What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 honda accord. While driving approximately 50 MPH, the contact's vehicle was cut off by another vehicle. As a result, the contact rear ended the other vehicle. The front passenger air bag failed to deploy. A police report was filed. The contact stated that all four passengers in the vehicle sustained injuries that required medical attention.
Air bag light would come on intermittently. Then started staying on more. Within the week went to dealer and they said it was my seatbelt sensor. Covered under my 5 year extended warranty. Thank goodness.
