A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

My 19 yr. Old daughter was involved in an accident on 10-4-10 in which the entire front end of her 2008 Honda CR-V ex-L appears to have been hit "head on". however, the accident occurred as she was making a left turn going North and a South bound driver ran a red light, swerved, and took out the entire front end of her car, spun her around and then hit another one. I'm writing because the only airbags to deploy were the passenger window bags (front and rear) and the steering wheel airbag. The "sensors" should have signaled the "driver side" bags to deploy. She suffered a severe concussion and we cannot determine what part(s) of the vehicle her head struck. The impact was severe enough to "break" the seat belt mechanism (it will not retreat back). The driver side appears to have taken the hardest hit from the impact. Thus, it's extremely disconcerting to me that the "driver side air bags" did not deploy. I've made the Honda dealership aware of this and my insurance company. No one seems to think it's a big deal. Sorry! I think it's a huge deal! I researched the safety standards of this vehicle extensively before purchasing it for her and safety was the #1 reason I purchased this particular automobile. Can you please help me?
