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.

The first incident happened as I was proceeding through a yied sign, the vehicle which preceeded me had come to a complete stop. When I applied my brakes, the car did not stop. The brake pedal was all the way to the floor. The only thing stopping the car was the impact with the other vehicle. Because everything happen so fast, I assumed that I did not react quickly enough. On 1/24/03 was the second time this happened, there were two passengers in the car with me who witness the brake incident again. This time as I tried to vere to the right to avoid an accident, the steering column was locked and I was unable to steer the car. Again the only thing that stopped the car was the impact. In both situations I was not traveling at a high rate of speed and there was ample time for the car to stop had the brakes worked. When I took it to the Honda dealer, they said they had never heard of anything like that happening before. I insisted they check the vehicle out anyway and, of course, they couldn't find anything wrong. This is a great safety issue and under other circumstances the results could have been more serious or even fatal.

My wife and I each separately encountered issues with steering and brakes possibly not working as intended. First occurred in October I believe, only couple months into the lease. I was almost run off on a highway, as I swerved to get out of the way. . I lost control and spun out(did 360) and hit the right shoulder barrier. I didn't think anything of it at the time. Chalked it up to bad luck. Then may of this year, my wife on highway, braked hard to avoid hitting traffic in front of her that had braked hard as well. Lost control of steering and again, did 360 spin and crashed into center divider. Now I'm a little leery, 2 incidents in less than 9 month span. Both times it seems that we should've not lost control.
