I was driving down market street in youngstown when I was almost obstructed by another vehicle, I swerved and was struck by another vehicle my air bags did not deploy at 40MPH and she was going 25MPH. There was a recall on the side air bags, my back and neck hurt as well as my passenger. American honda said there were not defects...
Our 2012 4 door/v6 honda accord was involved in a crash. A mack truck hit our car from behind at an estimated speed of 50. We hit the car in front of us at an estimated speed of 20. The vehicle was considered totaled with an estimate of $22000-$25000 in damages. The front airbags never deployed. In my research, 2012 honda's had a recall regarding side airbags not deploying ([link removed] I am concerned there might be an issue with the front airbags as well.
