The airbag srs warning light comes on intermittently when i am driving it and i cannot pinpoint when/why. This happened a year ago and the dealership said it was the cable reel in the steering wheel which was replaced. 10 months later (and less than 1000 miles driven) and the airbag srs warning light is continuing to come on intermittently (driving city streets and highway - sometimes it comes on after 15 minutes of…

Once a month roughly while i'm driving my airbag light comes on the dash and reads "check airbag" i know this is wrong because nothing is wrong. If i pull over and shut my car off wait 30 secs then turn it back on the error message will turn off.

The "check airbag system" warning light keeps turning on and off intermittently. I can find many online complaints about 2013 civic owners having dealers replace system components only to have the problem reappear in a couple of months. I had our civic serviced at a honda dealer in spokane wa a couple of months ago, and had requested they diagnose the problem. I'm in az and my daughter took the car in to the dealer…

Check air bag light comes on randomly. Sometimes when go over speed bump, sometimes just driving on smooth road, or making a turn. No real pattern discovered yet. Started sometime ago but came on maybe once every 3-4 months. Now however it is occurring much more frequently almost daily. It has been rather hot and humid since occurrences started being more frequent not sure if that is coincidence or part of reason…

Airbag warning light comes on and off at random times while driving. This seems to be a widespread complaint with 2013 honda civics and while there is no recall yet, there should be in my opinion.

The airbag check airbag system warning comes on periodically i had it repaired at a honda dealer and three weeks later it came back on but went away. I am concerned because it cost me a lot of money to repair this the honda dealer said it had nothing to do with airbags or recalls. But honestly this has everything in the world to do with the srs system and should be something covered by the manufacturer.

Takata recall possibility? My airbag sensor has been on for months. There has been no recall, yet i've read tons of the same complaint on the same vehicle. It says "check airbag system" immediately after starting the car. I don't know how there's not been a recall yet when the airbag thing is a serious issue and there are a lot of these complaints out there. Please advise.

I am unsure if this is part of the takata recall, however using my vehicle's horn for the first time today, while in motion, since purchasing less than 30 days ago, my "check airbag system" sensor light came on along with the display message. I parked and turned the car off for about 10 mins. Warning message was gone but as i proceeded to drive, the light and message returned. Unfortunately, i bought the car at a…

Also wasn't able to select the steering, the speed control brakes and the wheels/tires. The car has completely shut off while driving going 60 on the highway. Since i've got this car it's been a huge pain and has been in the shop nearly the entire time i've had it. I'm currently making monthly payments on it and have had the car since 2017 and have put over $9,000 worth of work into it.. It finally has stopped…

Air bag system check came on while driving 35mph and it turned off once car was parked and turned off. Has not come on since.

I asked if recall was on for my car, it is not. Apparently i am not the only one with this safety issue and i…

It continued to come on while driving, and eventually started coming on when i first started the car, stationary. It does not come on every…

Airbag system failure - a "check airbag system" warning alert appeared on the dashboard of my 2013 honda civic. I checked for recalls and finally took my car into my honda dealer. The service advisor informed me that a "driver side door airbag sensor failed" and told me it can be fixed for $310.00 plus labor!!!
