Certified 2008 honda accord purchased from in georgia. Driving on i-85 at 55-60mph heard a loud explosion and then hit in the side of the head (at high speed) by the side airbag. Side airbags deployed for absolutely no reason. Could have been in a serious accident or killed. Honda does not want to fix defective part on car and wants over $5k.

Thankfully we have only had premature replacement of brakes. We are aware of consumer complaints only because we are concerned about our product which we assume to be safe and reliable . You can rely on our qualitymaintenance program, we have been alerted by…

Takata recall i get letter after letter from honda promising to replace the airbag. The latest letter tells me to let no one sit in the passenger seat. What about the driver's seat? You are not doing your job. You should tell them that they can't sell any more cars until they fix the ones they have sold. Don't you understand why americans hate their government?
