After I pushed the seat back to allow more room between the steering wheel and the seat the airbag sensor light came on and has been on the entire time the car is driven. The airbags will not deploy and the car is now not safe to drive. I have not gone to the dealer since I have read where Honda has known of the problem and refuses to fix the problems and dealers take advantage of car owners charging them for various repairs that don't fix the problem.

2005 Honda Civic hybrid. I was involved in an accident in which I was hit on the driver side door. My specification sheet on my car states that I have side airbags which is one of the important reasons I bought the car. The accident totaled my vehicle but the side air bag never deployed. I ended up in the emergency room and was told I had a concussion. I was released later that day.

I was driving and took a left turn going to fast about 40-50 and the car rolled over upside down. The airbags didn't go off while I was hanging upside down.
My father was involved in a crash with a 1997 Chevy 1500 pickup while driving his 2005 Honda Civic. The damage to the Honda is extensive. The driver's air bag did not deploy and his neck was broken. The damage literally peeled back the front of the car and exposed both air bag sensors. He survived he accident and is now in rehab. We have two obvious questions: 1) why did the air bag not deploy? 2) could a broken neck have been avoided?
An accident occurred with one other vehicle. My Civic was hit on the front left drivers side. When the accident happened I hit the windshield and then the air bag deployed hitting my chest and not so much my face, resulting in massive swelling on the left side of my face, a 6cm hematoma on my forehead and scalp from hitting the windshield, 2 black eyes and a fractured wrist from hitting the bottom of steering wheel. I had my seat belt on and so did the passenger. From the seat belt on the passenger's side, his injury was a punctured small intestine.
On the date indicated, I was involved in a collision with an oncoming vehicle while making a left hand turn. The air bag did not deploy. The vehicle was declared a total loss by my insurer. The adjusters that performed the assessment stated that the airbag should have deployed in this accident. This is a potential problem with the safety restraint system.
My daughter has a 2005 Honda Civic hybrid. Her car was involved in a one person accident. Her boyfriend was driving and fell asleep at the wheel. He hit a dip in the road on California highway (blue slide rd @ neymouth bluff rd). He went off a 15 foot drop off and then rolled the car 150 yards to the bottom of a ravine. He had his seat belt on. The car had four airbags - none of which deployed. They had to cut the seat belt to get him out and then cut off the top of the roof. There was no front bumper left on the car. He is in critical condition in a California hospital with major head trauma and no facial bone left intact in his face. If the air bags, even one of them had deployed the damage would have been far less.
I was involved in a 3 car wreck, where a lady going approx 45-55 mph hit my 2005 Honda Civic which was stopped and knocked me into a truck ahead of me which was also stopped it totaled my car. Both front and back were completely crashed in and my air bag did not deploy, causing injury.
Consumer stated her son was involved in a rollover accident. Prior to the accident the anti-lock brakes did not work and the air bags did not deploy on impact. The dealership told her the airbags could still be checked to see if they are defective. The vehicle rolled twice and the front end hit the ditch. There was dew on the road and there was a deer in the road. He then slammed on the brakes and they locked up. There was a police report filed. He sustained a bruise collar bone, bruises on his legs, a bump on his head and he has to go to the dentist this week to have his teeth checked. The vehicle was totaled and when the consumer called the dealership they told her to call and file a complaint.
