Air Bag Not Deploy problems of the 2002 Honda CR-V

I was involved in an incident where a vehicle pulled out in front of me and I hit them. The damage to driver side front end damage is such that I am unable to open the drivers door or drive the vehicle safely without repair. I do not understand why the airbag system failed to deploy. I did take my vehicle in for the safety recall airbag replacements when notified.

I had been driving for approximately 30 minutes. As I drove along I-575 - a 4-lane highway - I noticed a kind of power surge from my engine. My speedometer registered 80 mph! I applied the brakes but was unable to slow the car more than 20-30 mph, and then it started to creep back up. I exited at that point, knowing I needed help. I was still going much too fast. I looked for a service station and not only was there none, within seconds I was faced with a red light with 4 lanes of cross traffic (george busby parkway) - I couldn't stop the car! so I took it off the road in a controlled crash, going over the curb, 6 or so feet of grass, a huge hedge, and crashed into a very tall, mature crape myrtle. Thank god the car finally stopped. I was fortunate the crape myrtle consisted of multiple trunks rather than being an oak or similar. The crape myrtle managed to dissipate the impact of my car and I only sustained a broken wrist. The air bag did not deploy. My insurance company is charging me with driving out of control!!!!.

Purchased the car in 2002. Starting in 2005, the seat belt wouldn't engage into the buckle. Had to force and force the buckle in for the buckle to lock in the insert. Recently, the srs light came on. Honda tells me that the seat belt must be replaced because the air bags may not deploy upon impact but there is no warranty. An independent mechanic tells me that the seat belt may in fact be warranted, but Honda made no mention of that.

The driver airbag failed to deploy in my 2002 Honda crv when my front end crashed into the side of a pick up truck that pulled out in front of me on the highway. I was going 45 before impact so after breaking, estimate 35-40 mph when I hit. My passenger airbag deployed. Again, my driver airbag did not deploy. Impact was hard enough to total the car. I fractured my sternum, a moderately serious injury that 2 doctors told me doesn't happen anymore due to airbags. My srs light came on 6 months ago. Knowing that was a safety warning we immediately took the car to a Honda dealer. The diagnostics revealed a defective driver seat belt buckle, which they replaced. They then cleared the srs light and it has not come back on. I specifically asked about the airbag and they said those are fine. I've been to 3 law firms. They all said it appears that the dealer performed as the diagnostics dictated and that I just wasn't injured enough to take on Honda. It would cost a firm roughly $100k over 2 years to file a lawsuit and "only" a fractured sternum and 4-6 weeks off work wouldn't pay out enough to cover attorneys fees. They all said a person needs to be paralyzed or dead to be worth tackling a big corporation. I called Honda. They said sometimes only 1 airbag goes off depending on how the car is hit and while they care, they don't do investigations. I requested an airbag investigation from my insurance company. They noted that request as part of the subrogation process. From my perspective, if fractured sternum are an injury of the past because airbags prevent that injury, and the force of the impact was great enough to fracture my sternum, then the force of the full frontal impact was enough to trigger both airbags. It's fortunate I was only going 35-40 and not highway speeds or my husband would be able to file a lawsuit. How many other people are driving around thinking they are protected? I loved my crv . I'd like to get another, but I'm afraid.

Consumer states that when hit in the front center of the vehicle the air bag did not deploy causing injuries to the consumer. Dealer notified ts.
