My wife and I purchased a new Honda Accord to be used by our 21-year old son who is attending college at brigham young university. On Saturday, Dec. 15, 2001 he along with 3 other college students were in the car on the freeway. They were traveling in the fast lane at around 70 miles per hour. , another car going the same direction lost control (reason unknown), spun out across the freeway, hit the center divider and stopped directly in the path of our son. Naturally he hit his brakes, but it happened so fast that there was nothing they could do except hit the other car head-on at about 60 miles per hour. All four of the parties in our car were wearing their seat belts, which probably saved their lives. However, the air bags did not deploy. It is a miracle that someone wasn't severly injured. While all of the parties had some whip lash, no one had to go to the hospital. Someone told my son that because he hit his brakes the front end of our Honda was lowered and went underneath the bumper of the car they hit, which was a larger SUV and thats why the airbags didn't deploy. I thought airbags deployed on impact to provide the protection they are designed to provide. The police report indicated that the driver of the SUV who spun out was at fault. While we are really glad that our son and his friends were not severly injured I have concern for someone else who may not be as lucky. I hope this information is helpful. I did contact Honda motor cars to file a complaint. About all they did was take my information, send me information on airbags and tell me to contact my insurance company. Should you like additional information please feel free to give us a call. Thanks for your assistance.
