AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)08/29 Report--

A netizen exposed on the Internet that an old Honda car in Jiangyin, Jiangsu Province, suddenly burst its airbag while driving, causing the driver to be injured.

According to netizens, the accident occurred in Jiangyin, Jiangsu Province. a woman in her twenties drove an old Honda (suspected 7.5 Accord) and suddenly had a spontaneous accident without impact, even popping up the airbag. I heard that the person was dead.

From the photos and videos provided by netizens, the rear appearance of the vehicle is complete, the airbag in the car accidentally burst, and there are signs of burning and smoke in the cockpit. At present, the details of the accident have not been disclosed in detail and need to be verified by the relevant departments.

According to media reports, the driver is in critical condition and has been taken to hospital. The police have arrived at the scene to investigate the cause of the accident.

It is worth noting that in the absence of obvious collision marks, the airbags in the lead and co-driver position have popped up, which is strange at 01:10. The GAC Honda Accord car belongs to the old model, which has been on the road for some years, and the performance of various parts is certainly not as good as that of the new car. If the vehicle has had an accident and the relevant parts have been replaced, it is also prone to failure or accidents.

As the accident involved the explosion of airbags, many netizens pointed out that Honda had assembled Takata defective airbags on a large scale. In July 2016, GAC Honda announced a recall of more than 1.8 million vehicles, including the 2003-2011 Accord sedan. When the airbag was launched, the gas generator may be abnormally damaged, causing debris to fly out, injuring people inside the car, and causing safety risks. Honda's solution is to replace the airbag gas generator.

If the owner of the relevant model does not go to the 4S store in time to replace the defective airbag, once the airbag unfolds, it may hurt the people in the car. In the North American market, a number of deaths of Takata airbags have been reported.

The cause of the accident requires further investigation by the police before reaching a conclusion. However, I hope that all car owners will always pay attention to the please status of their cars and check their vehicles regularly to at least ensure that the vehicles are in healthy condition, which can also effectively reduce the occurrence of stories caused by abnormal vehicles. Generally speaking, there will be a signal of the airbag indicator light on the dashboard in the car, and if the indicator light is always on, it means that the airbag is malfunctioning. For this accident, waiting for the police to release the relevant accident notification.
