| While traveling through a parking lot, a lamp post was hit on the driver side quarer panel above the tire. the speed traveled was 5 mph and the airbags went off. there are numerous problems complaints of airbags not going off in frontal collisions, but a side impact at 5 mph caused the airbag to go off, which in turn also twisted the dash board and broke the front windshield. the actual crash itself caused less then $500 of damage, it is the airbag, windshield, and dash board that caused all of the damage. | |||

| I received a recall notice on my 1999 honda civic for the ignition switch in september 2002. i took the car to get a new switch installed. after that i did not see a positive change or faster start up of the car . in fact, it seemed to start slower and slower. when i would press the accelerator i felt a grinding sensation under my foot from the gas pedal, which sounded like the car was struggling to speed up. also, when i would turn the key in the ignition the car would not start right away, it stalled for about (7) seven seconds or so. i believe this car is a lemon. when i bought it, the gears wouldn't change properly. i would press the accelerator to go up to spped on the highway and it would take a long time for the car to change gears, it sounded very loud because of this. i don't know why it did this, i am concerned and it became very annoying. i had an accident while driving this car on oct. 16, 2002. as i was driving i heard something crack under the car and the car started to spin to the other side of the road causing me to lose control of the car. i believe the car had a safety defect that caused the wheels to break, resulting in loss of control of the vehicle. the insurance adjuster told me these are some of the damages to the car: the bottom of the floor shifted, the axle broke, the tires and wheels broke, they declared the car a total loss. i believe the wheels/tires broke first, which is probably what the cracking sound was that i heard which caused the car swerve. my insurance company paid the car off so fast which leads me to believe they are hiding something. aslo, i think the steering of the car was out of line, because sometimes the car would veer to the right when i would be driving straight it would be difficult to stay in the lane i would appreciate all the information you can give to help me find out what else is wrong with this car as i already said a recall for the ignition was issued more defects may be found. dt | |||

| I was traveling about 25 mph and was hit head-on by a driver in a ford taurs traveling about 40 mph in the wrong lane. both air bags in the tarus deployed and mine, in the 1999 honda civic did not deploy. the impact of the crash has caused injuries to my chest from the seatbelt which probably could be expected, and saved my life; and injuries to my neck and back from the forward thrust caused by the head -on impact. but, the air bags should have deployed in the honda. it is unreasonable to think they would not deploy based on the degree of the impact . the honda body shop manager said the other car hit the honda above the frame rails, which is why they did not deploy. if that is the case, the air bags will not deploy in most crashes that this vehicle is involved in. this is a vehicle design defect. i have digital pictures of the damaged honda . sincerely, bob hamilton, csp.*ak | |||
