Consumer Description

MY DAUGHTER (18 YRS. OF AGE) RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2002 HONDA CIVIC AND WAS INVOLVED IN AN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT. IN THIS ACCIDENT THE UNFORTUNATE THING WAS HER AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY AND HER CHEST HIT THE STEERING WHEEL. SHE WAS TAKEN BY AMBULANCE TO A LOCAL HOSPITAL. X-RAYS WERE DONE AND SHE WAS JUST BRUISED AND NO BROKEN BONES. SHE MAY HAVE NOT SUSTAINED ANY INJURIES IF THE AIR BAG WOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. I KNOW HONDA HAS HAD LAW SUITS FILED AGAINST THEM BECAUSE OF AIR BAGS DEPLOYING AND CAUSING INJURY, BUT IN HER CASE IT CAUSED INJURY THAT MAYBE COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF IT HAD DEPLOYED. THANKS *TR
