Air Bag problem #1

The contact owns a 2026 Honda Cr-v. The contact stated that while driving at 33 mph, the vehicle ahead unexpectedly decelerated, resulting in a rear-end collision. The contact stated that the forward collision warning system failed to activate prior to the crash. During the collision, the driver-side, front passenger-side, and rear passenger-side airbags deployed in a delayed manner, and the driver-side airbag appeared to rupture during deployment. The front end of the vehicle sustained extensive damage, and the vehicle was towed by the insurance company to a private impound lot. The contact was transported via ambulance to a medical center, where she was treated for a fractured sternum, broken ribs, chest contusions, and trauma leading to respiratory distress, requiring diagnostic scans, x-rays, and an ekg evaluation. A police report was filed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure by phone. The failure mileage was approximately 12,000.

Air Bag problem #2

On August 29, 2026 our 2026 Honda crv hybrid had a sudden unintended acceleration ending in a collision with a tree. The car was in a low speed and being parked in a parking lot. While slowing down or decelerating, the crv surged forward. The collision repairs cost approximately 15,000. Due to the fact that it happened in a parking lot on private property, no police report was filed. State farm, our insurance was notified and we were encouraged to call caliber collision. State farm sent a tow truck and our crv was taken to caliber collision the same day. At the time of the collision, no air bag was deployed. As the driver at the time, the incident happened very quickly, and I was thankful the vehicle hit a tree and not a person. I can honestly say my foot was not on the acceleration pedal. After arriving home, I began checking for other similar incidents and found a report of unintended/phantom acceleration complaints while the cars were at low speeds while trying to park or decelerate. This report was attached to the lemberg law in wilton, connecticut. I reached out to the law firm inquiring about data they have collected. Their response, "yes, we are aware of the issue and investigating it further. " in the meantime, other reports on the internet were also located and another owner of a crv 2026 hybrid living in our area also experienced the same surge while parking, hitting a sign. Honda customer service was contacted. I spoke with eileen at american Honda. She assigned a case number and asked that I call her when the car was returned and fixed. Eileen stated that american Honda would send a technician to checkout the car. I've try to call eileen three different times, and she has never returned the call. My state farm agent has also tried to call eileen at american Honda and has never received a callback. Now, Honda appears to be avoiding the situation, although eileen stated, "we take safety very seriously. ".

Air Bag problem #3

Supplemental restraint system problem. See you dealer. After 10 miles on my new car. Got error just after I left my dealer.

Air Bag problem #4

The driver-side frontal airbag/restraint system may have failed to operate during a collision involving a significant impact to the front driver’s side of my 2026 Honda Cr-v. The vehicle was declared a total loss, but the driver’s airbag did not deploy. The seat belt locked and appeared to function properly. The insurance company has already taken possession of the vehicle, so its present availability for inspection is unknown. My safety was put at risk because the driver’s airbag did not provide additional protection during the impact. Following the accident, I experienced a concussion, dizziness/vertigo, and neck, shoulder, and back pain. The issue has not been reproduced or formally confirmed by a Honda dealer or an independent service center. I notified Honda that the airbag did not deploy, but Honda did not inspect the vehicle. No police officer, insurance representative, collision center, or other qualified person gave me an explanation or confirmed whether the airbag should have deployed. The vehicle was inspected by insurance representatives for the total-loss claim, but, to my knowledge, the airbag system itself was not specifically inspected. Whether any airbag or srs warning lamp or message appeared before the collision is unknown. I do not recall receiving an airbag warning before the accident. The exact cause of the non-deployment is unknown and requires inspection of the vehicle, crash data, sensors, and airbag control system.

Air Bag problem #5

I had a accident with a another and now both them are totaled but I didn’t got any airbags deployed when I called Honda and ingot a person for the case he is like you need to go to dealership and inspect the car and they are like they don’t have any responsibility for safety issue.
