Honda Cr-v Air Bags Safety Report | July 09, 2008
Reported on July 09, 2008
| MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING MY 2002 HONDA CRV EX AND LOST CONTROL AND ROLLED THE CAR. IT ENDED UP LYING ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND HIT A GUARD RAIL WHICH FINALLY STOPPED IT FROM SLIDING ON IT SIDE ALONG THE FREEWAY. THE INSURANCE COMPANY WAS SURE THAT THEY WILL TOTAL THE CAR. THE EX MODEL NOT ONLY HAD FRONT AIR BAGS BUT ALSO SIDE AIR BAGS. NOT A ONE OF THESE WENT OFF. THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE CAR WAS VERY SMASHED AND THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW WAS BROKEN OUT ALONG WITH THE WINDSHIELD. HER ARM HAD GLASS CLEAR DOWN TO THE BONE ALONG WITH A 7 INCH CUT THAT IS STITCHED IN 3 LEVELS. FOR AS MUCH TRAUMA AS THE CAR TOOK I FEEL IT HELD TOGETHER PRETTY GOOD (TOP DID NOT CRUSH IN EXCEPT A LITTLE IN THE BACK ) AND THAT SHE IS LUCKY TO BE ALIVE. I FEEL THAT AT LEAST THOUGH THE FRONT AIRBAGS AND DRIVERS SIDE ONE SHOULD HAVE GONE OFF. AIRBAGS ARE NOT LIKE A SMOKE DETECTOR THAT YOU CAN TEST, YOU RELY ON THAT THEY WILL WORK WHEN YOU NEED THEM. *TR | |
