THE WIRES THAT CONNECT TO THE FUEL INJECTORS APPEAR TO HAVE THEIR INSULATION MELTED AWAY REVEALING THE COPPER WIRE. MULTIPLE INJECTOR WIRES ARE INVOLVED.

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED AN ESTIMATE ON THE DAMAGES FROM THE APPRAISER/INSURANCE COMPANY. VEHICLE WAS HIT ON THE DRIVER SIDE ON THE HEADLIGHT AT AN ANGLE. THIS THREW THE VEHICLE INTO A DITCH ON THE RIGHT SIDE. THE I-BEAM FROM THE FRAME CAN BE SEEN THRU THE BUMPER TO ILLUSTRATE THE IMPACT ON BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE. THE POLICE AND THE TOW TRUCK OPERATOR IMMEDIATELY POINTED OUT THAT THEY FELT THE DRIVER AIRBAG SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH HONDA CONSUMER AFFAIRS ON 5/7/01, BUT HAVE NOT HEARD A WORD FROM THEM SINCE. I WOULD LIKE TO GET THE CAR INSPECTED BY A PROFESSIONAL BEFORE ANYONE STARTS TAMPERING WITH THE VEHICLE.*AK
