The driver airbag broke my right lower arm. It broke both bones and tore a…

I am requesting information on what to do, because it is imperative for my job to have passengers in my car. No incident has taken place involving a malfunction, but i wish to resolve or know my options and limitations more thoroughly regarding this issue. *tr

I don't know what a takata recall is, but per honda's website i have no recalls. I was in an accident on 5/21 around 2pm.

She scraped the whole passenger side door then her car lodged into my car near where the door & front part of the car meet on…

I have a 2012 honda civic and i take very good care of it. I just noticed that my steering wheel has a crack in the middle of it where the airbag comes out of.

Was driving on freeway in heavy traffic, car in front braked, hit brakes and they just went to the floor with no effort to stop the vehicle. Slammed into car in front with our 4 and 5 year old boys in back seat. Geico called the car a total loss. Honda refuses to inspect the car in fear of manufacturer defects. To make it worse the airbags didn't deploy. Roads were dry, no ice or anything else to cause inability to…
