Description of the problem	My wife, mother in-law, and 8 month old son were driving on a gravel driveway to someones house when suddenly the drivers side airbag in my 2005 honda element deployed. There was no collision, no reckless driving, nothing to provoke an airbag to suddenly deploy. It only happened once, however, due to fighting w/ dealerships and honda's customer service center over the repairs; my wife is still driving the vehicle, as it is her only means of transportation. My 8 month old son also rides in this vehicle and i am very thankful that he and my wife were not hurt in the incident; my mother in-law however, received a severely bruised elbow as she was the one driving the vehicle. I took it to the dealership to have it repaired and was told that only the faulty sensor is covered under my warranty. They will not pay for replacement of the physical airbag, they will not pay to have the seat stitched back together were the airbag deployed from, and they will not pay to reset all of the other airbag sensors that apparently no longer work. It has been over a month since this occurred and the best advice honda has given me is to have my insurance company inspect the vehicle-pay for the repairs-and then contact honda for reimbursement. This is an outrage-my insurance company should have nothing to do with this-as there was no collision. My warranty should pay for this repair in full. I am so very thankful that my family was on a gravel road traveling under 10mph. It horrifies me to think of what would have happened if this occurred on the freeway-at freeway speeds. I feel that if something is not done to correct this problem-that someone will be seriously hurt or killed. Honda needs to take responsibility for this and take the proper steps now to fix it before it's too late.
