US safety agency probes Honda Accord air bag failures - NorthJersey.com
DETROIT - U. S. auto safety regulators are investigating reports that air bags on some older Honda Accords may not inflate in a crash. The agency says in documents posted Friday that it received 19 consumer complaints that the air bag control computer failed in the Accord, which then was Honda's top-selling model. A driver in Belleview, Florida, was injured when his car hit a concrete wall at 50 miles per hour and the air bags didn't inflate, according to a complaint filed with the agency. The agency says the malfunction causes the air bag warning light to illuminate on the dashboard and disables the air bags until repairs are made. Source: www.northjersey.com
