Airbag sensor light for front passenger seat has recently lit up and won-??t turn off. Honda dealer said my daughter needs to replace the passenger seat weight sensor which means replacing the whole seat at $3000+ cost. Please check, thank you.

Hi I am [xxx] and I was the passenger in a car accident on April 3rd, 2020. The driver was [xxx] and we we're headed home down 184/conerross creek road and we came to a complete stop at a four way stop sign. [xxx] looked left and seen a vehicle approaching the four way and [xxx] then looked right an he looked straight and then began to let off the break pedal and then we got hit on the drivers side near the headlight area. It is totaled. When we got hit the passenger air bags we had replaced for a recall about a year ago. My head cracked the windshield, my chest hit the dash which caused a broken sternum and two displaced disc. The passenger air bag came out late, the two passenger side curtain airbags also didn't deploy. I have all the documentation. Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

At approximately 35 to 40 mph when applying the brakes lately due to traffic slowing down in front I had absolutely no brake pedal at all. The pedal went immediately down to the floor and the vehicle had failed to slow or stop. To avoid accident I veered to the dirt shoulder and begin to spin out of control ending up back on the road and crashing into another vehicle. The seatbelts had failed to lock as if the brake pedal was never depressed and it appeared that as soon as the tires hit the dirt shoulder the vehicle gain speed. In addition airbags were never deflated.

Car lost control on the road and moved outside of the road when the side air bags got deployed. When they got deployed the air bags did not inflate. This has caused the head to be hit on the windows of the car pretty hard. How could it happen that the air bags god deployed but no air got inflated into the airbags. They just fell as if a cloth \ curtain was coming out without inflating. Attached pictures should give you an idea.
