The driver was [xxx] and we we're headed home down 184/conerross creek road and we came to a complete stop at a four way stop sign. [xxx] looked left and seen a vehicle approaching the four way and [xxx] then looked right an he looked straight and then began to let off the break pedal and then we got hit on the drivers side near the headlight area. It is totaled. When we got hit the passenger air bags we had replaced for a recall about a year ago. My head cracked the windshield, my chest hit the dash which caused a broken sternum and two displaced disc. The passenger air bag came out late, the two passenger side curtain airbags also didn't deploy. I have all the documentation.

The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was approximately 268,000.
Main headlights failed for a time period (~15 minutes) at various times. Had the car for 2 years and problem occurred at least 4 times. The last time was last week when there was a terrible storm. First time when it was snowing really hard. The other two times the weather was just fine, no rain or snow. Took the vehicle to the honda dealer twice, but both times the dealer said they can't do anything because they can't duplicate the problem. Very disappointed with honda.
