13 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 01/11/2020

We brought this in to both vern eide Honda, sioux falls, sd and brookdale Honda, brooklyn park, mn. It has been taken care of this is not the original airbag and there are no recalls on the current airbag. Somehow this investigation by both dealerships has not been recorded in the system. Our understanding from brookdale Honda is that photos of the installed airbag were sent to Honda corporate and nothing needed to be done further. We continue to receive notifications going so far as to receive them from the dvs. Please assist. The number and frequency of notification is becoming annoying since the care has been in twice to Honda for rectification of the airbag.

33 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 04/21/2016

"takata recall" we have 2 Hondas that had the airbags replaced as part of the recall. Shortly after the airbag was replaced the srs light came on the dashboard of both vehicles. Rt. 23 Honda, pompton plains, NJ did the replacement. They want $300 for each vehicle to fix the problem that they say is not related to the airbag replacement. It seems unlikely that both of our cars would have the same problem after the airbag replacement. I have filed second report since 2 VIN numbers are involved. I also filed a report with Honda. We last spoke to rt. 23 Honda about this on 4/21/2016.

34 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 04/06/2016

I was involved in a car accident. I was driving a Honda Accord 2005 and was rear ended by a BMW x5. There seemed to be minor damage to my rear bumper with no collision from the front. The next day, I started my car turn on the ac and let the car cool down. I stepped out of the car and in a few minutes the driver airbag deployed. I took the car to Honda motor so they could find out what is wrong witht the car, but Honda wants 115 dollars to make a dianostic which I think is ridiculous. Please advice, I'm driving a car without airbags that Honda refuses to even look at unless I pay 115 dollars.

35 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 03/02/2016

Takata recall- I cannot get any answers from Honda at 1-888-234-2138 regarding why my Honda takata has not been recalled. They put me on hold and never pick up again. It's a total run around. I do not feel safe driving this car anymore or letting anyone drive it knowing metal projectiles may blind me or pierce my neck. Why is there not a total recall of takata airbags in Honda's?.
