2014 Honda Accord Airbags Problems

After a crash, your car's airbags did not deploy, and your son sustained serious neck and shoulder injuries. There were no warning lights on the dashboard before the crash. It's unclear whether the airbag system itself is faulty or if there was another reason for the failure.

The contact owned a 2014 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while driving 40 MPH, in heavy traffic, the vehicle was rear-ended by the vehicle behind. As a result, the vehicle was propelled forward and was hit by an unknown vehicle, and was then hit by another vehicle, which caused the vehicle to spin around and hit the concrete median, where it came to a stop. Unknown if any warning lights were illuminated. None of the air bags deployed. The contact stated it was an eight-vehicle accident. The contact suffered injuries to the head when she impacted the B-pillar, a torn meniscus on the left knee, abrasions on the chest, clavicle, and side from the seatbelt, and lower back. The contact was taken to the hospital by ambulance. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to the city impound. The insurance company was contacted. The insurance company declared the vehicle a total loss and towed the vehicle to the impound yard. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

My son and I were involved in a hit and run car accident last night my car was hit from both front and back, my son was sitting passenger and his airbag deployed however my drivers side air bag did not deploy during time of incident or at all.

WHEN I TURN ON THE ENGINE, THE CAR DASHBOARD LIGHT KEEPS SHOWING FAILED IN MOST OF THE SYSTEMS. IT IS JUST LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE!

MY FOOT HAD NEVER LEFT THE BRAKE. AIR BAGS DID NOT INFLATE. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION 2-3 MPH, ON A PARKING LOT. ACCELERATION HAPPENED WHEN I WAS BREAKING.

TAKATA RECALL:MY CAR WAS HESITATING WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. I STOPPED AND TURNED THE CAR OFF ONLY FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES, I GOT BACK IN, TURNED THE CAR ON AND IT WOULDN'T START. I WAS ON A CITY ST, SO I WALKED TO AUTO MECHANIC SHOP, GOT A JUMP, IT STARTED UP AFTER 5 TO 10 MINUTES. THE NEXT DAY, THE SAME THING HAPPEN. I CALLED HONDA, GOT SOMEONE TO JUMP START THE CAR, DROVE TO HONDA, LEFT THE CAR FOR 2 DAYS. HONDA CALLED ME STATING THAT THE BATTERY WAS GOOD, BUT THE SENSORS WERE BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

I REFUSED TO PAY FOR A BATTERY, SENT THE MANAGER AN EMAIL IN REFERENCE TO THE FINDINGS THAT THEY SAID WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IN THE BEGINING, THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BATTERY AND NOW I PAID FOR THE SENSOR AND THE CAR STILL CUT OFF. DID I REALLY NEED THE SENSORS OR WAS IT THE BATTERY IN THE FIRST PLACE? THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY AT NO CHARGE. .

AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT SYSTEM PROBLEM. AIR BAG OFF WARNING LIGHT SOMETIMES COMES ON WHEN AN ADULT PASSENGER IS SEATED. THIS IS AN INTERMITTANT PROBLEM. DEALER UNABLE TO IDENTIFY PROBLEM ON 2 (3 HR) VISITS. HONDA HQ REPORTS: WEIGHT TO TRIGGER SENSOR IS < 60LBS. WARNING LIGHT THAT AIR BAG IS TURNED OFF MAY OR MAY NOT MEAN THAT AIR BAG IS OFF AND WILL NOT DEPLOY. LIGHT MUST BE ON WHEN DEALER CHECKS AS HONDA COMPUTER DOES NOT STORE ANY ERROR CODES OR CONDITIONS, ADVISED TO WAIT UNTIL LIGHT COME ON THEN GO TO DEALER. I OBJECTED AS PASSENGER IS AT RISK OF LIFE THAT THE AIR BAG WILL PROVIDE NO PROTECTION IN EVENT OF COLLISION. HONDA STATED POLICY THEY WILL NOT REPLACE SENSOR UNLESS IT FAILS IN TEST AT DEALER ' THAT IS, PERMANENTLY BAD, NOT INTERMITTANT. HONDA HQ AGENT THEN ASKED IF THERE WAS ANYTHING ELSE SHE/HONDA COULD DO. I SAID YES, REPLACE ANY SENSOR THAT MAY CAUSE THE LIGHT TO GO ON, AND CHECK LIGHT FOR FAULTY WIRING. RESPONSE: WE'RE NOT WILLING TO DO THAT. (HONDA HQ CASE # 05056884)

I WAS STOPPED - WAS HIT HEAD ON BY AN OUT OF CONTROL DRIVER WHOSE CAR SPUN AROUND, HIT MY CAR ON DRIVER'S SIDE AND PUSHED ME INTO A STONE WALL DAMAGING THE CAR ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE ALSO. THE AIRBAG ON MY CAR (DRIVER'S SIDE) DEPLOYED AND I GOT SECOND DEGREE BURNS ON MY WRISTS AND ARMS FROM THE AIRBAG AND AM NOW BEING TREATED AT A BURN CENTER FOR SECOND DEGREE BURNS. I HAD GLOVES ON AND THE BURN WENT THROUGH THE GLOVES PUTTING HOLES IN THEM. THIS WAS A TERRIBLE CRASH CAUSING OVER $11,000.00 DAMAGE TO MY CAR AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT MY MEDICAL BILLS ARE. I FEEL THIS AIRBAG HAD TO BE DEFECTIVE. IT ALSO CONCERNS ME THAT MY CAR WAS HIT HEAD ON AND ON BOTH SIDES AND ONLY THE AIRBAG ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE DEPLOYED. ALL THE AIRBAGS IN THIS CAR MUST BE DEFECTIVE OR CERTAINLY NOT WORKING PROPERLY. *TR
