NHTSA complaint: 2008 HONDA CIVIC — AIR BAGS
I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2008 HONDA CIVIC. I HAD A WRECK AND IT WAS TOTALED. A CHEVROLET TAHOE HIT THE FRONT END OF MY CIVIC GOING AT LEAST 65 MPH AND SMASHED THE WHOLE FRONT END. THE IMPACT WAS VERY STRONG CAUSING THE TAHOE TO FLIP. MY AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, WHEN MY CAR WAS LOOKED AT TO SEE IF IT WAS TOTALED OR IF IT COULD BE FIXED, THE ADJUSTOR SAID MY AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. WHERE THE SENSOR IS, IS COMPLETELY SMASHED. I BOUGHT MY HONDA CIVIC BECAUSE I HEARD THEY WERE VERY SAFE CARS, AND ALTHOUGH NO ONE WAS SEVERELY INJURED IN THE ACCIDENT, I DON'T KNOW IF I SHOULD BUY ANOTHER HONDA CIVIC IF THE AIR BAGS AREN'T GOING TO DEPLOY WHEN THEY SHOULD. *TR
