NHTSA Complaint #11122983 — 2000 HONDA ACCORD

TAKATA RECALL: DAUGHTER SUSTAINED A MEDICAL EMERGENCY WHILE STOPPED AT A LIGHT WHEREIN SHE LOST CONSCIOUSNESS, HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF HER -- PRESUMABLY NOT AT A HIGH SPEED. DRIVER'S AIRBAG DID NOT GO OFF BUT PASSENGER AIRBAG DID, DESPITE NO ONE, AND NOTHING, BEING IN THE SEAT. VIN IS NOT ON RECALL LIST (WHICH MYSTERIOUSLY ONLY GOES BACK TO MID-2001). CALLED HONDA MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY WILL NOT INSPECT CAR, AND DO NOT CARE TO INVESTIGATE ISSUE BECAUSE THE VIN IS NOT CURRENTLY ON THE RECALL LIST. IS THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG FAULTY (SHOULD IT HAVE GONE OFF), OR WAS THE PASSENGER SIDE FAULTY (SHOULD IT NOT HAVE GONE OFF-- I WAS TOLD THE LATTER AT THE BODY SHOP)? THE CAR IS NOT WORTH FIXING GIVEN THE FACT THAT ONE AIRBAG REPLACEMENT ALONE COSTS APPROX A COUPLE THOUSAND DOLLARS.
