NHTSA complaint: 1998 HONDA PASSPORT — AIR BAGS
I WAS DRIVING MY 1998 HONDA PASSPORT AT A SPEED OF 35 MPH ON A CLEAR DAY, ON A STRAIGHT LEVEL ROAD. THE WEATHER CONDITIONS WERE CLEAR AND THE ROAD CONDITIONS WERE GOOD. THE VEHICLE WAS IN GOOD SHAPE WITH NO PRIOR ACCIDENTS. AT ONE POINT A VEHICLE CUT IN FRONT OF ME AND I RAN INTO THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE HONDA WAS A TOTAL LOSS. THE AIRBAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY! I SUSTAINED SEVERE INJURIES TO MY NECK. IF THE AIRBAGS HAD DEPLOYED I WOULD NOT HAVE SUSTAINED NECK INJURIES. NOTHING WAS DONE TO CORRECT THE AIRBAG DEFICIENCIES AND THERE IS NO MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE TO DETERMINE IF INDEED THERE WAS A DEFICIENCY IN THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. *TR
