What owners wrote
While driving west bound on 84 50MPH in the middle lane, a 1989 honda impacted consumer's vehicle on front wheel on passenger's side, dragged vehicle into a concrete wall. Upon impact, neither airbag deployed. Contacted dealer .
(1) the vehicle I was driving in was proceeding to make a left turn on a green traffic signal when other vehicle failed to obey red traffic signal thus striking my vehicle between the driver's side front and driver's side rear doors ("b" pillar). (2) side airbag did not inflate contributing to more serious injuries sustained. (3) vehicle was totaled by insurance company. Could not find contact information on manufacturer to make notifcation of defect.
