13 Air Bag problem of the 2005 Acura TSX

Failure Date: 12/26/2018

I was driving alone on a icy city street and was unable to stop completely when another vehicle was turning left. My vehicle was traveling at approximately 12-15 miles per hour when it impacted the other vehicle. On the other vehicle there was no damage at all and on my 2005 Acura Tsx there was a minor indentation in the front bumper caused by the other cars license plate and my passenger airbag had deployed. After doing my research and talking to two mechanics, I was informed that it isn't standard operating practice for an airbag to deploy unless it is absolutely necessary for safety purposes. Based on the specifics of this minor fender-bender, the passenger airbag shouldn't have deployed because nobody was sitting on the passenger side and due the speed at impact. In my opinion, this seemed like a defective airbag that Acura should be responsible for and not my insurance company. I contacted Acura customer relations for assistance and basically given the run-around for 4 weeks only to be told that I needed to report the accident to my insurance and they would pursue a claim against Acura if they chose to. Although these particular airbags aren't on the recall list, I do believe that there are issues with the 2005 Acura Tsx airbags based on the amount complaints I've read online. I have been an Acura/Honda customer for over 15 years and was quite disappointed in their response and how they handled my request.

23 Air Bag problem of the 2007 Acura TSX

Failure Date: 08/26/2017

I was involved in an accident that wasn't significant enough to warrant airbag deployment however since then there has been a �check airbag system� icon on my display ever since! I can't renew my lyft drivers account until this problem is addressed which is causing an undue financial hardship. Please let me know if this is part of a second wave of recalls to come regarding airbags. Furthermore, lately I've been contemplating what an officer at the scene told me, which was I puke be dead after running directly into the vehicle in front of me at a relatively high rate of speed. I'm happy to be alive but am curious as to how an accident of this magnitude; an accident that nearly demolished my Acura as is illustrated in the attached photo, didn't prompt deployment of my airbags? now I'm left with this ridiculous �check airbag system� message which serves as a constant reminder of their failure and as described above is costing me.

And I'm still waiting for call or whatever they say they still waiting for the parts to come in. . This is so disappointing!.
