What owners wrote

On a 2013 car accident. I along with 2 other passengers experienced a frontal collision ,with an oncoming vehicle ,who ran a red light. Upon impact ,the airbag deployed.the force from the airbag was so severe,it forced my head back ,hitting(bruising) the passenger seated behind me. I momentarily blacked out,to be awoken by the burning sensation of my arm.some kind of solvent or kind of fuel cell to deploy the bag,caught fire and was burning my right arm.though the fire was only contained on my arm,and thankful it…

April 2013 CrashFireInjury

I was driving down the road at 45 MPH when all of a sudden both my side air bags deployed. There was no collision or impact to the car. I almost drove off the road because I was so startled by this occurring. I contacted the honda dealership and they refused to do anything. I then contacted american honda and they refuse to do anything but give me an inspection of the vehicle. They want me to drive the car to the dealership. I contacted my insurance company and they came to look at the car.
