Air Bags
Nothing has happened yet, but i am worried something will. The problems with the airbags on my car are beyond ridiculous at this point and something needs to be done. I am worried about my safety when driving my only car. The vehicle has already been recalled twice now and it seems that the airbag problems have still not been resolved. Honda is unable to fix the current issue until they have the parts, which could…

The passenger side airbag inflator has been recalled. I can replace it free. But the replacement will be an act of futility because the srs light is on, the sensor is probably broken, and if there is an accident the air bag won't go off. (i have not scheduled the pointless act.) i spoke to someone in complaints. If the srs light is due to a sensor problem, replacement will cost another $1900. Dealers are privately…

Takata recall - this is crazy...i first had to have the driver's side airbag recall done on my vehicle. Now years later i need to bring the car back in for the passenger side recall. Next it will be some other part. If something happens to my car with these airbags, i am not only going after honda and takata, but the regulators. You all need to be making sure people are safe. Too many people are impacted by this.…

Takata recall: there have been numerous times where i have either called or went to a honda dealership to have the airbag inflators on both the driver and passenger side, fixed to avoid harm to myself or others. In almost three years, i have not once heard back about the dealership receiving parts to fix the issue. I have never received notice, nor was i told about the recall with the wiring harness terminal for the…

Takata recall? I was in an accident with a major impact to my car and none of the airbags inflated. I was stopped on a freeway off-ramp and another vehicle rear-ended me with full speed pushing me to collide with another vehicle in front of me.

So, i received the honda safety recall notice for the airbags and brought my 2003 civic to be serviced. After it was compete, i noticed that the airbag light was still illuminated on my dash. I went back to speak with the dealership and the woman said that light is not part of the recall! How absurd is that?! There's a diagnostic charge for figuring out what the problem is. Why isn't this part of the recall,…

Srs light comes on constantly. Code reads seat belt buckle, changed multiple times under seat belt warranty. Now tech line advises replacing wire harness into seat belt...dealer wants over $900. Honda will cover under warranty anything seat belt related but they do not care about air bags...and won't cover it. Please cover this under warranty honda...it's not even guaranteed this will clear the code. Theory is air…

Called the dealership for an appointment and was given one over 60 days beyond the days date. The recall is for airbags and is a clear safety risk to drivers. They will sell vehicles but will not repair their mistakes in a reasonable amount of time.
