Front Air Bag Sensor Control problems of the 2009 Honda Accord

Takata recall. I own a 2009 Honda Accord 2-dr and the recall is applied to the 4-dr only. However, I wouldn't be able to describe my car's issue better than the recall. I was driving on the highway (I-35) with approx. 65 mph, going straight not turning in any way. I heard a very loud pop noise and my passenger's seat and curtain airbags had deployed. Honestly, it's very hard to tell if I ran over a pothole or if I hit a rock because the loud noise and my shock dominated the moment. Thankfully, I was commuting alone that day and nobody got hurt. I stopped the car to inspect it and I couldn't see anything. I filled a claim with Honda customer service and took the car to the nearest Honda center for a diagnosis ($120). Honda customer service requested that one of their field engineers inspected the car. After his inspection, he determined that an impact caused the airbags to deploy. When I requested to see the impact signs, they pointed a scratch on the frame rail. They said that the scratch seems minor only because it happened on the toughest part of the car, the frame rail. That scratch is almost underneath the passenger's side sensor. I asked for more information, such as the threshold when an airbag deploys, how do they know that this scratch was not there before, etc. They didn't answer my questions, instead they told me that the scratch was "fresh". I'm attaching the pictures of the scratch on the frame rail. It's not very obvious but look at the silver scrape. I decided to take my car to my insurance (progressive). They were baffled with what they saw and they couldn't believe that such scratch would cause the airbags to deploy. The estimator helping me wasn't sure if they'll cover it. He'll elevate the issue and call me on Monday. Honda doesn't recognize this as a defect since they found a scratch. Progressive may not fix it. No car out of nowhere!.

I was driving down the road, a city street traveling 30 mph, and my driver side window airbag deployed. They have recently announced recalls on 2008-2009 Honda 4-door Accords for the sensitivity of the side impact sensors being too high. This isn't an issue that's exclusive to their 4-door sedans, and also relates to their 2 door coupe. As a result of my airbag deployment I took my car to Honda and they were unable to give me any explanation as to why my airbag deployed but wouldn't accept responsibility. I also had my insurance company inspect the vehicle and after their thorough examination they deemed it a manufacturer defect. As a result of the incident I wound up having to pay $2600 for my airbags to be replaced. Overall a very frustrating experience for someone who was a loyal Honda owner who wound up accepting financial responsibility without doing anything wrong.

I had brand new car bought in March 2009 , later in April 2010 I had accident and airbags didn't blow out and I hit my head, sent it to dealer by insurance company and figured that sensor was defected and they exchanged , later on they flights for abs and vsc come on intermittently , sent it to dealer , they figured sensors are defected and will exchange , my concern is how come car with defected parts released to market , and Honda company didn't do any thing for me , the car cost over $ 20,000. 00 it's better to buy a $ 2000. 00 car.
