Consumer Description

I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2002HONDA CIVIC. THE CAR CAME WITH FROTNAL AIR BAGS. I HAD AN AUTO ACCIDENT ON 12/14/03, LOST CONTROL OF MY CAR ON BLACKICE AND I WAS GOING 25 MPH ON I-495 EASTBOUND (LINCOLN TUNNEL/KENNEDY BLVD EXIT). MY CAR CRASHED FRONTALLY INTO THE GUARD RAILS OF THE HIGHWAY. I HAD MY SEAT BELT ON, BUT SURPRISINGLY THE AIR BAGS DID NOT GO OFF. I WAS SURPRISE THAT THE AIR BAGS DID NOT WORK, AND MAKE ME THINK THAT IF I WOULD HAVE BEEN DRIVING AT A HIGHER SPEED, I COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED SEVERELY. I KNOW THAT THESE AIR BAGS ARE SUPPOSE TO WORK AT AN IMPACT AT A MINIMUM SPEED OF 10 MPH AND IF THE CRASH IS FRONTAL. I AM CURRENTLY GOING FOR THERAPY SINCE I IJURED MY NECK, SHOULDER AND BACK DUE TO THE IMPACT OF THE ACCIDENT.*AK
