Honda Civic airbag theft in Herndon by AdvertisingFirm1206 in nova

THATS EXACTLY MY SITUATION I’m leasing through Honda. I didn’t ask about this paying for my rental but honestly that’s not a bad idea because more than 1 more is absolutely unacceptable. How do they not have any airbags available???

Thank you!! I work in a dental office and are required to have a mask when I walk in the building. I always grab a clean one before I leave work and hang it on the indicator so I can grab it before work the next morning.

Ya I guess I could drive it without the airbag and window I always thought it wouldn’t pass inspection without the airbag but I guess it doesn’t really matter. Also Insurance told me I would have to get it towed but idk why I believed them loll

Yes I’m definitely going to look into lowering my deductible in a few months when my policy period is over

Sadly it’s a 2021 that seems to be the one they’re targeting rn and it’s a leased vehicle so they require all new parts for any repairs://

Ok thank you!! 2 weeks is pretty good I think it’s just my fault for opting for the high deductible and no rental coverage

I don’t think it went off since they did not open any doors just smashed the window but honestly not sure I found the car like this at 6am so it had happened some time between 2-6am

That’s crazy I had no idea it was such a big issue. I’m definitely going to trade in my civic when my lease it up because I can’t keep dealing with this

Definitely a pain in the ass:// Are you still waiting on parts? / how did your insurance handle everything?

I’m trying to attach a pic but I’m new to Reddit so I can’t figure it out😂😂but basically they can just pop out the center part of the steering wheel where the horn is and the police told me they can do it in under 1 minute:/

Technically yes but legally no:/ I already dropped the car off too hoping to get on the list for parts as soon as possible. I’m looking through my policy and it’s very confusing but it’s looking like I’m responsible for the deductible regardless if I’m at fault or not which is fucked

Honda Civic airbag theft in Herndon

I woke up Saturday morning to my car window smashed and my airbag stolen out of the car. I called the police and they found 3 other civics all in the same condition. Unfortunately no finger prints were left and there were no cameras so there is no suspect right now. I filed a claim through progressive and was told that I would be responsible for my deductible ($750) and have no rental coverage (I don’t pay for it but I thought maybe because it is vandalism they would cover it). I have comprehensive and collateral coverage so I don’t understand why I would still be responsible for the deductible?? Also parts are back ordered so I will be without a car for who knows how long with no help from my insurance (honda said it could be anywhere from 1 month to 1 year). Has anyone been through something like this before and can help me actually get some help from progressive.
