Description of the problem | As a result of my car having to brake so hard and sudden to stop a possible accident the airbags exploded also braking the seat belts without there being an actual impact. The police arrived, both the sheriff an a local officer. They testified as there being no impact and that it was a factory mistake and said an accident report was useless also to call honda and state our problem. We did so and honda refused to pay for the damages. When the insurance got involved they said it was not a accident and refused to pay. I understand is difficult for honda to accept an error in one of their vehicles; but it also has to be understood that i shouldn't pay for an error that i didn't commit. I hope you guys can help. |
