    Dashboard illustrates and indicates "side airbag" is turned off, randomly. This happens frequently(once a week), while nothing is blocking or conflicting with it's normal operation. In the event of a side collision, i'm deeply concerned this could be an electrical issue or faulty sensors for which will not allow the air bag to work properly.. Or worse... Not at all. *tr

    2009 honda accord airbags didn't deploy with radiator wrapped around engine on a front end crash. The other vehicle was a jeep and was hit in the side and all the airbags were deployed. This was not a minor accident as they are thinking of totaling out the vehicle. My mother in law weighs around 100 pounds, but the airbags should have been deployed. She was taken to the hospital, with chest injuries. *tr
