What owners wrote
Honda pilot was struck (tbone) at 65 MPH side curtain airbags deployed and driver was knocked unconscious and leaned on the gas. Car went into full rev and crashed into a wall where the front airbag deployed. Homeless man was sleeping behind the wall and was struck by the runaway honda pilot. Shouldn't the vehicle of shut down after airbag deployment? Fuel inertia or cut off did not engage.
Rear wiper prob - could not turn off ,last resort pulled fuse for wiper, fuse also controled passenger air bag., why are they on same fuse? Prob. With wiper could eliminate airbag.
