Body problems of the 2002 Honda Civic

I was driving on highway 101 in California in moderate traffic when there was an unexpected slowdown. I braked in time, but the vehicle behind me did not. I was rear-ended and my car was totaled. I was not injured. However, the person in the passenger seat, who was wearing her seat belt, was thrown forward. She struck her head on the dashboard (possibly the grill) and incurred a serious eye injury that required surgery to repair. I am reporting this because although the lap portion of the seat belt restrained her, apparently the shoulder portion did not. The accident is documented in traffic collision report #9360-2020-00053 issued by the California highway patrol, 6100 labath Ave. , rohnert park, CA. 707-588-1400. The photo I've attached was taken about three days after the accident.

Takata recall- the car was involved in a collision on the expressway. It sustained major front end damage, however the air bags did not deploy. The vehicle was part of the major airbag recall. The recall was completed October 2015.

My daughter (18 yrs. Of age) recently purchased a 2002 Honda Civic and was involved in an automobile accident. In this accident the unfortunate thing was her air bag did not deploy and her chest hit the steering wheel. She was taken by ambulance to a local hospital. X-rays were done and she was just bruised and no broken bones. She may have not sustained any injuries if the air bag would have deployed. I know Honda has had law suits filed against them because of air bags deploying and causing injury, but in her case it caused injury that maybe could have been avoided if it had deployed. Thanks.

The contact owns a 2002 Honda Civic. The contact stated that the door locks failed and locked on their own while the contact’s child was in the vehicle. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and they stated that they could not change the lock design. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileages were 142,000.

The sealant around the window no longer keeps the water out. I have since been able to fix this using tape, but during extremely heavy rain, my floor will be soaked.

Water leaks into the trunk when driving in wet conditions. Car has been to dealership twice for repair yet it still leaks. It seems to leak in from the passenger side rear wheel well. The "particle board" and cloth that covers the spare tire area was damaged, has rust, and a musty smell remains in the car. The car is a Honda "certified used vehicle", yet a leaky trunk is not covered and dealership had to cover cost. Will take back for a third repair.

Paint on brand new Honda Civic ex is bubbling up from underneath, chipping and falling off. Honda has denied responsibility for damage claiming it was vandalism. A auto body shop and gieco insurance have both deemed the damage factory defect.
