NHTSA complaint: 1998 HONDA CR-V — AIR BAGS
LOVED MY HONDA CR-V , BUT ON MARCH 20, 2006, I HIT A SLICK SPOT WHILE IT WAS SNOWING. I PROCEEDED TO LOSE CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE, GOING INTO THE DITCH FRONT FIRST. HAD A FRONT IMPACT, THEN BEGAN TO FLIP 2-3 TIMES ONCE END TO END AND SKIDDING 30+ FEET. MY SEAT BELT HELD, BUT MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, I COULD HAVE DIED, AND IF THERE HAD BEEN A PASSENGER, THEY WOULD HAVE, THE WHOLE PASSENGER SIDE WAS CAVED IN. THIS WAS HOW EVER THE ONLY PROBLEM I HAD EVER EXPERIENCED WITH THIS CAR. CAR IS A VERY RELIABLE CAR. *NM
