Consumer Description

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH ON A TWO-LANE ROAD WHEN SHE MADE A MINOR SWERVE TO AVOID AN OBJECT IN THE ROAD. THE PASSENGER-SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS (FRONT AND REAR) DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON. THERE ARE NO MARKS INDICATING ANYTHING STRUCK THE VEHICLE. AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT, OUR 7-MONTH-OLD DAUGHTER WAS IN THE BACK SEAT, ON THE DRIVER SIDE. WE ARE GRATEFULE THAT OUR 4-YEAR-OLD SON WAS NOT IN HIS SEAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. WE IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED THE DEALER, MARTIN HONDA, WHO ADVISED TO BRING THE CAR IN IMMEDIATELY. DEALER ALSO ADVISED US TO CONTACT AMERICAN HONDA IN CALIFORNIA TO REPORT.
