Description of the problem | As i was driving to work at 4:30 am in heavy fog i hit a deer that was standing in the road. I noticed as i got out of the vehicle the car said something about the airbag sensor, well i didn't think nothing of it as i was worried about the condition my car was in at the time. Well the body shop that fixed my car stated the airbag should have 100% deployed due to the fact the sensor was busted and the wire was completely into. My concern is why in the world did the airbag not deploy? I am glad it didn't but what if it had been a collision with a car. Would the airbags not deploy and i take a chance on dying because of faulty airbags? I am really upset about this situation. I do not feel safe driving this car now... And i loved this car and one reason i bought this was because of safety.. But now i do not know if i made the right choice. Now the car is "fixed" the check airbag and emission system light is on. I am taking it to honda as soon as i can, but i am driving this car without seat belt working and the airbags not working... Can someone please help me with this? Thank you... |
