WHILE DRIVING THIS 95 HONDA CIVIC SI, ON 4 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS WHEN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT WAS MADE WITH MY CAR; THE AIRBAGS (FRONT DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS) DID NOT DEPLOY! ONE OCCASION WAS WHEN WE HIT A DEER HEAD ON. THE HOOD OF THE CAR WAS CRUMPLED IN, THE POOR DEER DIED, ONE HEADLIGHT WAS KNOCKED OUT. THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. ON A SECOND OCCASION, DRIVING ON FREEWAY AT 65 MPH, MY SON SWERVED AND HIT THE SIDERAIL, THEN SWERVED ONTO THE MEDIAN OF THE ROAD. THE ENTIRE BACK/SIDE OF PASSENGERS SIDE WAS DESTROYED TO THE POINT THAT REPAIR WOULD BE MORE THAN VALUE OF CAR...METAL WAS LITERALLY RIPPED OUT AND PART OF THE BUMPER TORN OFF; YET NO AIRBAG DEPLOYED!! CAR WAS STILL DRIVABLE, MY SON TOOK IT OUT AND HAD AN ACCIDENT WHERE HE RAN INTO A BUILDING ADDING MORE DAMAGE TO THE DEER DAMAGE AT THE FRONT END OF THE CAR...NO AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT!!!!! AGAIN!!! AND THE LAST OCCASION THE POOR CAR WAS PARKED NEAR THE CAMPUS OF A UNIVERSITY, SOMEONE RAN INTO THE BACK END OF THE CAR, AT A SPEED OF 45ISH. THE BACK WAS SMASHED IN, AND CRUMPLED. BUMPER ,BACK DOOR ETC COMPLETELY TORN UP. THE CAR NOT SAFE TO DRIVE, GAS TANK ONLY ABLE TO HOLD 1 GALLON OF GAS AND FUMES NOW COMING INTO CAR BECAUSE OF DAMAGE...YET STILL NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED!!! THIS LAST INCIDENT(THANK GOD) WAS THE ONLY TIME THAT NO ONE WAS IN THE CAR WHEN IT OCCURRED! WHAT IS WRONG WITH HONDAS AIRBAGS?? IS THIS PREVALENT WITH THE ACURA'S TOO? I HAVE ONE OF THEM WHERE THE LIGHTS COME ON FOR NO APPARENT REASON. INCIDENTS FROM 03 TO 06, ONE INCIDENT WITH POLICE INVOLVEMENT. *TR

I HAVE A 95 HONDA CIVIC VX I PURCHASED NEW FROM THE LOCAL DEALER HERE IN AUSTIN TEXAS. FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS MY CAR WOULD STALL OUT ON THE HIGHWAY AND A COUPLE OF TIMES AROUND TOWN FOR NO REASON AT ALL, BUT WOULD COME BACK ON A FEW SECONDS LATER. TODAY AS I WRITE THIS MESSAGE I AM WAITING FOR A TOW TRUCK TO COME GET ME AND MY HONDA CIVIC FROM THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. MY CAR FINALLY DIED OUT TODAY WITH THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS ABOVE BUT THIS TIME THE CAR WOULDN'T START AGAIN. I CAN GET THE CAR TO RUN IF I ONLY MANUALLY RELEASE THE IGNITION KEY A LITTLE BEFORE THE "ON" POSITION. IF I LET THE KEY GO ALL THE WAY BACK TO ON TO THE NORMAL "ON POSITION THE CAR WILL NOT START. I NOTICE THE DASH LIGHTS DON'T COME ON EITHER WHEN IN THE "ON" POSITION, BUT IF I WIGGLE THE KEY MANUALLY BACK AND FORTH FROM THE "ON" POSITION THE DASH LIGHT WILL COME ON. I'M GOING TO THE HONDA DEALER TOMORROW TO GET THEM TO PAY FOR MY TOW AND THE SWITCH. WHILE ON LINE RESEARCHING PROBLEM I CAME ACROSS THIS "HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN" HTTP://WWW.VISUALIMPRESSIONS.CA/SWITCH/... THIS IS A VERY VERY SCARY THING HAVE YOUR CAR DIE ON YOU FOR NO REASON... HONDA SHOULD HAVE NOTIFIED EVERY HONDA DRIVER ABOUT THIS ISSUE !! JOHN *TR

FLOOR MAT DOESN'T STAY IN PLACE AND GETS CAUGHT UP IN THE ACCELERATOR, BRAKE AND CLUTCH PEDALS. ALSO, MY CIVIC IS BLUE (ORIGINAL PAINT) AND AS I'VE SEEN WITH MANY OTHER 1992-1995 HONDA CIVICS WITH THIS COLOR, THE PAINT IS LITERALLY GONE FROM THE HOOD AND ROOF. I DON'T KNOW WHAT KIND OF CHEAP MATERIAL WAS USED, BUT IT'S TERRIBLE! *TR
