AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
I WAS TRAVELING 25-30 MPH WHEN A BLAZER PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME, AFTER HITTING THEM...I REALIZED THAT NEITHER AIRBAG DEPLOYED ( I DON'T HAVE AN AIRBAG ON/OFF SWITCH) . THIS WAS ODD BECAUSE WE HIT DIRECTLY IN THE MIDDLE ON THE FRONT OF OUR 2005 HONDA CIVIC (4-DOOR) AND THE TOW MAN SAID THAT THERE WAS A SENOR ON BOTH THE DRIVERS SIDE AND THE PASSENGER SIDE, BUT ONLY THE PASSENGER SIDE LOOKED AS IF IT HADN'T BEEN HIT. NOW WHILE SPEAKING WITH THE POLICE MY WIFE WAS ASKED HOW FAST WE WERE TRAVELING AT TIME OF IMPACT AND SHE WAS NOT SURE, ASKING THE OFFICER "HOW FAST DO YOU NEED TO BE TRAVELING TO DEPLOY THE AIRBAGS? BECAUSE IT MUST NOT HAVE BEEN THAT FAST NEITHER ONE HAD TRIGGERED." THE OFFICER STATED WELL HE WOULD HAVE TO GO CHECK THIS OUT BECAUSE THE ACCIDENT SCENE AND THE HONDA'S DAMAGE HE HAD JUST ASSUMED THAT THE AIRBAGS WERE DEPLOYED. NOW I HAVE 7 STITCHES ABOVE MY EYE AND BRUISED CHEST AND KNEES, AND MY WIFE HAS A CHIPPED BONE IN HER NECK. I WOULD NOT BE SO UPSET BUT THIS CAR HAD ABOUT 3500 MILES ON IT AND I HAD MADE 3 CARS PAYMENTS, AND EVERYTIME I SEARCH FOR HONDA AND SAFETY FEATURES THE THING I READ THE MOST IS HOW IT HAD A 5 STAR RATING FOR FRONT IMPACT FOR AIRBAGS. I HAVE ALSO READ UP ON THE NEW AIRBAGS WITH THE SETTINGS FOR HOW FAST, SIZE, AND POSITION OF THE PASSENGERS, WHICH IN THIS CASE MY WIFE AND I WERE BOTH LOOKING FORWARD AND BOTH SHE AND I ARE FULL SIZED ADULTS AND I AM NOT SURE OF THE SPEED IN WHICH THESE NEW AIRBAGS FALL UNDER, BUT 25-30 IS STILL ENOUGH SPEED FOR A GOOD IMPACT AND WE HIT RIGHT IN THE FRONT OF OUR VEHICLE...WE ALSO HAD MY 13 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER WHO WAS FINE. BUT WITH ALL THIS SAID I DON'T UNDERSTAND WITH EVERYTHING STATED AND WE THE CAR AS FAR AS WE KNOW RIGHT NOW CONSIDERED TOTALED WHY WE ARE HURT MORE BECAUSE THERE WERE NO AIRBAGS TO SAVE US. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *JB

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2001 HONDA CIVIC EX 5SP WITH 39,289 MILES STALLED WHEN ENGINE IS WARM. DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AND WHEN SHIFTED RPM'S IMMEDIATELY DROPPED AND ENGINE STALLED. THIS CREATED AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS NO POWER STEERING. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART ENGINE AND AS LONG I KEPT GAS PEDDLE DEPRESSED THE ENGINE WOULDN'T STALL. WHEN THE ENGINE WAS COLD THE ENGINE WOULDN'T STALL BUT DIDN'T IDLE PROPERLY. THIS HAPPENED UNEXPECTEDLY. CAR HAD BEEN RUNNING FINE. THE CAR WAS RETURNED TO THE HONDA DEALER WHERE PURCHASED AND THEY VERIFIED PROBLEM. THEY SAID THEY HAD TO REPROGRAM THE COMPUTER BUT COULDN'T IDENTIFY THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. DESCRIPTION OF WORK THEY PERFORMED WAS "UPDATED VEHICLE PCM WITH HIM". SINCE THEY REPROGRAMMED THE COMPUTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN RUNNING GOOD. HOWEVER, I'M CONCERNED THAT THEY CAN'T DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM AND THAT IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. *NM
