What owners wrote
A drunk driver hit my car along with six others, and my car spun into the highway wall and totaled the car with an impact probably 40 or 50 mph and airbags did not go off
The "check airbag system" warning light keeps turning on and off intermittently. I can find many online complaints about 2013 civic owners having dealers replace system components only to have the problem reappear in a couple of months. I had our civic serviced at a honda dealer in spokane wa a couple of months ago, and had requested they diagnose the problem. I'm in az and my daughter took the car in to the dealer to replace headlight bulbs and inspect the airbag system. However, they did not do the inspection!!!
