What owners wrote
I was involved in a major car accident on the freeway involving my 2017 honda civic. Traffic was at a slow/stop on the freeway and a tahoe collided into my vehicle. I was sandwiched in-between a nissan titan and chevy tahoe. My car was totaled and sustained significant damage to both the front and back. Despite this major impact, none of my airbags deflated.
The car has a design flaw with the under carriage cover to the engine section. When a speed hump is encountered, the undercarriage hits it at the slowest speeds. Eventually, it will cause damage. The car has under 11, 000 miles and it has been brought to the dealer's service manager's attention and I am told that the car is low to the ground. It is a design flaw since every speed bump hits the undercarriage cover.
