I WAS DRIVING DOING ABOUT 35 MPH AND OUT OF NO WHERE I HEAR THIS BIG POP! THE SIDE AIRBAGS ON THE DRIVER SIDE AND IN THE BACK HAD DEPLOYED. NO ONE HIT ME NOR DID I RUN OVER ANYTHING IN THE STREET.THERE WAS NO TYPE OF IMPACT. THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON. I REPORTED IT TO HONDA DEALERSHIP AS SOON AS I GOT HOME. THEY ASK ME TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN THE NEXT DAY. THE DEALER SHIP AND HONDA AMERICA INSPECTED THE VEHICLE THEIR DETERMINATION WAS THAT THERE WAS UNDERBODY DAMAGE. I COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT THEY SHOWED ME. IT WAS A SCRATCH, LIKE SOMEONE TOOK A SCREWDRIVER OR SOMETHING AND SCRATCHED THE VEHICLE. THIS WAS THERE REASON FOR DEPLOYMENT. LONG STORY SHORT THEY WOULD NOT FIX THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THEY FELT IT WASN'T THEIR FAULT. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH HONDA AND HOW THIS WAS HANDLED. HONDA STATES THEY ARE SO BIG ON SAFETY FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS BUT YET THEY WILL NOT FIX VEHICLES THAT HAVE DEFECTIVE PARTS THAT SHOULD BE ON A RECALL LIST, AND NOW I HAVE A VEHICLE WITH NO SIDE AIRBAGS AND NO SEAT BELT. WHERE IS THE SAFETY CONCERN?? WHAT IF THIS WOULD HAVE CAUSE AND ACCIDENT WHERE SOME ONE WAS INJURY, MY YOUNGEST DAUGHTER WAS IN THE CAR WITH ME WHEN THIS AIRBAG DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON. THANK GOD IT DIDN'T CAUSE ME TO HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. I HAVE DONE MY OWN RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS SAME INCIDENT HAS HAPPENED TO SEVERAL OTHER CUSTOMERS. CLEARLY THERE IS A MALFUNCTION IN THIS PART/SENSOR. WHEN IS HONDA GOING TO TAKE SOME RESPONSIBILITY AND KEEP THEIR CUSTOMERS SAFE AND DO THE RIGHT THING!!! I WILL CONTINUE TO PURSUE THIS BECAUSE I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT HAPPEN AND IT WAS NOT CAUSE BY SOMETHING HITTING UNDERNEATH MY VEHICLE. *TR
