MY DAUGHTER WAS IN AN ACCIDENT THE OTHER NIGHT AND HER AIRBAG DID NOT GO OFF. SHE WAS DRIVING 50 MPH ON RT. 152 WHEN SOMEONE PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF HER ATTEMPTING TO CROSS THE STREET. MY DAUGHTER APPLIED THE BRAKES TO AVOID HITTING THE OTHER VEHICLE. UPON IMPACT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WENT OFF BUT THE DRIVER SIDE DID NOT!

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT AROUND 65 MPH, ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR SEEMED LIKE IT WAS BRAKING BY ITSELF WITHOUT ME PRESSING THE BRAKES. I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND AFTER SPENDING HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS, FOUND OUT THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS DAMAGED AND BEYOND THE SECOND GEAR, IT IS SLIPPING. THIS IS WHAT CAUSED THAT DANGEROUS BEHAVIOR ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS COULD HAVE EASILY LED TO AN ACCIDENT BY BEING REAR ENDED OR WORSE. HONDA SHOULD REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION.

TAKATA RECALL----I CAN'T FIND OUT WHEN MY '03 ACCORD WILL BE RECALLED OR WHETHER IT'S CONSIDERED AMONG THE MOST AT RISK. HAVE HEARD NOTHING AND NHTSA VIN SEARCH INDICATES NO RECALL SO FAR. THIS IS VERY WORRISOME AS I HAVE ONLY ONE EYE AND A CRASH WITH THIS DEFECTIVE AIR BAG COULD LEAD TO TOTAL BLINDNESS OR WORSE.

ALTHOUGH MY VEHICLE IS NOT LISTED I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE AIRBAG LIGHTS COMING ON WHEN THEY SHOULD NOT.
