Description of the problem | On jan 8th 2011 i was involved in a wreck involving my 2005 honda crv lx model equipped with driver and passenger side air bags. It was a frontal impact at 35 to40 mph causing major damage to the front of the car which was totaled. The seat belts did their expected job but caused bruising to my wife's chest, stomach area and sternum (possible fracture). My complaint was the air bags did not deploy on either the drivers side nor the passengers side. I believe if this would have deployed my wife would not have suffered these type of injuries or would have lessened them. I called the local honda dealer to discuss this and he gave me some off the wall reason why they did not deploy even at a 35 to 40 mph front collision! The sensors on the front bumper area , radiator , engine and frame were damaged to the point they seemed to be moved back towards the passenger cab. These air bags should have deployed on impact but did not. I cannot find any customer help line for honda to report this. I feel that this should be investigated to see if this is a problem for this type of vehicle. |
