We were hit on the drivers and passengers sides of the vehicle by another vehicle that was travelling at an estimated 90-100 MPH, and the airbags did not deploy. My vehicle was travelling at about 50 MPH on an interstate when it was struck on the driver's side first. The force of that impact pushed my vehicle into a large box truck on the passenger's side.

"takata recall" the passenger's side airbag of our 2016 honda pilot spontaneously deployed as my daughter was driving approximately 45 MPH straight along route 195 in mansfield, ct on may 11, 2019. At the time of the deployment she had passed over a storm drain that sticks out into the narrow road. The drain causes a slight depression in the roadway, which the wheels rolled over.
