TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS, THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG AND CEILING AIR BAG DEPLOYED UNEXPECTEDLY.

THIS IS TO ADD TO NHTSA COMPLAINT #10595971. THE YOUTUBE URL ADDRESS THAT I ORIGINALLY POSTED IS INCORRECT. HERE IS THE CORRECT URL ADDRESS TO VIEW MY VEHICLE?S DEFECT: HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=XIYZNF6IGBE&SNS=EM THIS IS ANOTHER YOUTUBE VIDEO OF A DIFFERENT 2010 CIVIC (NOT MINE) WHO IS HAVING A SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH THE WATER LEAK: HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=EHUBE9YDMM8&SNS=EM. *TR

TURNING LEFT AT A LIGHT, FROM A DEAD STOP, I RAN INTO A CURB ON A DIVIDED HIGHWAY. THE FRONT TIRE WENT OVER THE CURB, BUT ONLY THE FRONT TIRE. AFTER COMING BACK IN CONTACT WITH THE ROAD, THE AIRBAGS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW AND SEAT (2-DOOR COUPE) DEPLOYED. THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO THE SIDE OF THE CAR, I DID NOT COME INTO CONTACT WITH ANY OTHER OBJECTS OR VEHICLES, AND I HAVE PREVIOUSLY HIT CURBS WITHOUT THIS ISSUE. THE MANUAL SAYS THE AIRBAGS SHOULD ONLY DEPLOY IN A MODERATE TO SEVERE ACCIDENT AND THERE IS NO REASON TO BELIEVE THAT A CURB QUALIFIES AS SUCH. MY CAR IS NOW UN-DRIVABLE. I BELIEVE THE SENSORS ARE MALFUNCTIONING IN THEIR ABILITY TO PROPERLY DETECT A "MODERATE TO SEVERE" ACCIDENT. THE CAR IS 3- YEARS OLD, WITH ABOUT 30K MILES ON IT. NO ACCIDENTS PRIOR TO THIS. OTHERS HAVE COMMENTED THAT INJURIES RESULTED FROM AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOYING PROPERLY. PERHAPS THESE SENSORS SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO? *TR

LET ME MAKE SOMETHING CLEAR... THIS IS NOT THE INDICATOR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DASH BOARD THAT LIGHTS WHEN WEIGHT IS DETECTED UNDER 65 LBS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, WHICH APPROPRIATELY DEACTIVATES THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THIS IS AN INDICATOR LIGHT IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER SHOWING 'SIDE AIRBAG OFF', THAT HAS TURNED ON 3 TIMES IN THE PAST THREE MONTHS, ONLY FOR MAYBE 5-10 SECONDS EACH TIME. FIRST NOTICED ON CHRISTMAS DAY GOING AROUND 20MPH, THE LIGHT TURNED ON FOR MAYBE 5 SECONDS, THEN TURNED OFF. LATEST OCCURRENCE WAS LAST WEEKEND, WHILE SITTING AT THE ATM MACHINE. BOTH TIMES I HAD IT IN FOR SERVICE, THEY RUN DIAGNOSTICS ON IT, AND THERE ARE NO CODES LOGGED TO INDICATE AN ERROR CONDITION, AND OF COURSE, BEING THAT IT IS SO SPORADIC, THEY CANNOT REPRODUCE THE CONDITION. THIS IS EXTREMELY CONCERNING TO ME BECAUSE I HAVE A CHILD THAT I WANT TO BE PROTECTED BY ANY AND ALL NECESSARY AIRBAGS IF IN THE UNFORTUNATE EVENT THAT I/WE ARE IN AN ACCIDENT. SO WHICH ONE OF THE 'SIDE' AIRBAG IS NOT WORKING WHEN THAT INDICATOR LIGHTS? ONE? ALL? THE NUMBER OF AIRBAGS THIS CAR HAS, WAS A DEAL-MAKING SELLING POINT AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE. I HAVE REALLY LOST FAITH IN HONDA WITH THIS AND A LOT OF OTHER SERVICE ISSUES. *TR
