| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: On august 12, 2004, i was hit head on by a vehicle that lost control and crossed from the southbound to northbound lane. i cannot say how fast he hit me, but the impact was slowed by his fist side-swiping the van in front of me. the head on collision was enough however to push my vehicle into the stopped vehicle behind me. none of my 4 airbags deployed. as a result, i slammed my chest into the wheel. i was wearing my seat belt, and i luckily only sustained bruising to the chest, back and neck. at the least, i feel the driver-side airbag should have deployed. the auto repair shop has informed that my sensors were not crushed, and they question whether the airbags should have deployed or not. i am uncomfortable about the possibility of receiving my repaired vehicle back with defective airbags and/or sensors. i will contact my honda dealer. *jb |
