Consumer Description

CAR TYPE: 2004 HONDA ACCORD EX, WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY, SIDE IMPACT, AIRBAGS (ON PASSENGER SIDE) FIRED WITH NO PROVOCATION. LUCKILY, THERE WERE NO CARS NEAR ME. I WAS OBVIOUSLY STARTLED BY THE AIRBAGS FIRING, AND BRIEFLY HIT THE BRAKES AS A KNEE-JERK REACTION. HAD THERE BEEN OTHER CARS NEAR ME, THERE IS LITTLE DOUBT I WOULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. CAR IS NOW BEING SERVICED AT A HONDA DEALERSHIP. THEY INTEND TO REPLACE THE AIRBAGS, ROOF LINER, SRS UNIT(?), AND POSSIBLY THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT BUCKLE.*AK
