Description of the problem | While decelerating (sudden), my seatbelt tensioner and airbag deployed with no collision or contact with anything. Initially, the honda dealer said that the airbag only deploys when there is contact. Both honda dealer and aaa (my insurance) examined the vehicle and found no sign of collision or damage. Honda has now said that in a sudden deceleration, the airbag is designed to deploy without any contact. The unneeded deployment of the systems could have led to an impact and worse damage. |
