What owners wrote
Involved in a car accident on 12/29/2006 in our 2007 honda fit and was struck in the front passenger headlight and right side which crushed our vehicle all the back to the windshield, but the airbags did not deploy. We were going approximately 35-40 MPH when the mustang pulled out from a parking lot, went across 3 lanes and struck our honda fit. Car was not drivable and had to be towed while my family and myself were taken to the hospital by ambulance. We have the police report and pictures.
I own a 2007 honda fit sport that was in a high speed crash. Reading the complaint # 10228324 I can relate to this issue. I was hit on the very front left side at about 55 MPH and then pushed off the road to the right. The right front of the car hit a dirt burm around 30 MPH. The air bags didn't deploy but the air bag light stayed on until it was reset. The body shop advised me that the impact cut the wiring harness to the air bags and sensor's had been cut in half and the sensors were cracked.
