Daughter was driving on a highway with stop and go traffic and hit the car in front of her. The passenger air bag went off, which we had fixed on a recall notice years before. However the driver air bag did not go off. My daughter went forward and it affected her jaw. We are concerned that the driver airbag did not even go off to protect her. The police even commented on it. Her car may be unfixable we will know soon. We want to report this for others safety.

This is to report air bag deployment while driving. Had to brake to avoid tree branch. No damage to car other than the tore sit and opening of bag. I had damage to right side of arm being that it happened on driver side. I am concerned that this might happen to other vehicles as well. My car is a bit old, but in good working conditions we have taken care of it. However, should I be worry that this might happen again. I have been reading some of the postings in websites and it seems to happen often. I would advise NHTSA to look into it. Please keep us informed and if ever there is a recall please inform the public.

My side curtain airbag came out after running over a branch that I could not avoid. I came over a hill on a residential street and the branches were all over the road. I got out of my car because I smelled smoke. It was only upon getting back in my car that I realized the air bag was hanging out. It did not inflate just came out. I recently had the recall taken care of for the front driver side. Every auto body person I have spoke with says that it should not have deployed for something like a branch. Also, my seat belts are still working which is uncommon after the air bag deploying. Honda has not wanted to take responsibility for the air bag deploying without true cause.

Driving on gravel road 30 mph drivers side impact airbag deployed for no apparent reason. Road in fair-to good condition. No contact made with any object. Driver was stunned with surprise could have been a catastrophic accident. Honda checked out by dealer and Honda refused to pay saying not a defect in car.

I was driving down the interstate at 65 mph when I heard a loud boom. My arm went numb and my left ear was silent. As I looked down, I noticed that my driver's side side impact airbag had deployed. There was nothing in the road. I did not hit anything. Nothing hit me. There is no external damage to my vehicle. The seat ripped open when the airbag deployed and the airbag left a sizable welt and bruise on my arm. There is no reason that the airbag should have deployed. I have not taken it to the dealership yet but have had it looked at by a few mechanics and they have not been able to identify any reason that the airbag has deployed. I will be taking it to the dealership this week. From my personal research, this is not an isolated incident. Honda is aware that there is an issue with a unexplanable airbag deployment and has made no action to correct the issue. As it continues to happen, it will cause an accident and someone will be fatally injuerd. This issue needs to be addressed.

A lady ran a red light (which was already red for 12 seconds) and hit me from the right side, which then caused my car to go at an angle striking a pole head-on. The airbags all deployed as they were supposed to but I did end up having second degree burns on my hands and wrists. While the bags worked as they were supposed to, I thought it wise to file a complaint for the mere purpose of requiring the auto industry to make its customers aware of the types of burns that airbag deployment can cause. I have found in talking to many people about my wreck, that a lot of people have no idea that they can get burned by these things that are installed in their cars.
