38 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 05/19/2015

My takata air bag has been replaced twice by Honda recalls. Unfortunately, the replacement airbag is another takata airbag. Does that make sense? my question why is Honda replacing defective takata airbags with takata airbags? since takata is continuing to manufacture defective airbags. I have no confidence in the airbag in my Honda. Shouldn't Honda use another airbag manufactured by another company to replace the takata airbag.

Can not get Honda to replace my air bag which I got a federal recall notice for. Made an apt with hoehen Honda in carlsbad CA . 4 weeks ago.

They promised me a free rental until the car was repaired. Gave me a complaint number. . Called again to speak to rep. Phone calls not returned. Honda acknowledges that these air bags could cause death if deployed. They are derrelect in not performing service in a timely manner and should be held accountable.

Took myhonda in to a dealership last week and had a few repairs, main reason was to have the air bag recalled done. Which they did.

Went to dealership today service rep said that's your airbag and if you have a wreck they will not work. 89. 95 a we can hook it up and see whats wrong. I said no,as of now im riding around with no protection. Should they have fixed this when the did the recall??.

42 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 03/03/2015

Hi on 3/3/2015 I took my Honda in to breakaway Honda to do a recall on the airbags also had a few other things repaired. Mostly concerned about the airbags. Had to return 5 days later for a part . I asked the service dept representive why my srs light was still on, he said something was still wrong with my airbags and if I had a wreck I still would not have airbag. But I could pay 89. 95 to have it hooked up to a machine and if it was the seat belt I would not have to pay but if it was something else I would. Didn't make sense to me, should I pay again to have airbags repaired or is that something Honda should take care of. Something else is they never gave me a call on the service they had done.

44 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 11/20/2014

I was informed over a year ago my current auto received an air bag "fix" to the air bag activator during a normal service call and has no longer any air bag recalls. My car year and model is listed into the current takata air bag replacement recalls, but Honda refuses to tell me if my car has this air bag. The activator fix is not what the takata air bag issue is about! it's the metal fragments hitting the driver. I have no confidence in what Honda has told me and prefer to have my auto air bag be replaced, even though I am not in a high humidity zone, stated in the current takata recall. Philadelphia hits high humidity (>90%) every summer, so how/why will my car it know if it is in florida or philly? please move forward to have all of the models, years, in the takata mess replaced, period! regards, dom.

45 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 11/20/2014

I did not have an accident. I am reporting Honda because they lied to me and said my car was not on the recall list. About 2 months after the airbag recall became public I called them to ask if my car was on the recall. I was instantly told it was not. I just today went to this site online and looked it up and find it is. I bglieve Honda was involved in a deliberate cover-up.

46 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 11/18/2014

While visiting a dealer to catch up on recalls, its computer and website both show the 2001-2002 Accord driver airbag recall from 2011 as fixed; since the last time I was at a (original, different) dealer was 5/10 this is impossible. I am concerned that after a certain period customers who did not attend to the recall are automatically marked as fixed. Fwiw I had an accident in 2007 and the passenger airbag deployed but the driver's didn't.

47 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 10/20/2014

The air bags on my 2002 Honda Accord were recalled 6 months ago because they apparently could explode and kill passengers with shrapnel if they go off in an accident. I have been waiting months for Honda to replace with air bags with no resolution in sight. Culver city Honda in los angeles, CA keeps telling me they aren't able to get the new parts shipped in because of the port strike in los angeles. There are other ways to mail things, and I can't believe they aren't trying harder to get the part for their customers when they've already had 6 months. 5 people have already died from this defect and they have no urgency to fix this at all. I don't want my wife driving the car with such a dangerous faulty part, but it's the only car we own. Who makes sure these companies actually follows through on the recall replacement? we need some help please.

Srs light is on, which is for airbag.

So I called dealer on 10/8/14 and I was told part will be ordered and available in a week. I called after a week and I was told that it is back ordered so it cannot be order part until two weeks later. Dealer promise again to order it after two weeks, and I will call them after Nov 6 if I don't hear from them.

50 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 07/31/2014

I slowed down at a traffic light and my car was rear ended by another car who failed to apply the brakes and/or may have hit the gas pedal instead of the brakes. The car has been deemed a total loss as the car chassis seems to be crumpled. What I find very surprising is that neither the seat belts tighten nor the air bags were deployed despite being hit so hard. I was wondering what may have been the reason and what needs to be done so that it doesn't happen with anyone else.

51 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 06/16/2014

Car was headed west in the left lane of a four lane highway. A big SUV headed in the opposite direction was turning to the left. He didn't have time to go and stopped right in my lane. My car hit hers on the passenger side. When we crashed, both of my air bags exploded. I thought my car was on fire because smoke was coming from the bags. My right arm and hand swelled up so big and is still painful. I think there must be medal embedded in my arm. Blood was gushing from my arm and right knee. The inch gash in my right knee was on top of my total knee replacement. This had to be stitched up. I had contusions on my chest, arm and left knee. My ribs and sternum were bruised badly. My right ankle was fractured. My car was totaled. I was taken by ambulance to emergency and stayed until June 26, 2014. I was ordered to put no weight on my right leg and was transported by ambulance to a medical rehabilitation center. Before my release from there, I developed pneumonia and could not leave until July 14, 2014. I still have to have surgery on my left knee for torn meniscus. That surgery is scheduled for September 9, 2014. My back was fractured also; however, I have not scheduled that surgery as of yet.

He said to alert my company Honda and file a complaint. I was also told that this is a very important recall because it can cause death. What to do? how to solve this?.

Takata recall, in 2010 we were in an accident, I was on the passenger side. We were hit head on. The dash came off and what looked like a small rocket came out and hit me in the chest breaking my sternum bone in half, then the air bag opened.

Police were called and I was transported to the hospital. The vehicle was moving on a highway. We are from ohio and were visiting my son, using his car on Dec. 24th, 2010.

The notice said that I have to contact my local dealer and they will fix for free. I contacted the local dealer (team Honda, baton rouge) the same day the letter was received. They said they will order the part and once they get it they will let me know and try to fix it. I have not heard anything back from them till now. It looks like Honda nor the dealership is serious about it and is not ready to fix it inspite of the recall.

(2 lanes each way with a center. ) I was driving and the airbag exploded as the durango cut off another car and hit head onto me. The airbag explosion produced a burning smell which I thought the car was on fire but it was the airbag explosion. My face was very red and swollen and just felt on fire from the explosion which covered my face. I had a scratch in my left eye and needed a rinse and a small laceration above my eye. My right hand was swollen immediately and was throbbing from the grip of the wheel and the airbag explosion. My right pinky was totally numb for quite a while with radiating pain up the right arm. The right had still has issues with grasping things and dropping them. I had and still have headaches from the jolt and neck injury especially in the frontal area. I noticed my speech became slurred and thoughts took longer to process when speaking to people. On the job this created difficulty.
