Airbags did not deploy in a crash by model year
What owners say
I was driving on a Nevada highway and getting into an off ramp with mild traffic. I attempted to break so I could stop behind another driver and realized my breaks weren't working. I then put my entire body weight on the breaks and they failed to stop or slow down my vehicle. I ended up colliding into the vehicle ahead at 50 mph. Even with an impact of 50mph not a single airbag went off. I sustained head injuries. This could have been lethal. Myself and my passenger could have died. The breaks failed resulting in a collision and the air bags did NOT go off. My vehicle was totaled on the spot and i spent over 7 hours in the hospital due to my vehicles failing to keep me safe. I did reasrch and almost every other 2016 Honda HRV has a recall for the breaks and somehow mine did not when the breaks failure could have killed me.
I have been in two car accidents and none of my airbags went off . In 2017 I tried to keep from hitting a deer . My car went down a embankment and I had 10,000 dollars of front end damage. My airbags didn't deploy I had head injuries and a broken nose due to hitting the steering wheel. 2nd accident I was stuck in traffic a stand still. 10/2019 I was hit from behind by two cars who pushed me into a vehicle in front of me. No airbags went off. I now have spinal injuries and permeated neck injuries.

Dec. 30, 2015 I purchased a honda hr-v lx, on jan. 9, 2016 2:34 a.m. I was driving home on a city street and suddenly the drivers side steering wheel airbag deployed unexpectedly causing my view to be obstructed, resulting in the automobile leaving the road causing extensive damage to the right side front & back wheels, tires, wheel assembly and undercarriage. A trucker witness the event and immediately called the police. He stayed with me because I quickly got out of the car since I thought it was on fire due to a strong fire odor a smoke. I've never experience anything like this before until my mother arrived. At 2:50 a.m. 2- birmingham police officers surveyed the car and issued an incident report for damage since no accident took place, meaning I didn't hit anyone or anything and no body damage was seen, I was about 5-mins from home. I was more shaken up that injured. My nose was just sore for several days and did not require medical attention. Since my new honda was not drive-able, the aaa road service was called, the towing service arrived at 4:10 a.m. And I had it towed backs to to the dealership where I purchased it. They said that this was highly unusual, I must have hit a pot hole in the road that caused the air bag to deploy. The road in questioned that I was on is a newly paved road, no the pot hole assumption didn't ring true. There was thought a pothole leaving the dealership december 30, 2015 when I purchased the car and the airbag did not deploy then. I contacted honda america and was advised to file a claim with my automobile insurance company. My car is still at the collision shop with total damages $9,282.92. I will be glad to furnish you with the honda case number: 04389710 & police incident number:.2016-00005625, and alfa claims number:
