I WAS AT A DEAD STOP WHEN I WAS REAR ENDED FROM A LADY TRAVELLING ABOUT 50 I WAS WONDERING IF MY AIR BAGS SHOULD HAVE GONE OFF I AM SUFFERING FROM NECK AND BACK INJURIES FROM THIS ACCIDENT AND I FEEL MY VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN TOTALLED THEY FIXED IT PAYING 10,600 TO THE REPAIR PLACE AND IT STILL DOESNT LOOK RIGHT. *JS
ON MARCH 23, 2011, I WAS INVOLVED IN AN MVA IN NORTHERN CA. I WAS TRAVELING WEST ON HWY. 80 ON A DOWNGRADE. TRAFFIC HAD COME TO A STOP DUE TO AN ACCIDENT. IT HAD BEEN SNOWING AND I WAS TRAVELING AT 25 MPH IN SECOND GEAR. MY VEHICLE IS A HONDA 2008 CRV WITH AUTO 4WD. I TAPPED MY BRAKE AND THERE WAS NO RESPONSE. I TAPPED IT AGAIN WITH NO RESPONSE. I APPLIED STEADY PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH NO RESPONSE. THE BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING. THEY WERE NOT SLOWING OR STOPPING THE VEHICLE. I HAD TO DRIVE INTO THE CONCRETE DIVIDER TO STOP MY CAR. THERE WAS MAJOR DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE BUT FORTUNATELY, MY PASSENGER AND I WERE ABLE TO WALK AWAY WITH MINOR INJURIES. I HAVE ALREADY NOTIFIED HONDA AND THEY HAVE AGREED TO CONDUCT AN INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE WHEN IT IS RELEASED FROM THE BODY SHOP. THEY SAID THERE WERE NO BRAKE ISSUES IN THEIR DATA BASE FOR MY MODEL OF VEHICLE. I ASKED THEM IF MY INCIDENT WOULD BE REPORTED TO YOUR OFFICE. THEY SAID "NO, THEY DID NOT REPORT INDIVIDUAL INCIDENTS SUCH AS MINE UNTIL THERE WERE SEVERAL REPORTED TO THEM". THE NUMBER OF INCIDENTS WAS NOT GIVEN TO ME. I FIND THIS STRANGE. SO I DECIDED I WOULD REPORT THIS DIRECTLY TO YOU. MY VEHICLE IS SCHEDULED FOR COMPLETION NEXT WEEK. IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO TO MAINTAIN THE INTEGRITY OF MY VEHICLE PRIOR TO HONDA CONDUCTING THEIR "INSPECTION". I KNOW THIS MAY SOUND AS THOUGH I DO NOT TRUST THAT HONDA WILL CONDUCT THEIR INVESTIGATION WITH INTEGRITY. PERHAPS IF TOYOTA HAD BEEN MORE FORTH COMING WITH THEIR PROBLEMS, I WOULD BE MORE TRUSTING. I DO NOT WANT ANYONE ELSE TO EXPERIENCE WHAT I DID ON THAT MOUNTAIN SLOPE OR ANYWHERE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER. YOUR INPUT WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. *TR

THE CAR WAS TOTALLED, BUT I WAS ADVISED TO CHECK THE RECALL ON THAT MAKE AND MODEL. I FOUND TWO RECALLS THAT IT SEEMED JUST HAPPENED. I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG THESE AIRBAG PROBLEMS EXISTED.

NONE OF THE SIDE AIRBAGS INFLATED. THE BODY SHOP WAS DISTURBED THAT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I HAVE BEEN IN PHYSICAL THERAPY SINCE THE ACCIDENT. THE VA HAS BEEN SUPPLYING MEDICAL TREATMENT. HONDA DENIED RESPONSIBILITY ALTHOUGH THEY NEVER SAW THE CAR. MY INSURANCE COMPANY PROGRESSIVE WILL NOT REPAIR THE FAULTY AIRBAGS BECAUSE THEY WERE FAULTY BEFORE THE ACCIDENT.

THE INDICATOR IS OFF MOST OF THE TIME. I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT'S GOING TO COME ON AND HOW LONG IT'S GOING TO BE ON. HONDA INDICATED TO ME THAT THE SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE TESTED AT MY EXPENSE. I AM DISABLED AND CAN NOT AFFORD TO HAVE THIS DONE. OR ABLE TO TRAVEL TO SUCH A FACILITY.

Published by model year, not by VIN — may not apply to this vehicle, or may already have been done. Confirm with a dealer.
Due to an incorrect marking, the connecting system may have been fitted to the wrong vehicle. In the event of a rear-end collision, the connecting system can come into contact with the Intelligent Power Unit (IPU). This creates a risk of short-circuit in the high-voltage grid, potentially leading the vehicle to catch fire. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
A reduction in the amount of grease in the steering gearbox during use results in dangerously fluctuating torque during steering. This can create a loss of vehicle's control and increases the risk of accidents and injuries. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
Due to a problem during the production process, the vibration of the engine can cause cracks inside the high-pressure fuel pump. This may lead to a fuel leak, increasing the risk of fire. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
Due to a faulty circuit board in the passenger seat weight sensor, the passenger seat’s occupant detection system may identify a Steering Wheel Sensor (SWS) error and the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) warning light could switch on. This can cause a faulty triggering of the airbags, creating a risk of injuries for a child occupying the passenger seat. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
Due to improper manufacturing of the belt buckle channel, the front seat belt buckles (driver or passenger side) may not lock properly. This could affect the restraining capacity of the safety-belt and increase the risk of injury in the event of an accident. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
The battery cable connecting the battery to the fuse box is not fitted with a fuse. In the event of a collision, the battery cable could be damaged if it is trapped against the vehicle's body. This can lead to a short circuit and possible overheating of the battery cable, which creates a risk of fire and injury. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
