The contact owns a 2008 Honda Accord. While exiting the front passenger side of the vehicle, the contact placed a bag onto the seat and closed the front door. Immediately, the front passenger side air bags deployed. The contact stated that her son was seated on the rear passenger side of the vehicle during the failure, but was not injured. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection and they stated that the door was shut with too much force, which caused the air bag to deploy. The vehicle was repaired at the cost of $2,700. The vehicle was inspected by an insurance adjuster, who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The adjuster stated that the failure could have been due to an electrical defect. The insurance company will not cover the repair cost. The contact called the manufacturer and was informed that because the dealer inspected the vehicle and found no defects, no compensation would be provided. The failure and current mileages were 13,153 updated 05/27/09 updated 06/01/09.

Airbags did not deploy, a head on accident going at 40 mph hit a car going 45 mph. My bumper in the front was pulled off and the hood is bent but no airbags went off.

A month ago I had picked my boyfriend up from the airport and when he got out at a gas station he shut/slammed my front passenger door on my new 2008 Honda Accord. When this happened my side airbags on the passenger side deployed; both side window airbags and the side seat airbag. There was not enough impact for this to happen and no physical damage to the car. We were shocked by them deploying and counted our blessings no one was in that side of the car at that time. The car was in park and I was in the drivers seat. We have been fighting with Honda for a month now and they refuse to fix it under my warranty. My insurance has been investigating this for a week and a half now and too strongly feel this is a warranty issue. No one has ever heard of this happening and now I am still stuck with a brand new car that has the airbags taped up for me to be able to see out my windows. I feel this is defiantly a warranty issue and I want it to be known and people be warn so hopefully this will not happen to their new Accord.
