3 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 09/28/2023

On sept. 28, 2023 I was driving this car and it was on a very rough highway and it went into a skid and flipped over and was totaled. It was towed to willow creek, CA for one week. I was badly injured and had no way to get to willow creek, CA so I had to pay $500 for it to be stored and they eventually got the title of the car from me and allegedly disposed of the 2002 Accord. I did not see it after the accident as I was bedridden and unable to travel to see the condition of my car. The passenger's side of the back seat was gone and you could see the ground, I do remember that much despite my severe injuries to my head and body. I was the driver and the driver's side airbags failed to deploy despite the numerous time I took it in to mid-city motor world in eureka, CA responding to numerous airbag recalls. I was told prior airbag recalls had not worked and that is why I had to keep going back to have them done over and over again. I am the original owner of this car and I got hurt badly in this accident. It has been over two months now and I have yet to fully recover. I often wonder if I ever will fully recover as I still have pain in my back, arms, legs and head. If the airbags had worked, I would not have ended up bedridden with a head injury and unable to move. I had no help at all after the accident. . Read more...

22 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 11/02/2017

I moved from arizona to florida. I had the airbag recall replacement. Three days ago I saw the srs (safety restraint system) light come on and stay on in my car. Because the recall is going into bankruptcy I am very concerned about the restraint system. Nothing has happened to the car. It just turned on. I contacted Honda and they say they are not going to address this because I had the recall work done. I can't image why they won't assist with the diagnosis and to determine the cause. I was under the impression that the seatbelt and airbags should last the life of the vehicle. I have never in any accidents and I have maintained the car, it is in great condition.

Failure Date: 03/24/2017

The "srs" light has turned on in the instrument panel. Honda is trying to charge me $360 to diagnose the problem when it is obviously air bag/seat belt related. The light remains on during motion and while the engine is at idle. My vehicle is at 117,464 miles. My question is if Honda has the right to charge me to diagnose something that is related to safety equipment.

Failure Date: 08/08/2016

Takata recall-my srs light is on for the last year or so. I called the local Honda dealership and they told me it would cost $300 up front to have this checked out. The local garage where I have my car inspected said this was part of the airbag recall but Honda won't check it without $300 up front and I just can't afford it. Maybe I will finally get it fixed under this class action lawsuit. I would like to have everything on my car working properly.

30 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 07/11/2016

Takata recall: this vehicle was bought in the USA and sent to greece for use there. We have been trying to correct the air bag issue for several years working with Honda America but there have been no results. The Honda dealership in greece is constantly lying about ordering the parts, no written documentation is ever given to state the parts are ordered, or not in, etc. We've had to get a rental this past summer because of the safety issue. Several letters have been sent to Honda America as well as phone calls and we are being ignored on all ends! what are our rights in this matter? how can we get them to respond and take some definitive action? can we sue? this car also has a recall on an ignition problem.
