Consumer Description

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING TO WORK BETWEEN 35-40 MPH ON A CLEAR DAY WHEN THE SIDE AIR BAG CURTAIN DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON. THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BAG PARTIALLY DEPLOYED. LUCKILY, SHE WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE, BRING IT TO A STOP AND WE HAD IT TOWED TO THE HONDA DEALER. MY WIFE HELEN, HAD TEMPORARY HEARING LOSS (SEVERAL HOURS) AS A RESULT OF THE CURTAINS DEPLOYING. EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS UNDER WARRANTY HONDA HAS SO FAR REFUSED TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND AFTER EXAMINING THE CAR COULD FIND NO REASON FOR THE CURTAINS TO DEPLOY. *JB
