SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR, AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 25 MPH AND WAS HIT HEAD-ON BY A DRIVER IN A FORD TAURS TRAVELING ABOUT 40 MPH IN THE WRONG LANE. BOTH AIR BAGS IN THE TARUS DEPLOYED AND MINE, IN THE 1999 HONDA CIVIC DID NOT DEPLOY. THE IMPACT OF THE CRASH HAS CAUSED INJURIES TO MY CHEST FROM THE SEATBELT WHICH PROBABLY COULD BE EXPECTED, AND SAVED MY LIFE; AND INJURIES TO MY NECK AND BACK FROM THE FORWARD THRUST CAUSED BY THE HEAD -ON IMPACT. BUT, THE AIR BAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED IN THE HONDA. IT IS UNREASONABLE TO THINK THEY WOULD NOT DEPLOY BASED ON THE DEGREE OF THE IMPACT . THE HONDA BODY SHOP MANAGER SAID THE OTHER CAR HIT THE HONDA ABOVE THE FRAME RAILS, WHICH IS WHY THEY DID NOT DEPLOY. IF THAT IS THE CASE, THE AIR BAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY IN MOST CRASHES THAT THIS VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN. THIS IS A VEHICLE DESIGN DEFECT. I HAVE DIGITAL PICTURES OF THE DAMAGED HONDA . SINCERELY, [XXX], CSP.*AK PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

SEAT BELTS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
ON MY 1988 HONDA CIVIC, I FOUND OUT THROUGH THE INTERNET ,THAT THERE WERE RECALLS FOR THE EFI CONTROL UNIT, A RECALL FOR THE SEATBELTS, AND A RECALL FOR THE IGNITOR, AND FOR SOME REASON I NEVER RECEIVED THOSE RECALLS. I BEEN DRIVING THE CAR WITH THE BAD EFI, AND THE IDLE JUST JUMPS UP AND DOWN, AND NOW MY IGNITOR IS GONE BAD AND THE CAR WON'T START. I ALMOST GOT HIT FROM THE BACK BECAUSE THE IGNITOR FAILED WHILE I WAS ON THE RIGHT LANE IN THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR SHUTTERS AND STALLS...THE EFI UNIT JUST SUDDENLY SPEEDS UP THE CAR, SINCE THE IDLE JUMPS UP..I SPENT SO MUCH MONEY CHANGING THE GOOD PARTS. I WOULD LIKE HONDA TO REPLACE THE IGNITOR AND THE EFI UNIT FREE OF CHARGE, NOW THAT I KNOW THOSE 2 PARTS ARE THE PROBLEMS ALL THESE YEARS.. PLEASE CHK THIS SITE ALSO: HTTP://EARTHRENEWAL.ORG/ARE_HONDA_AUTOMOBILES_SAFE_AND_R.HTM ..PLEASE WRITE BACK ASAP..THANK YOU..
