TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING 5-10 MPH, THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING. THE DRIVER SUFFERED A SORE ARM AND NECK. THE DEALER REFUSED TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF FAILURE. APPROXIMATELY TWO DAYS LATER, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER INSPECTED THE VEHICLE, HOWEVER, THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 117,000. THE CONSUMER STATED IN MAY 2007 THE RECALL WORK WAS COMPLETED ON THE SRS DUE TO FAULTY OPDS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE DEALER STATED CHECK RATTLE UNDER FRONT END, NEEDS FRONT STRUTS.

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING 2001 HONDA CIVIC LX SEDAN EQUIPPED WITH SIDE AIRBAG OPTIONAL. WHILE SHE WAS 3RD IN LINE OF CARS STOPPED AT RED LIGHT, ANOTHER CAR PROCEEDED TO LEFT TURN FROM INTERSECTING ROAD AT SPEED, LOST CONTROL, AND CRASHED INTO HER DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. THAT DRIVER THEN PROCEEDED TO LEAVE THE SCENE OF THE ACCIDENT...HIT AND RUN. DAMAGE TO HER CAR EXTENDED FROM JUST FORWARD OF THE DRIVER'S DOOR, THE ENTIRE DRIVER'S DOOR, AND PARTLY ONTO THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR DOOR. THE SIDE IMPACT AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. DAMAGE TO THE CAR WAS EXTENSIVE AND THE CAR HAS BEEN TOTALED BY STATE FARM. IMPACT WAS STRONG ENOUGH TO SHATTER THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW, FRACTURE THE WINDSHIELD, AND PUSH THE CAR SIDEWAYS INTO THE CURB ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE, DAMAGING BOTH THE FRONT AND REAR TIRES ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE DUE TO CURB IMPACT. MY COMPLAINT IS WHY...

9/28/04 - ON THIS DAY I HAVE TAKEN MY 2001 HONDA CIVIC EX TO THE DEALER FOR THE 5TH TIME TO DEAL WITH THE SIDE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT COMING ON. OVER THE FIRST 4 TIMES THEY HAVE REINITIALIZED THE SYSTEM AND REPLACED THE COMPUTER COMPONENT. THEY INFORMED ME THEY WERE ON THE PHONE WITH THEIR "TECH SUPPORT" PEOPLE ALL MORNING. THE ONLY SOLUTION THEY COULD COME UP WITH IS TO REPLACE THE SEAT BACK. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS SAFETY FEATURE AS IT COULD LEAD TO MYSELF OR A PASSENGER BEING SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED IN A CRASH. PLEASE CHECK INTO THIS, AS I HAVE NOTICE THERE ARE OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ON THE WEBSITE.*AK
