What owners wrote

Mva occurred 1/16/2015 - impact left front quarter. Had trouble opening driver's door. Steering column airbag deployed. However, driver's side curtain airbag did not deploy resulting in head trauma as driver's head hit the driver's side window. Impact should have set off side curtain airbag sensors. Vehicle was totaled & sold by insurance company without dealer inspection of problem. I would not have thought twice about it had it not been brought to my attention by article about recent honda airbag recalls.

January 2015 CrashInjury

Apparently the "master" control switch in the driver's door experienced a loose connection. This prevented the windows from operating, I exited the vehicle while it was running to use an atm machine, since the window would not operate and the doors locked, trapping my 2 year old inside.

Reported at 6,000 miles, July 2006
