2011 Honda Accord Air Bags & Restraints Problems

The contact owns a 2011 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while his wife was driving 35 MPH with her son inside the vehicle, the driver’s side and the driver’s seat air bags deployed unexpectedly. Neither independent mechanic nor the dealer was contacted. The vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 172,000.

The drivers side curtain airbag and drivers side seat belt retention airbag deployed while driving without an impact/collision. It is available for inspection. The airbags deploying while driving blocked my vision and was a completely terrifying distraction. I brought the car to my local Honda dealership for inspection and they confirmed the airbags were deployed without an impact. Honda refuses to give me the inspection report. There were no warning lights or symptoms.

I don't remember the exact days but the air bag light comes on twice

The light suddenly came on stating the side air bag is off. Meaning during a collision it won't dobiys part

THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A VEHICLE ACCIDENT BACK IN OCT 2023. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.

On [XXX], my daughter rear-ended a stopped vehicle while trying to merge. She was driving approximately 60-70mph at the time of impact. The front end of her car was completely smashed and the insurance company deemed it a total loss. Despite the force and speed at impact, her airbags did not deploy. She hit her head on the steering wheel, causing a concussion. She continues to suffer from the effects of the concussion. She is under the car of a neurologist and chiropractor. I contacted Honda to report this on 10.3.2023 and was told to "wait by the phone" because someone would be calling me back immediately as it was a high priority case. The case number is [XXX]. No one has called me. I called back on 10.6.2023 to notify them that the car insurance company was taking possession of the car and was told to take pictures. I have never received a call back for additional details. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I HAVE RESPONDED TO HONDA'S RECALL NOTICES FOR AIRBAG REPAIRS ON THIS 2011 CAR SEVERAL TIMES AND TOLD THEM THAT THE CAR WAS LEASED IN 2011 AND RETURNED TO HONDA IN 2014.

ON THE LAST NOTICE THAT I RECEIVED, I WROTE ON THE INFORMATION CHANGE CARD PROVIDED THAT THE CAR WAS RETURNED AT JOYCE HONDA IN DENVILLE, NJ WHEN I LEASED A 2014 HONDA. I ALSO WROTE THAT I WOULD NOTIFY NHTSA OF HONDA'S INABILITY TO CORRECT THE RECALL NOTICE. I JUST RECEIVED ANOTHER NOTICE ON 2/15/2021. PLEASE LET HONDA KNOW WHAT THEY NEED TO DO TO REALLY COMPLY WITH THE LAW.
