5 Front Driver Side Air Bag Inflator problem

Failure Date: 08/13/2015

Pursuant to recall notice issued by american Honda motor CO. , inc. (dated July 2015) regarding driver's front air bag inflator, the referenced vehicle was taken to an authorized Honda dealer where at the replacement driver's front air bag inflator was installed. Following replacement, the air bag system warning light remains on most of the time. Sometimes it goes off after starting but then comes on while driving. It's not only distracting, but frightening not knowing whether the inflator will detonate. It's also unnerving having to drive without an airbag system as a result of the recall. Can we have the old inflator put back in, at least there would be a functioning air bag system.

There is a recall of the passenger side airbag inflator but Honda has not sent letters to owners to inform us. Honda has told me that these letters will not be sent out until parts are available. Clearly, owners need to be informed as soon as possible to decide if they want to continue to drive their vehicles. And, secondly, parts are now available and we are still not being notified. Is it legal for them to withhold notification letters?.

Honda has expanded a previously announced recall of certain 2001 through 2003 model-year Honda and Acura vehicles to replace the driver's airbag inflator originally installed in approximately 273,000 additional vehicles sold in the u. S. Affected driver's airbag inflators may deploy with too much pressure, which can cause the inflator casing to rupture and could result in injury or fatality. My 2003 has the same faulty airbag light now coming on, but the VIN # is not currently part of the recall. How is this not covered by a dealer for repair?.

9 Front Driver Side Air Bag Inflator problem

Failure Date: 06/04/2011

I started the engine of my 2003 Honda Accord and the srs aribag light came on and remained on. This has never happened before. The car was involved in a rear-end collision over two years ago, and no airbags were deployed. I took the car to the shop to be looked at about the srs light, where two or three different diagnostic tests were run. I was told that the service techs received a message from one of the tests indicating that the driver's side airbag was overcompressed. I was informed that airbags were considered a luxury item on a vehicle, and were not covered under the lifetime warranty like seatbelts are. I was also informed that if the car was involved in any crash while that light was on, that the airbags would not deploy. I do not understand why the airbag system would fail suddenly without being the result of an impact. I was told that with parts and labor, I would be chagred almost one thousand dollars to have this part (the air bag inflator) replaced and installed. Air bags are common safety features on cars and should not be considered a luxury feature. I do not understand why this happened, and why I should have to pay to have it fixed.
