Problems with 2008 Honda Civic AIR BAGS

I was driving along in 6 lanes of 1-way traffic when the car to my right made a left-hand turn in front of me forcing a collision. i was in a pattern of acceleration following a previous stop at a red light and was traveling at approximately 35 mph at the time of impact. i had no passengers with me. the point of impact to my vehicle was the front as i hit the turning vehicle on the driver's left side forcing release of the driver's side airbag in that vehicle. my driver's airbag never deployed. i was wearing a seatbelt. i sustained neck and upper back strain (whiplash) and was taken by ambulance to a local ed where i underwent x-rays to evaluate for damage to my cervical spine area (negative) and treatment for pain. *tr

I own a 2008 honda civic (purchased new) with under 25, 000 miles. i immediately had to have to rotors resurfaced when i took delivery of the vehicle...as i was driving home, i could feel the brakes pulsating when i applied the brakes. i returned to the dealer and they had to resurface the rotors then. after that, the first problem i had was with the rear wheel bearings and the left rear brakes (pads, caliper, rotor). at approximately 18k both rear wheel bearings needed to be replaced, the left rear caliper was frozen, the pads were worn due to that and the rotor needed to be resurfaced. the repairs were covered under warranty and no explanation could be given as to a reason for the premature wear. at approximately 20k, i had to have the front rotors resurfaced (both right and left) due to premature/uneven wear). unfortunately, this was done by my own mechanic during routine maintenance and is not documented by honda (i spoke to honda and was told it was most likely due to "driver/road conditions and there was no way to tell since it was not repaired by a dealer). recently, i noticed the parking brake sticking/freezing and brought the car in for service. the brake pads on the right rear, were unevenly/prematurely worn and the caliper was frozen. both rear rotors had to be resurfaced again! these repairs were also covered under warranty, but again, no explanation could be given as to what keeps causing this premature wear of the brakes. also, this morning, the "side air bag off" indicator light came on and now needs to go back for service again (2nd time in a week). *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2008 honda civic. the contact's vehicle was rear ended by another vehicle. her face struck the steering wheel, which caused her nose to break and injuries to her left eye. none of the air bags deployed in her vehicle. a police report was filed. the contact feels that the vehicle is unsafe because the air bags did not deploy. the manufacturer would not assist. the speed was unknown. the current mileage was 8,300 and failure mileage was 7,980.

on april 18th 2009, the side airbag (driver's side) and side curtain airbag (driver's side) in my 2008 honda civic, deployed with no reason while i was stopped (not moving) and waiting for the green light at a traffic light. i had ringing in my ear for more than 16 hours and a bruised arm for more than 8 days. no one from american honda asked me if i was ok for three weeks. even though i took my car to the dealer right away (20 minutes after the incident happened), my car, that i bought brand new from the same dealer 10 months ago, has been sitting at dealer's service to be fixed. i have been paying for the rental car and the car payment. on may 15th 2009 (after two inspections that were performed over three weeks by american honda) the dealer gave a form titled 'release of all claims''. the service manager told me if i signed the paper the car would be fixed and ready in two days. insurance company also confirmed that there was no accident or any damage to the car. below are my concerns about the above brief description of my experience: 'why am i supposed to sign a paper to get my car fixed that should have already been fixed and covered by the warranty? 'what kind of customer service and satisfaction is this? 'does american honda have a right to do this to me? 'if they are capable of giving me a nightmare like this, what kind of rights do i have against them? 'how can i defend myself and start the procedure without a lawyer wanting to take the case (since it is not a big case in their words)? *tr

My daughter was a passenger in a 2008 honda civic 4dsd. while in a parking lot, they were cut off by another vehicle, and struck such vehicle broad side. the air bags were deployed, at which time my daughter was struck in the face by parts of the dash board. when the air bag deployed it broke the dash in such a way that she was stabbed in the forehead by the dash board pieces. i do know air bags are a good safety device.the way the dash board securing this system, broke, is not safe,and needs to maintain its base to work properly. in this case, the dash breakage, takes away the benefit expected from this airbag system. she was hospitalized, and needed 23 stitches. this could have been worse if it hit her in the eye, and is an un acceptable consequence to a low speed crash. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2008 honda civic. while driving approximately 35 mph on normal road conditions, the front and rear passenger side air bags were exposed from the outer liner. there was no deployment. the air bag warning indicator illuminated on the instrument panel and remained lit until the engine was turned off. the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for inspection and they stated that the air bags were expelling from the head liner. the vehicle has not been repaired. the failure mileage was 5,500 and current mileage was 7,256.

This vehicle was in an accident in 2008 (car was 3 months old) and written off as totaled by state farm and i never saw it again. so can not very well do the air bag recall. and by the way, the air bags worked perfectly. i walked away and bought another one.

This vehicle was totalled in march 2008 (about 6 weeks old) and was transferred to state farm insurance. it has not been in my possession since then. the car was crushed into the guardrails on an acceleration ramp by a tractor trailer. both sides of the car were damaged bumper to bumper as well as the rear, the left front wheel and right rear wheels were destroyed and ripped from the car. the right rear quarter area of the unibody was crushed. none of the airbags deployed in the accident. i advised honda motor quite some time ago of these facts. please contact state farm about this vehicle's disposition.
