Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Side airbag lights often come on and off for no reason. this has happened for almost two years now. i had called dealership regarding this situations. but they advised me that they could not do anything unless the side air bag light kept staying on. i assume whenever the light came on passenger was leaning on the chair in a certain way, but i noticed that the side airbag light would come on with or without a passenger in the seat. besides the on and off situations with the side air bag light, i was involved in a driver side impact. the other party hit on driver's side door. the impact complete wrecked the door, but none of side air bags deployed or nothing. i assumed that the impact was not hard enough to deploy the side airbag. also, many friends who also had honda accords experienced the same problem . i hope some one could investigate this problem because there was a malfunction and i could have gotten seriously injured from the accident or maybe from future accident if there was something wrong with the side airbag.*ak
