    I was in a parking garage and pulling into a parking spot. I was within 2 feet of the concrete wall and foot over break when my car accelerated with enough force to deploy the airbag and push the frame into the radiator. It happened so fast, i tried to brake but it was over within seconds. I could not have been going more than 2mph or less as i did not even have foot on gas.

    Though 2004 honda accords are being recalled due to deadly airbag malfunctions, and though honda was initially adding cars to the recall list by customer request, honda has refused to add my 2004 honda accord to the vehicle recall list and replace its airbags. A second 2004 honda accord, that i purchased the same year from the same dealership and later sold, is on the recall list, which adds to my valid concerns…

    My vehicle is part of the takata airbag recall. I heard on the news this morning that it may take 2-5 years to complete this recall. In the meantime would it be safer to disconnect the airbag until it can be replaced? It seems to me that this would be the most logical solution since, even in a minor fender bender the airbag could possibly deploy and cause serious injury.
