What owners wrote
We were stopped in traffic, seat belts were fastened, turn signal on, and we were rear-ended by a work van moving at very high speed. Our car was totaled. The front seats were broken due to the impact. No airbags deployed. Not front, not side.
Car was stationary sitting in drive-way. Air bag warning light came on dashboard as soon as car was turned on. Car was taken to honda dealership and I was informed that two issues might be the cause: front right impact sensor failure ($300ish to replace) or SRS motherboard failure ($1400 to replace). Honda is refusing to pay for any safety failures on the car because, "vehicle is out of warranty".
