2005 Honda Civic contain only the driver and the air bag did not deploy, driver sustain fractured shoulder and extensive bruising in the chest area, and swollen sternum. I love Honda but with this happening I'm not happy at all and nothing is being done to compensate me for my injuries because it's stated that Honda carries a good name, the service, and the product and yes that's what convinced me to buy but with this happening I have change my mind, because it's said that airbags suppose to deploy in the event of an accident, especially if your the only one in the vehicle. When you hit someone from the rear a sensor should react and it didn't for me. Know with this being said I think another look should be taken into consideration on when the airbag should come out. I could have lost my life. How would you feel with it was you or your love one.

Was the 3rd car in a 3 car accident on I-5 North heading to seattle going 60mph. The passenger side airbag deployed, but not the driver's side, and there was only the driver in the car.

04/22/06 auto accident. Front impact at 50 mph and airbags did not deploy. Impact appears to be just above the bumper on the right side but on the bumper on the drivers side as both fenders and the hood and the front grill and bumper were damaged. Pictures are available on request.

: 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.

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.
