT THESE TYPES OF THINGS ARE GOING ON, AND THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE PEOPLE JUST DON'T SEEM TO CARE. THIS SHOULD BE REPAIRED AND COVERED COMPLETELY BY HONDA, AS I DID NOTHING WRONG, BUT LEFT WITH A BIG MESS AND A BIG BILL TO CLEAN UP. PICTURES ATTACHED. THANK YOU.

ON JAN 16, 2018 I WAS DRIVING SOUTH ON E. KINGS, SHREVEPORT, LA IN THE RIGHT LANE OF A 4-LANE ROAD AT APPROXIMATELY 3:40PM. IT HAD SNOWED THE PREVIOUS DAY AND THERE WERE STILL PATCHES OF ICE ON ROADWAYS IN MANY SPOTS. AS I APPROACHED ONE OF THOSE ICE PATCHES AT APPROXIMATELY 30MPH, WHICH COVERED BOTH LANES IN THE SOUTHERLY DIRECTION I WAS HEADED, AN SUV BEHIND ME AND TRAVELLING THE SAME DIRECTION BEGAN TO PASS MY VEHICLE, LOST CONTROL OF HIS VEHICLE ON THE ICE AND INTO NORTHBOUND LANE AND WHEN HE HIT DRY PAVEMENT ON THAT SIDE OF ROAD VEERED SHARPLY RIGHT AND HIT MY CAR BROADSIDE WITH THE FRONT RIGHT CORNER OF HIS VEHICLE. NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED IN THE HONDA AND MY HEAD WAS BANGED AGAINST THE INSIDE PILLAR ON DRIVERS SIDE. COLLISION RESULTED IN DAMAGE TO THE HONDA'S DRIVER DOOR, LEFT REAR DOOR SEVERELY DAMAGED AND PULLED SLIGHTLY FROM VEHICLE; AND LIGHT DAMAGE ON LEFT REAR QUARTER PANEL. BOTH VEHICLES REMAINED IN MOTION UNTIL THE COLLISION. SUV SPUN AGAIN AFTER IMPACT & CAME TO A STOP BLOCKING BOTH SOUTHBOUND LANES WITH FRONT OF VEHICLE FACING THE NORTHBOUND LANES. II WAS USING MY SEATBELT AS I ALWAYS DO. I FIND IT UNBELIEVABLE THAT CONSIDERING THE SPEED OF THE SUV WHEN IT HIT MY HONDA, THE DAMAGE IT INFLICTED ON THE HONDA, AND THE FACT IT SPUN THE SUV BACK AROUND COMPLETELY FACING ANOTHER DIRECTION (IMAGE SUV 1) THAT AT LEAST THE SIDE AIRBAG SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED ON HONDA.

I WAS IN A CRASH YESTERDAY 04/18/17 AT AROUND 4:55-5:00PM DUE TO MY BRAKES NOT REACTING AS THEY SHOULD AND STOPPING MY CAR. I REAR ENDED A CAR BECAUSE OF THIS AND MY FRONT OF MY CAR IS COMPLETELY TOTALED. I HAVE FILED A CLAIM WITH MY INSURANCE, BUT THIS WAS A FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE. MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, AND NOTICED THAT MY SEATBELT HAD UNFASTENED AFTER THE INCIDENT. I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, AND WAS IN TRAFFIC ON THE 405 SOUTHBOUND GETTING CLOSE TO THE 22 FWY EXIT BY SEAL BEACH. IF I WAS GOING FASTER THAN CRUISING SPEED, WHO KNOWS WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE OUTCOME, SEEING THAT THESE 3 RED FLAGS OCCURRED.

2012 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY DURING ACCIDENT. *SMD ..UPDATED 10/27/15*BF

NHTSA ODI 10743249

RECENTLY MY AIR BAG INDICATOR STARTED COMING ON AND STAYING ON AT RANDOM INTERVALS IN MY 2012 HONDA ACCORD. TODAY (MAY 11, 2015) I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND HAD THEM CHECK THE MATTER. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE SAID THE "AIR BAG SWITCH IS FAILING" AND RECOMMENDED THAT IT BE REPLACED. THE COST OF REPLACEMENT IS $205.00 PLUS TAX. PRIOR TO GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP, I RESEARCHED THE MATTER TO DETERMINE IF THERE WAS A RECALL RELATED TO THE AIR BAGS, AND I FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL. I MADE THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE AWARE OF THIS. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE SAID THE RECALL WOULD NOT APPLY TO MY SITUATION BECAUSE MY PROBLEM IS RELATED TO THE "AIR BAG SWITCH." IT WOULD SEEM THAT BECAUSE THIS IS AN INTERRELATED AND INTEGRATED SYSTEM, THE RECALL WOULD APPLY. IF THE "SWITCH" IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY, THIS COULD BE THE REASON THE AIR BAGS DO NOT DEPLOY PROPERLY. I NEVER RECEIVED A NOTICE ABOUT A RECALL. I PURCHASED THE CAR IN OCTOBER 2011, BUT THE CAR IS A 2012 ACCORD. THE THREE-YEAR WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED, BUT THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 32,852 MILES AS OF TODAY'S SERVICE. IS THIS "FAILING SWITCH" COVERED BY THE RECALL? SHOULD I HAVE RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION ABOUT THE AIR BAG RECALL? DO I HAVE ANY RECOURSE?
