I was distracted while driving on s. Washington blvd, arlington, virginia in exiting onto s. Quinn street/columbia pike exit at high speed. I spun out of control and drove onto an island near the intersection, driving over a street sign and hitting a metal pole holding the traffic lights. Excessive damage to front end of vehicle, yet airbag did not deploy. I was only vehicle involved in the accident and had no passengers. I received hospital care the following day for whiplash and muscle pain in my neck and shoulder. The police office noted that it was unusual that the airbag did not deploy given the high speed and nature of the collision.

The red dashboard "warning light" for my airbags stays on almost all the time. Once in awhile it goes off, but then goes on again, for no reason I can see. My mechanic has tried to "reset" it after routine maintenance and cannot. I bought this car as a "certified" used Honda vehicle. It was three years old and had about 25,000 miles when I bought it. It has had this problem for the entire time I have had the vehicle. I took it into Honda to have it repaired soon after I bought it and was told they would have to do a "diagnostic" first which would cost me about $ 200. That would only tell them what was wrong and would not necessarily fix the problem. Since the light sometimes went off, I figured it was just a problem with the light and not with the system itself and just ignored it. Last week I heard a news story on television and then saw an article in the l. A. Times which stated that NHTSA is now investigating the exact same problem in 2008 Honda accords. Nhtsa has received 19 complaints, including a consumer who was in a 50 mph accident where the airbag did not deploy. The article states that this is thought to be a defect with the "air bag control computer model". The defect causes the air bag status indicator lamp to illuminate and the air bag system is disabled until it is repaired. The estimated cost to replace the accord unit it $ 455. I am sure my 2008 Honda Civic has the same problem. I did not know until I read this article that my air bag is not operable if the status light is on. I request that 2008 Honda Civics be investigated along with 2008 Honda accords for this problem, for possible recall.

To whom it may concern, I drive a 2008 Honda Civic ex, on 2/16/2010 I was in a car accident on the way to work. I tried to avoid a tractor trailer that was coming too close to me and by doing so I lost control of my vechicle and hit the guardrail to the left then spun me into the right lane hitting the guardrail to the right which in turn spun me again to the left and hitting the guardrail to the left face forward. None of the air bags deployed during the accident. As a result I sustained injuries to the left side of my head and upper, middle and lower back pain. I am currently in physical therapy and I am missing two weeks of work. The car was sent to the Honda dealership in hartford, connecticut. The dealership told us that the car was totaled and when we asked them about the air bags not being deployed, they told us in turn that from the looks of it I did not hit the guard rail face forward, when I actually did. I did not have any side impacts, most of the damage is in the front and some on the back end. I am hestitant to buy another Honda Civic due to the air bags not deploying and I am afraid that this may occur to another Honda owner. Honda is known to have safe vechicles however I am afraid the new Honda Civics may have a air bag problem, especially after my incident and my car being totaled.

I recently purchased a 2008 Honda Civic. I had a wreck and it was totaled. A Chevrolet tahoe hit the front end of my Civic going at least 65 mph and smashed the whole front end. The impact was very strong causing the tahoe to flip. My air bags did not deploy, when my car was looked at to see if it was totaled or if it could be fixed, the adjustor said my airbags should have deployed. Where the sensor is, is completely smashed. I bought my Honda Civic because I heard they were very safe cars, and although no one was severely injured in the accident, I don't know if I should buy another Honda Civic if the air bags aren't going to deploy when they should.

I was driving along in 6 lanes of 1-way traffic when the car to my right made a left-hand turn in front of me forcing a collision. I was in a pattern of acceleration following a previous stop at a red light and was traveling at approximately 35 mph at the time of impact. I had no passengers with me. The point of impact to my vehicle was the front as I hit the turning vehicle on the driver's left side forcing release of the driver's side airbag in that vehicle. My driver's airbag never deployed. I was wearing a seatbelt. I sustained neck and upper back strain (whiplash) and was taken by ambulance to a local ed where I underwent x-rays to evaluate for damage to my cervical spine area (negative) and treatment for pain.
