I was involved in a major car accident on the freeway involving my 2017 honda civic. Traffic was at a slow/stop on the freeway and a tahoe collided into my vehicle. I was sandwiched in-between a nissan titan and chevy tahoe. My car was totaled and sustained significant damage to both the front and back. Despite this major impact, none of my airbags deflated.

Two dealers say nothing is wrong and honda says if they can't find anything wrong they won't start replacing parts until the problem goes away. Which i find unacceptable for safety equipment. I can not have the airbag fail…

The front bumper shows no significant damage to warrant the deployment of the airbags. Neither one of the passengers was hurt except for minor burns on the hand of the driver due to the deployment of the airbag. It seems that the airbag…
