We were driving about 35 mph when the car suddenly beeped a warning “brakes” while simultaneously SLAMMING on the brakes. There was a metal construction plate on the roadway at the place where the incident occurred. My left wrist was injured as it was bent back by the steering wheel, my wife wasn’t watching the road and is complaining of neck pain/strain. We feel very lucky there was no one behind us at the time.

On Thursday, February 17, 2022, I drove home from work in Waycross, Georgia. I was driving my properly-maintained 2017 Honda CRV. I was wearing my seat belt, and the shoulder harness was properly secured across my chest. The day was clear, and at 4:03 p.m., I approached the intersection of Jenkins St, Tebeau St, Plant Ave, and Francis St. This intersection is in the downtown area; it is treated like a perpendicular intersection, although, as you can see from the attached photo, it is not, in fact, perpendicular. There are stop signs on Jenkins and Tebeau; travelers on Plant and Francis do not have to stop. Because of how Francis Street curves onto Plant, and because of the fact that Francis emerges from under an overpass, visibility is poor. I was on Francis St, which becomes Plant Ave headed east. A construction worker driving a 2016 Chevy Silverado K350 TK was fully stopped at the stop sign at the Jenkins St intersection. After stopping, he pulled into the intersection, T-boning my CRV and sending it into a series of spins. My head violently hit the window several times as the vehicle spun. When the CRV finally stopped, my first thought was, "Where are The airbags?" Side curtain airbags had deployed on the passenger side of the vehicle, but no airbags had deployed on the driver's side anywhere--or from the steering wheel. An ambulance took me to the local emergency room. I have a concussion. Had the airbags deployed as expected, that might not be the case. My safety was put at risk by the airbags' failure to deploy--basic physics requires that in a violent collision, the driver is protected after being propelled into the door and window. The CRV is in a Copart lot. I have requested that it be kept available for inspection. The CRV was deemed totaled; I do not know if anyone inspected the airbags. There were no prior warnings. During the instrument panel went berserk. Multiple error messages flashed simultaneously, despite the front end not being hit.

NHTSA #11435299
2017 Honda CRV Touring 19, 647 miles. As I was approaching a red light, I stepped on my brake to slow down and brake for the red light. Upon trying to stop, I had NO BRAKE POWER WHATSOEVER. Having no brake power I could not stop, I did have an accident and hit another vehicle. My vehicle still would not stop as I continued to try and brake. I drifted approximately 1/2 mile from the accident until it fully stopped. My airbag went off and my Honda Link did contact the police and ambulance. I had minor injuries and just went to my primary physician. I do have a police report. At this time it is at an independent collision center, once repaired it will go to Honda for scanning and diagnose. I am told it can be repaired, BUT, who will diagnose why this happened, and I don’t know why automatic emergency braking system didn’t work.
