AIR BAGS
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SRS WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AS THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 08V593000 (AIR BAGS: FRONTAL: DRIVER SIDE INFLATER MODULE). THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT AN ADDITIONAL REPAIR HAD TO BE PERFORMED FOR THE AIR BAG TO FUNCTION PROPERLY, AT THE OWNERS EXPENSE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000. UPDATED08/01/11*LJ UPDATED 09/12/11*JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK
TRAVELING ABOUT 35-40 MPH ON HIGHWAY RAMP, HIT BRAKES TO ENTER CURVE, FELT TRACTION SLIPPING, CAR LOSS CONTROL & SLID ALL OVER ROAD. HIT SIDE CONCRETE BARRIER AT ABOUT 20-25 MPH, AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, MY HUSBAND SMASHED THE WINDSHIELD WITH HIS HEAD AND GOT A CONCUSSION. ROAD WAS WET BUT HAD NO STANDING WATER, OUTSIDE TEMP MID TO UPPER 40'S. THIS APPEARS UNEXPLAINABLE BASED ON CONDITIONS- WE FEEL THERE MUST HAVE BEEN A MECHANICAL FAILURE, OTHERWISE SOMETHING WASN'T DESIGNED PROPERLY. NO CAR, ESPECIALLY WITH ANTI-LOCK BRAKES, SHOULD'VE REACTED THIS WAY UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES. WE HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN THE VEHICLE AND PLAN TO GET RID OF IT IMMEDIATELY. *JB ****DIMSII IVOQ ENTRY POSTED AFTER 12/12/02 CUT-OVER TO ARTEMIS****769310
