Honda refuses to replace recalled airbags. I've been trying for a year and even when they "order" the part they don't have it when I arrive. This has happened repeatedly. I was in a car accident today and the airbags didn't deploy and they should have. After reading all the online complaints I feel lucky they didn't deploy and extract flying metal pieces. Its inexcusable to have a recall and then refuse to fix the problem. Honda's negligence could have cost me my life today.

I received a letter from Honda early this year reporting that the airbags in the 1998 Accord are not safe and must be replaced. After multiple calls to them to schedule the repair all they tell me is that the parts needed are not available. I depend on this car to get me to work each day and cannot stop using it. What other options do I have?.

I have a 1998 Honda Accord. The srs light has been on for some time, and I did not know about the issues of them with the 98-2002 Accords until just now. Many people have filed complaints about this issue because Honda refuses to correct the issue. It makes driving he vehicle dangerous because you no longer have your secondary backup system to help keep you safe in a accident. And from what I am understanding it also minimizes the effectiveness of the seat belt as well. If the NHTSA group is aware of this and has not forced Honda to do recall work on this matter than shame on you. We are putting our lives in your hands to make these companies keep their safety track record. My Accord has nearly 139k miles and has always been maintained well. I feel as if I have had a injustice done to me, and now I have to worry about when or if I get in a accident whether or not my air bag will work, and According to others with he same problem it doesn't.
Srs deployment failure. Car was parked for couple of weeks when returned the service light comes on and deployment failure is inevitable. Dealer what's $85 to reset light. Isn't this a safety issue with these cars shouldn't they reset this item at no cost. This is the second time it has happened.

The air bags deployed during the first impact but had deflated by the time the final impact occurred. These failures resulted in fatal head injuries.
While pulling inside of a parking lot, the vehicle surged forward. The consumer applied the brakes, the vehicle continued to speed, and crashed into a brick wall. Upon impact, both air bags deployed.
The consumer complained about a horn problem. The horn worked intermittently. The consumer was told my a mechanic that the air bag may be the cause of the horn problem. The consumer had to "hit" the steering wheel to get the horn to activate.

I was traveling approximately 35mph when a minivan turned in front of me. The front of my car slammed into the passenger side of the van. My insurance company and other drivers (accident was his fault) insurance company have determined that my car was totaled. My concern is that going at the rate of speed I was, and the damage to the front of my car (I have taken pictures)was great enough to have it totaled, the air bags should have deployed.
No deployment of air bag during a frontal collision causing damage to engine shaft and bumper.
