I was currently in an accident. I was driving my 2009 Honda Civic 2 door coupe. The accident accrued due to wet road conditions, which caused me to lose control and 360 on a highway and slam into an inbankment and roll over 4 times. As I was injured thank god it was not life theartening, as it could of been. I was surprised after the accident that none of my air bags deployed. I do understand that there are sensors on the cars but every angle of the the car had some type of impact, so, why only two air bags deployed on the passenger side front and back window when there was no one in the passenger seat. I was the only one in the car and of course I was the driver in the driver seat. My concern that someone in the future will not be as lucky as me and get seriously hurt due to a defect with the air bags and sensors. It makes me think about Honda and there cars and I could never get back in a Honda again cause next time I may not be so lucky. I am concerned for Honda drivers and wanted to make a complaint about the air bags that I believe to have a defect that needs to be corrected for the safety and well being of others out there on the road. I purchased a Honda Civic because it is know to be the the safest car out there with its safety features, but after the accident I questioned that fact. So, I hope Honda will consider taking a look at this and correct the issue for the well being of other Honda drivers.
