| Description of the problem | I was traveling at approx 55 to 60 mph on the fwy. I started to slow down when i saw 2 cars that were at a dead stop in my lane way ahead of me, they just sat there so i hit my brakes harder & my brakes locked up. My car then went out of control and i tried my best to control it. I did manage to keep my car from rolling. My car was going back and forth on 2 wheels on the drivers side and the passengers side. I was also spinning and fishtailing and the back end of my cr-v (passenger side) hit the back end of the driver side of a sedan in the #3 or #4 lane. That impact sent my cr-v straight into the cement center divider of the freeway. I hit the center divider head on and went up and it felt like i was going to go over it onto the other side of the freeway but my cr-v came back down right in front of the center divider with the smashed up bumper facing the center divider. My cr-v hit the center divider hard enough for my body to bend the steering wheel back. Not one of my 4 air bags went off. I had this cr-v in the honda dealer 14 days earlier to repair the airbag recall (i have all of the paperwork detailing this) i have pictures of the injuries from hitting and bending the steering wheel. I also chipped 3 teeth. I have pictures of the airbag sensor and the bent metal around it. The chp officers, tow truck driver, the person that i hit and the body shop personnel all have the same question that do; the airbag should have gone off, why didn't it and why was i injured? I could have been killed. Honda has had several problems with this year and model of cr-v, yet they do nothing about them. The seat belts, & the airbags definitely malfunctioned. I have had 2 other similar problems with the brakes locking up on me and i think that there may be a problem with the brakes or wheels. This car needs to be looked at. I have never had any problems w/any of my 4 hondas past. |
