Consumer Description

MY UNCLE WAS TRAVELING ON A STATE HIGHWAY WHEN HIS 02 HONDA HYDROPLANED ON A RAINY AFTERNOON AND HIT HEAD ON WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. MY THREE MONTH OLD DAUGHTER SUSTAINED SEVERE HEAD TRAUMA AND DIED AT THE HOSPITAL A LITTLE LATER. ELEVEN DAYS LATER MY UNCLE DIED FROM SEVERE BLEEDING AND BRAIN DAMAGE. HONDA SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THIS CAR. MY DAUGHTER WHO WAS 2 AT THE TIME WAS A PASSENGER ALONG WITH TWO OTHER COUSINS, THEY ALL CAME OUT FINE. NOW 6 YEARS LATER WE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ABOUT THE AIRBAGS AND I'M CONCERNED THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT SAFE ENOUGH AND COULD HAVE BEEN THE MAIN RESULT IN MY DAUGHTERS DEATH. *TR
