NHTSA complaint: 2002 HONDA CIVIC — AIR BAGS
FOR EVERYONE WONDERING IF THE SRS SENSOR IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED.. I WILL TELL YOU YES!! I BOUGHT MY 2002 CIVIC NEW AND IN AUGUST 2003 I TOTALED OUT MY CAR. NEITHER AIR BAG DEPLOYED AND MY SEAT BELT (WHICH I USE TO BELIEVE IN) RELEASED WHILE MY CAR FLIPPED SEVERAL TIMES AND I WAS EJECTED. SINCE MY SEATBELT RELEASED IN THE MIDDLE OF FLIPPING SOMEHOW WRAPPED AROUND AND CUT AND BURNED MY ARM. MY ARM WAS ALMOST AMPUTATED 3/4 OF THE WAY. THANK GOD FOR THE 2 INCHES AND MY AMAZING DOCTORS I WAS ABLE TO KEEP MY ARM AFTER SIX SURGERIES INCLUDING PLASTIC SURGERY. MY ARM WAS ALSO BROKE. I NOW HAVE RADIAL NERVE DAMAGE WHICH MEANS I CAN NOT OPEN AND CLOSE MY HAND ALONG WITH LIMP WRIST. ALSO BOTH HIPS WERE FRACTURED ALONG WITH MY PELVIC.DUE TO THE LACERATIONS FROM MY SEAT BELT AN ARTERY WAS CUT WHERE I LOST ALOT OF BLOOD AND WAS TOLD I WAS TOUCH AND GO AT THE TIME AND WERE NOT SURE IF I WAS GOING TO MAKE IT, AFTER BLOOD TRANSFUSIONS AND SURGERIES I AM BEYOND THANKFUL TO BE HERE TODAY. AT THE AGE OF 25 I WAS PUT ON DISABILITY AND ALSO HAD TO FILE BANKRUPTCY DUE TO I HAD OVER 100K IN MEDICAL BILLS. FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THIS PLEASE GET IT FIXED IT COULD MEAN MORE THAN YOU KNOW. I REFUSE TO EVER BUY A HONDA AGAIN 10 YEARS LATER THEY NOW SAY THERE ARE PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR. I HATE HONDA CORP WITH EVERYTHING IN ME. I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO PLAY CATCH WITH MY CHILDREN AND WILL NEVER REMEMBER WHAT ITS LIKE TO JUST DO EASY TASKS THAT NOW TAKES ME HOURS. THAN
