2 Front Seat Belt problem

Failure Date: 03/01/2004

I was hit head-on by a mid-sized sedan which drilled my license plate back to the firewall. The driver's side airbag failed to deploy, despite the speed (me 45, her 20) and the driver's shoulder harness failed to restrain me. I crushed the steering column with my chest and had to be removed with the jaws of life. Honda sent a technician who declared a faulty seatbelt and faulty airbag sensor. The vehicle sustained over $15,000 damage, was fully repaired, although my insurance paid for it, not Honda. I sustained multiple soft-tissue injuries, broken ribs and a dislocated shoulder. I continue with therapy almost three years later.

Problems with front brakes on 2003 Honda crv. There was a clunking noise coming from the brakes.
