Takata recall- I purchased a used 2002 Honda Accord today, 7/31/2019. When I entered the vehicle and started the car, I noticed the srs light on the dash was illuminated. When the car is stationary or in motion the passenger side airbag looks to be partially inflated under the dash. The airbag is not deployed but it does seem like over time it has inflated under the dash. Currently there are 6 recalls related to airbag modules in the year, make, and model of my vehicle, yet for some reason this website says my VIN# is not included. Please address this airbag issue on my vehicle, if I were to ever wreck, I wouldn't want anyone to get hurt because of a faulty recalled airbag module that was just skipped over.

I was traveling on a three lane road on the morning of 7-18-15. A vehicle in front of me in the middle lane suddenly slowed down. To avoid hitting that vehicle I swerved to the right lane and into the bike lane. I went up the curb with the passenger side of the vehicle and continued on, while braking, and hit a light pole just behind the curb. I had 'help' going up the curb as a farmer (who farms the parcel adjacent to the accident site) had built an illegal 40 ft 'ramp' up the concrete curb with asphalt to allow access for his farm equipment. The driver's side of the vehicle stayed on the road traveling along the curb (in the gutter). The driver's airbag did not deploy. Estimated speed was 50mph per the county sheriff. The vehicle has been inspected by our insurance company and is a total loss. Had to go to the hospital for CT scan of the head as I hit the windshield. Suffered from temporary amnesia and slurred speech. We went to the town officials and reported the 'ramp' and it was removed almost immediately. We need Honda to inspect the vehicle (which was towed to our home) but after a week of leaving voice mails for the case manager we are still waiting a return call. The insurance company want to take the vehicle but we want it inspected to understand why the airbag did not deploy. Note: we received an airbag safety recall notice on 7-27-15 (after the accident) but I think this notice is for a different issue with the airbags (not a deployment issue).

I was making a right turn to merge into the middle lane on a highway service road where every car was waiting for the green light. I turned very slowly at low speed after stopping at the stop sign, and all of a sudden the steering wheel started to turn by itself, then my car turned 180 degrees, while the accelerator speeded up at a rapid pace, seeming to be stuck. My car jumped the curb, hit a sign, and finally stopped. The bumper cover came down, and I can see the bumper was damaged (pushed back in the middle about 2 inches), but both of my 2002 Honda Accord's air bags did not deploy at all.

Srs and air bag sensor lights appeared intermittently at first, now stays on constantly, this seems to be an issue with Honda for many years and ignored, my car has more miles and age and the Honda customer service assistance decline to cover with a warranty or safety recall. The Honda dealer wants megabucks to diagnose and replace sensors. I have been told that the air bags may not now deploy correctly or at all and this is a serious safety concern and liability for my wife and/or children/passengers from this defect in the event of an collision. I would like Honda to fix and make their product safe for their customers. Thank you.

My 2002 Honda Accord had a failed srs unit which Honda repaired but issued me a bill stating it was not covered under the extended warranty. Stating a fail code of 15-3 (opds sensor) that is clearly covered under the 06-009 Honda service bulletin. It cost me $85 for them to clear the code, stating that the cause was electrical interference like a cell phone or laptop. It is an important safety issue because if at anytime I should use an electrical device in my car there is a chance my air bags will not deploy. Honda should issue a recall not an extended warranty and fix the issue not cover it up.
