Air bags, Structure, Apr 17, 2016, crash
MY HONDA CIVIC WAS HIT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR BY A FORD RANGER PICKUP TRUCK. I WAS DRIVING NORTHBOUND ON A CITY STREET IN SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA AND THE TRUCK WAS HEADING SOUTHBOUND AND ATTEMPTED TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN ACROSS THE LANE THAT I WAS OCCUPYING WHEN I WAS HIT. THE DRIVER AIRBAG IN THE TRUCK DEPLOYED, BUT THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG IN MY CIVIC DID NOT DEPLOY. I WAS INJURED BY BROKEN GLASS AND IMPACT OF MY LEFT ARM & SHOULDER AGAINST THE DRIVER DOOR. THE IMPACT FOR WAS SUFFICIENT TO BEND BOTH THE A-PILLAR AND B-PILLAR INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. I BELIEVE THAT THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG IN MY CIVIC WAS DEFECTIVE. NOTE THAT A LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP OFFERED TO RUN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST, BUT SINCE THE VEHICLE IS DRIVABLE, AND WAS TOWED TO A CAR STORAGE YARD AFTER THE ACCIDENT, THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE.

I FEEL THAT EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE BODIES STYLES SHOULD BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED.

AFTER WAITING A FEW HOURS, THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THERE WERE MANY THINGS WRONG WITH THE CAR. THE BOOM SOUND WAS MADE BY THE BREAKAGE OF THE WISHBONE THAT HOLDS THE LOWER ENGINE AND BESIDES THAT IT NEEDED 2 TIRES, ALIGNMENT, CABINFILTER, BRAKE FLUSH, P/S RACK.
