“Driving at about 55 MPH, my 2019 Honda Ridgeline's airbags didn't deploy when I hit a 2015 ford focus that failed to yield the right of way and cut infront of me. Honda sensing's collision mitigation braking system and forward collision warning failed to alert me and failed to stop my vehicle either.”
