I wrecked on 8/24/2020. The car says the airbags deployed and my seatbelts locked up. But my airbags did not deploy! I rear ended somebody going about 20 mph on a city street.
The contact owns a 2003 Acura Mdx. While driving 70 mph, a metal piece of a street sign that was lying on the ground struck the contact's vehicle. The metal bar split the control arm in two. The air bags did not deploy. The contact was not injured and a police report was not filed. The vehicle was towed to a tow lot. The vehicle was repaired. In addition, the air bag warning indicator remained illuminated. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 114,000.
My son was driving in town normal speed it was raining, he had to make a quick stop to avoid a car in front of him that made a quick stop also. The bumpers barely touched, left no marks at all, not even to the front licsence plate. The airbag deployed and black and blued his arm. We received a recall notice for this 2003 Mdx. Took it in to libertyville Acura and they fixed one part of the recall but refused to fix the deployed airbag and seatbelts. That's not right! the steering wheel airbag should not have deployed without a crash! what gives. A recall without repairs is nothing but lip service. How many of us are out there? how many others are or ,were denied also? the car is still at the dealer. They have not fixed the problem.
