A drunk driver hit my car along with six others, and my car spun into the highway wall and totaled the car with an impact probably 40 or 50 mph and airbags did not go off

My Check air bag system light came on today. No one as been involved in an accident but it does worry me to know that while this light is on the air bag would not deploy if me or my child are involved in an accident. Would like to have this problem investigated and repair before anything bad were to happen.

A side impact collision that resulted in the tire snapping off the frame and the airbags did not deploy. Astonished by the craftsmanship of the wheel assembly because of how easily the tire can snap off. The other driver speed at impact was approximately 30+mph. This is not a safe vehicle to be involved in a collision.

My wife and daughter were in an accident 10/24/15. The front of the honda civic struck the back of another car. The air bags did not deploy, the seat belt shield them in but no longer function. I took the car into honda dealership in lake worth, fl, a diagnostic was performed and the computer system was deemed to be not working. The force of the impact was strong enough that the driver and front seat passenger seat belts need to replaced. I purchased the car from this dealership in march 15' after seeing a carfax report saying that there was nothing wrong with the vehicle...updated 11/04/15 *bf updated 1/4/2015

Was traveling 70 MPH on state highway. Was cutoff by large pick-up truck. Swerved off the road hit a metal sign took it down. Continued to drive until I hit a field the speed was too high for me to slam on the breaks. My airbag never deployed causing injury to my back. An airbag not deploying at that high of a speed concerns me. They repaired the car which I am really not comfortable driving.

My wife was drive at about 5mph..on a little street in sacramento... She was making a left turn...when an SUV did see her single and alcam from behind and hit her going about 20mph...they both spin out of control... There were no injuries..but a witness states that they seen multiple accidents in the same intersection.. And that about almost 100% of the time its a roll over...due to the angle orlf the road and speed of the other vehicles...now after the hard impact she spun of control came to a stop and no air bags deployed.. Ever...not one single light came on...I'm just concerned because if the car would have rolled over and no air bags would have deployed... Then she might have got injured really bad. If this situation is resolved I'm going to replace the civic for something different.
