WHILE DRIVING THIS 95 HONDA CIVIC SI, ON 4 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS WHEN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT WAS MADE WITH MY CAR; THE AIRBAGS (FRONT DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS) DID NOT DEPLOY! ONE OCCASION WAS WHEN WE HIT A DEER HEAD ON. THE HOOD OF THE CAR WAS CRUMPLED IN, THE POOR DEER DIED, ONE HEADLIGHT WAS KNOCKED OUT. THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. ON A SECOND OCCASION, DRIVING ON FREEWAY AT 65 MPH, MY SON SWERVED AND HIT THE SIDERAIL, THEN SWERVED ONTO THE MEDIAN OF THE ROAD. THE ENTIRE BACK/SIDE OF PASSENGERS SIDE WAS DESTROYED TO THE POINT THAT REPAIR WOULD BE MORE THAN VALUE OF CAR...METAL WAS LITERALLY RIPPED OUT AND PART OF THE BUMPER TORN OFF; YET NO AIRBAG DEPLOYED!! CAR WAS STILL DRIVABLE, MY SON TOOK IT OUT AND HAD AN ACCIDENT WHERE HE RAN INTO A BUILDING ADDING MORE DAMAGE TO THE DEER DAMAGE AT THE FRONT END OF THE CAR...NO AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT!!!!! AGAIN!!! AND THE LAST OCCASION THE POOR CAR WAS PARKED NEAR THE CAMPUS OF A UNIVERSITY, SOMEONE RAN INTO THE BACK END OF THE CAR, AT A SPEED OF 45ISH. THE BACK WAS SMASHED IN, AND CRUMPLED. BUMPER ,BACK DOOR ETC COMPLETELY TORN UP. THE CAR NOT SAFE TO DRIVE, GAS TANK ONLY ABLE TO HOLD 1 GALLON OF GAS AND FUMES NOW COMING INTO CAR BECAUSE OF DAMAGE...YET STILL NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED!!! THIS LAST INCIDENT(THANK GOD) WAS THE ONLY TIME THAT NO ONE WAS IN THE CAR WHEN IT OCCURRED! WHAT IS WRONG WITH HONDAS AIRBAGS?? IS THIS PREVALENT WITH THE ACURA'S TOO? I HAVE ONE OF THEM WHERE THE LIGHTS COME ON FOR NO APPARENT REASON. INCIDENTS FROM 03 TO 06, ONE INCIDENT WITH POLICE INVOLVEMENT. *TR

1995 HONDA JUST PURCHASED USED. AFTER PURCHASE, NOTICED BROKEN WELDS ON BODY (BOTH SIDES OF VEHICLE) WHERE DOORS ATTACH TO VEHICLE BODY. WENT TO HONDA SERVICE, BUT SERVICE TECH HAD NO ANSWER, WAS NO ASSISTANCE. ALSO ASKED ABOUT 5/1999 TECH BULLETIN FROM AMER. HONDA TO INSTALL AIRBAG SWITCH (CHILD RIDES IN FRONT OF CAR) - SERVICE TECH SAID NOT AWARE OF BULLETIN, DID NOT OFFER ASSISTANCE. ASKED SERVICE TECH WHY OIL DIPSTICK PREMATURELY RUSTING-OFF, ON TOP (EVERY DEL-SOL I'VE SEEN HAS THIS PROBLEM... RUST COULD EVENTUALLY GO INTO ENGINE CRANKCASE) BUT SERVICE TECH HAD NO EXPLANATION, DID NOT OFFER ASSISTANCE. THE FIRST 2 PROBLEMS COULD LEAD TO PERSONAL INJURY, AND THE 3RD PROBLEM COULD LEAD TO ENGINE FAILURE.*AK

SOUGHT VEHICLE HISTORY TO SEE IF AIRBAG SWITCH INSTALLED - COULD NOT GET PREV. OWNERS CONTACT INFO, AND COULD NOT LOCATE ON/OFF SWITCH FOR AIRBAG. CHILDREN RIDE IN THE FRONT OF THIS CAR, AND WE FEEL A SWITCH SHOULD BE INSTALLED W/OUT COST. ALSO CONCERNED WITH TSB 96010 (1/96) - A/C COMPRESSOR, AND MOST RECENT ONE ABOUT A POSSIBLE SEAT-BELT PROBLEM. I WANT MY QUESTIONS ANSWERED AND PROBLEMS CORRECTED, AS NEEDED.
