| I was involved in a horrible car crash on march 15, 2008. an 18-wheeler swerved into my lane while driving on the highway. when the 18-wheeler swerved, the back of his load hit (the 1st) time on the passenger side. i was then sucked underneath the 18-wheeler, flipped several times while being drug for 100 yards still underneath the 18-wheeler the entire time. once the vehicle stopped, i was upside down hanging from the 18-wheeler. the airbags in my 2000 honda civic never deployed from any side. i was hit with a major impact at every angle upside down and all around. the er medical had to do on-site procedures due to the damage to my head, arm, and leg. they were unable to take my seatbelt off, it had to be cut off. i had a problems in the past with my driver's side seatbelt getting stuck. on a normal day, i normally would have ro jerk the sealtbelt off of me. please advise me on this situation. i am just now being able to report the airbag situation because i have been in the hospital due to the terrible accident. *tr | |||

| My 17 year old daughter went through a red light on dec. 12, 2000. she sideswiped a 1993 volvo. she hit so hard that our 2000 honda civic did a 180 degree spin then re-hitting the volvos rear with the passenger side of the 2000 civic. this then pushed the volvo into a stopped jeep at the red light. our honda civic initially hit the volvo straight on at about 40+ miles per hour. the honda's front end was completely destroyed. the problem is that neither airbag in the honda deployed. this was not an offset crash. the front end directly hit the driver side of the volvo. no braking was involved and the volvos front air bags did deploy. my daughters legs were very bruised as well as her side and neck. she was wearing her seatbelt as this is the only thing that saved her life. the 200 honda civic has been classified as totaled by american family insurance. i bought this newer model car for the airbag safety features especially for such a young driver. why at an impact of 40+ miles per hour with a direct frontal hit would the airbags not deploy in a 2000 model honda civic??? yet a 93 volvo when hit from the side recognized enough impact to deploy its front air bags. *ak | |||

| My 17 year old son was in a one car accident monday morning. he was driving a 2000 honda civic lx. he was traveling east bound on i-30. time of the accident was around 7 am. the car was on cruise control at 70 mph. he apparently dozed off and woke up in the median. scared to death. he came back up on the interstate. he thought he was putting the brakes on but said he was probably really giving it gas. he spun around a couple of times on the interstate and crashed head on into a guard rail. fortunately he is ok. he said he had to be going 40-50 mph when he hit the guard rail. my question is. when scott hit the guard rail he went forward. the seat belt did not tighten up. he hit the steering wheel and came back when the seat belt finally tightened up. there was no deployment of the air bag since it was a front impact crash at over 40 mph, should the airbags have went off. the place where the car is thinks that it is totaled. geico looked at it, who is my insurance agent and said it would cost around $4300 to fix it. thanks for your help in this matter. *jb | |||
