I am writing to inform you of an airbag malfunction that occurred in my 2001 Honda Civic on July 14, 2009. I was injured in the accident as a direct result of the airbag failure. I was driving in rush hour traffic on July 14, 2009. Going approximately 40 mph, I rear-ended a vehicle that was stopped for a light. The front of my Honda smashed in, the windshield was smashed, and the front end and compartment compressed to the point that, despite the fact that I was wearing my seatbelt, the steering wheel jammed into my chest with great force. The passenger side airbag inflated, but the drivers side airbag did not. My car was totaled and not repairable. I was taken to the hospital by ambulance with severe chest contusions, and was out of work for 2 weeks in a great deal of pain. For months, I suffered with large hematomas on my breasts, severe bruising, and intense pain. To this day, my breasts are deformed and lumpy from months of hematomas, and my understanding is that I will have issues with this for many years, if not forever. I have photographs of both my injuries and the vehicle.

My daughter was driving 2001 Honda Civic lx sedan equipped with side airbag optional. While she was 3rd in line of cars stopped at red light, another car proceeded to left turn from intersecting road at speed, lost control, and crashed into her driver's side door. That driver then proceeded to leave the scene of the accident. . . Hit and run. Damage to her car extended from just forward of the driver's door, the entire driver's door, and partly onto the driver's side rear door. The side impact air bag did not deploy. Damage to the car was extensive and the car has been totaled by state farm. Impact was strong enough to shatter the driver's side window, fracture the windshield, and push the car sideways into the curb on the passenger's side, damaging both the front and rear tires on the passenger's side due to curb impact. My complaint is why didn't the side airbag deploy?.

9/28/04 - on this day I have taken my 2001 Honda Civic ex to the dealer for the 5th time to deal with the side air bag warning light coming on. Over the first 4 times they have reinitialized the system and replaced the computer component. They informed me they were on the phone with their "tech support" people all morning. The only solution they could come up with is to replace the seat back. I am very concerned about this safety feature as it could lead to myself or a passenger being seriously hurt or killed in a crash. Please check into this, as I have notice there are other complaints about this on the website.
Srs light illuminates and side airbag light illuminates. Repeated problems with lights, but dealer said it was due to the way the passenger was sitting in the seat. Complaining to dealer over the past two years.
