Chronological view of owner reports
The driver side airbag. And yes, it can be inspected. I was involved in a low impact accident, where I struck a minor curb. The airbag deployed in my face, causing a loss of consciousness and ongoing concussion. No warning signs at all. Not yet, the vehicle is being looked at on Monday. The vehicle was inspected by the police.
I WAS T-BONED ON THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR BY A FORD TAURUS SEDAN THAT RAN A RED LIGHT AT A RELATIVELY HIGH RATE OF SPEED (I WAS TAKING A LEFT HAND TURN BUT THE CAR WAS STOPPED AND I WAS YIELDING TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC THAT WAS GOING STRAIGHT). THE TAURUS HIT THE BACK-END OF A HONDA CRV AND THEN HIT ME. THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR COLLAPSED ONTO ME AND THE METAL FROM THE DOOR GOUGED MY BACK. THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW SHATTERED AND CUT ME WITH GLASS. THE SIDE AIR BAG CURTAIN AND THE DOOR AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. THE EMERGENCY PERSONNEL WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THIS AND LOOKED AT THE ISSUE AND TRYING TO DEPLOY THE BAGS, WHICH STILL DID NOT DEPLOY. THE AIRBAGS IN THE OTHER CARS DEPLOYED. I SAVED THE PIECES FOR ACURA FOR INVESTIGATE BUT THEY HAVE DECLINED. THEY WILL RUN A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK FOR ME ONCE THE CAR IS FULLY REPAIRED. ACURA HAS CONFIRMED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS AND THERE WERE NO INDICATOR LIGHTS ON IN THE CAR TO INDICATE AN ISSUE. I HAVE MY CAR SERVICED AT ACRURA AND HAVE NOT BEEN INFORMED OF ANY AIRBAG REPAIRS.
