Filed Sep 28, 2026 · Airbags · NY

1-The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) / active collision avoidance system failed. Warning lights are actively displayed on the dashboard indicating that the SRS and collision mitigation systems are disabled/malfunctioning. The vehicle is parked and available for inspection upon request 2- Because the SRS / collision safety system is completely non-functional, the primary driver and passengers are operating a vehicle where airbags and active restraint systems may fail to deploy during a crash, presenting an immediate safety risk on public roads. 3-Yes. The safety defect was identified, but the selling dealership refused to provide assistance or perform the necessary repairs to resolve the active safety defect. 4-The vehicle issue was reported directly to the selling dealership, but they failed to complete repairs. Additionally, a formal complaint has been filed and opened with the State DMV Vehicle Safety Complaint Unit to investigate the unroadworthy condition of the vehicle. 5-SRS and collision system warning indicators appeared on the dashboard. Upon inspecting repair options, the vehicle warranty company confirmed that SRS/collision system components are strictly excluded from coverage, leaving an unaddressed safety defect. 1. Attempted Warranty Repair: Contacted the extended warranty provider, who formally denied coverage because SRS and collision systems are excluded under the policy terms. 2. Contacted Selling Dealership: Reached out directly to the dealership to address the unroadworthy SRS safety fault; the dealer remained non-responsive and failed to resolve the issue. 3. Escalated to State DMV: Opened an official case with the state DMV Vehicle Safety Complaint Unit regarding the selling of a vehicle with an active, unaddressed SRS safety defect. 4. Escalated to Financing Lender (Credit Acceptance): Sent formal notice to the auto loan holder requesting assistance or escalation; the lender refused to assist

I am temporarily at [XXX]. The brake light on the dash will pop up in orange while driving and the steering wheel will turn from left to right at certain times while driving. I am not too close to another vehicle. The air bag indicator light flashes at times. The driver car seat will move forward when I unlock the vehicle at times. The trunk pops open at times after having been securely shut. I have had some work done on it at Lucas Tire and Automotive in Brewton, Al. I have had personal property and money stolen out of it as well as paperwork containing personal information/financial information stolen. It’s created substantial loss from me.

On June 9, 2025, my 2016 Honda Accord’s driver seatbelt detached and yanked my body with excessive force during a collision, it felt like not lifted me up to the roof The seatbelt’s jerking motion was so odd and intense causing serious injuries including a ruptured breast implant, nerve damage, and cervical spine trauma. The airbags failed to deploy despite a front and side impact. Immediately afterward, both seatbelt and airbag warning lights illuminated. The car has been in repair storage (Kia Willowbrook Ford) since June 16, 2025, without explanation or safety findings from Honda. Honda said the seatbelt sensor is backorder but no one can give me an ETA and I need a vehiclethat is safe. The part has been on backorder for close to 5 months!! This is a critical safety failure, and I am requesting federal investigation into possible seatbelt or airbag defects associated with this VIN.,
