Problems with 2005 Honda Civic AIR BAGS

Driver involved in front-end collision, airbags failed to deploy, resulting in injury requiring medical attention. police report was filed. driver's car, at approximately 40 mph (55 mph before brakes were applied), struct the rear-end of a stationary vehicle loaded with wood. driver's vehicle deemed a total loss due to extensive damage (front end smashed, frame bent, passenger door unable to open, radiator busted, etc.). driver sustained neck injury resulting in nerve damage to arm and hand, and significant bruising about the chest and abdomen. *tr

Dt*: the contact stated the airbags did not deploy in a crash. at approximately 30-40 mph the vehicle exited the road and hit numerous trees, landing in a ditch. everything on the vehicle was damaged except the driver's side door. the vehicle was totaled, and a police report was taken at the scene. the insurance company determined the airbags did not deploy because of the angle at which the vehicle collided with both the trees and ditch. *ak

I was traveling 25-30 mph when a blazer pulled out in front of me, after hitting them...i realized that neither airbag deployed ( i don't have an airbag on/off switch) . this was odd because we hit directly in the middle on the front of our 2005 honda civic (4-door) and the tow man said that there was a senor on both the drivers side and the passenger side, but only the passenger side looked as if it hadn't been hit. now while speaking with the police my wife was asked how fast we were traveling at time of impact and she was not sure, asking the officer "how fast do you need to be traveling to deploy the airbags? because it must not have been that fast neither one had triggered." the officer stated well he would have to go check this out because the accident scene and the honda's damage he had just assumed that the airbags were deployed. now i have 7 stitches above my eye and bruised chest and knees, and my wife has a chipped bone in her neck. i would not be so upset but this car had about 3500 miles on it and i had made 3 cars payments, and everytime i search for honda and safety features the thing i read the most is how it had a 5 star rating for front impact for airbags. i have also read up on the new airbags with the settings for how fast, size, and position of the passengers, which in this case my wife and i were both looking forward and both she and i are full sized adults and i am not sure of the speed in which these new airbags fall under, but 25-30 is still enough speed for a good impact and we hit right in the front of our vehicle...we also had my 13 month old daughter who was fine. but with all this said i don't understand with everything stated and we the car as far as we know right now considered totaled why we are hurt more because there were no airbags to save us. thank you for your time. *jb

Resentments tuve un accidente con mi vehiculo honda civic 2005. el impacto fue uno fuerte en la parte delantera de la unidad; estaba utilizando el cinturon de seguridad y aun asi las bolsas de aire nunca se activaron.

Dt: consumer stated her son was involved in a rollover accident. prior to the accident the anti-lock brakes did not work and the air bags did not deploy on impact. the dealership told her the airbags could still be checked to see if they are defective. the vehicle rolled twice and the front end hit the ditch. there was dew on the road and there was a deer in the road. he then slammed on the brakes and they locked up. there was a police report filed. he sustained a bruise collar bone, bruises on his legs, a bump on his head and he has to go to the dentist this week to have his teeth checked. the vehicle was totaled and when the consumer called the dealership they told her to call and file a complaint. *nm

Have had front and passenger takata airbags removed and replaced a few years ago. but the (4-door) drivers side airbag and passenger side airbag (front only) have not been recalled, as far as my research tells me. the car, with approx. 55,000 miles on it, just sits in my driveway never used since. i had the expense and inconvenience of leasing a subaru forester to be safe. i cannot sell it because of the danger of the side door airbags would kill someone i sell it to. it is not safe. if i could at least have them removed, that would be safer than having metal pieces all over me in a side impact. scared to death to drive it, help!

Takata recall passenger/driver front side airbags need to be replaced. they were not recalled when same year accords were and are takata. the front takata airbags have already been recalled and replaced years ago. i never drive the car for fear of a side impact and cannot sell it to anyone knowing the danger involved in a collision.

I have had a recall on the front dashboard takata airbags in the past and had them replaced promptly. however, that model civic side airbags attached to the two front doors were not recalled, even though the 2005 accords were. only have approx. 55,000 miles. can i get them removed from doors? very reluctant to sell to anyone because of danger if an accident. i had to lease another vehicle and let it sit in driveway because of above. otherwise, it is an excellent old car.

Dt: consumer has a new honda civic. the srs indicator light has not worked properly since he owned the vehicle. the srs indicator light alerts consumer of potential problems with airbags or seat belts. the srs light has been on since he first purchased vehicle. took vehicle to dealer 4 times for the srs light, and the light remained on. dealer reset the computer, hoping the srs light would not come on any more, but srs light continued to come on. also, dealer replaced passenger front seat ,belt and this did not keep srs light from coming on. seat belt was replaced on may 12, 2005, vehicle was at dealer for srs light on march 31, 2005, april 29, 2005 and june 2, 2005. owners manual stated that ignoring the srs indicator could result in serious injury or death if the airbag systems or sea tbelts do not work properly. *ak
