Roll over and head on collision of vehicle but no airbag deployment. Numerous comments on internet about airbags lack of deployment on this vehicle. I contacted Honda and they are non responsive to inspect the airbags and to determine if they are faulty. I have the vehicle in my possession and would like it properly inspected to determine if the airbags should have deployed. Air bags
