What owners wrote
My 2013 accord sport suddenly veered left on it's own and I hit a telephone pole breaking it in half. The air bags did not deploy. The car is a total loss and I am injured. I was driving in a straight line when this happened.
I bought the car new with very low mileage (maybe 200 miles). From the time I bought it or very shortly afterwards, the red air bag light was lit on the dashboard. I thought it was normal because it was a brand new car. Then I started focusing on it and noticed that sometimes it wasn't on but most of the time it was. I inquired about it when I took it in for the 5,000 mile oil change and was told there was faulty wiring and the air bag unit needed to be replaced.
