Side/window Air Bag problems of the 2006 Honda Accord

My passenger side airbags spontaneously deployed during my morning commute. There was no collision, no pothole, no bump, and no sudden stop. There was nothing out of the ordinary. The sudden explosion caused me to swerve into oncoming traffic on a bridge, but thankfully, no one was injured.

Right side passenger side curtain air bags deployed automatically when front left tire failed. I have read of later model years having issues with unintended side curtain deployment. I have even read of complaints about erratic deployment in 2006 models in ntsa files. There was no collision, only a chuck hole which prompted the tire failure. I was driving on a highway near athens, ohio. Hit an unavoidable pothole, the tire blew out immediately, the right side air curtains deployed. VIN 1hgcm55896a026680.

The contact owns a 2006 Honda Accord. While driving 35 mph, an unknown tire blew out and caused the driver side air bag to deploy. The vehicle was towed, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 160,000.

I was driving with my wife around 1230am 12/27/15 last night from a friends house to our home about a 5 mile drive when the driver's side airbag went off for no reason. The road I was on was a local road. I was driving normal and safely because it was late and very dark at the time. It exploded twice. I was sitting in the driver position. My wife in the front passenger seat felt a blast on her chest. The passenger air bag never went off. I felt a blast as well and luckily nothing hit my face. Smoke filled the cabin. We opened the windows and got out fast. I pulled over to the side of the road but it was pitch black where we were. We waited about 15 minutes before deciding we should try to drive home. . . Since we were close to home, I drove home. I called my insurance company to put in a claim because I didn't know what else to do. I had previously went to my Honda dealership twice to get the airbags fixed. I went on may 7 2015 and October 13 2015. I wanted this noted in case. We were scared. I never expected this airbag to go off for no reason b/c I had gone in twice for recalls. No police report was filed b/c there was no accident. My insurance company progressive is supposed to call me on Monday for the next step.

In the last recall, I went to the dealership in greer SC as instructed. When I called about the recall, I told the representative that my driver's side airbag was already expelled and asked if it would be replaced. She assured me that it would. They laughed in my face at the dealership, and did not replace the airbag.

The contact owns a 2006 Honda Accord. While driving at a low speed, the contact heard an abnormal noise coming from the steering. The contact crashed into the rear of the preceding vehicle. The driver side air bag deployed and smoke emitted from the air bag. The contact sustained neck bruises and chest injuries that required medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The VIN was included in NHTSA campaign numbers: 15v320000 (air bags) and 15v370000 (air bags). The failure mileage was 87,000.

My driver side air bag is already deployed. When I called my Honda dealership to schedule the passenger side, I asked if the driver side would also be done. The rep said that it would. When I got to the dealership, they tried to charge me $250. 00 to have it done. I cannot afford this. The date of 05/01/2015 is a guess.

Airbag warning lamp on dashboard began to light up sporadically. Later in the month the car was taken for routine matinence at a certified Honda dealer, it was explained that there is a problem with the driver side airbag and the light indicated a problem which prevents the mechanics from knowing if the airbag will deploy in the event of an accident. This defect is only covered for Honda Accord v6 models 2001-2005 and has a quoted repair of $700-900.

Was driving my 2006 Honda Accord ex sedan on the highway and the driver-side curtain and seat airbags deployed without incident. There was no accident or impact of any kind. The airbags just deployed. Likewise, the driver's seat belt tightened and will not pull or retract. Luckily I was able to keep the car under control and not wreck, despite being caught off guard. Nothing was done to correct this failure. Honda indicated that there are no recalls and they are unaware of any related issues. Honda suggested I call my insurance who told me that it was a mechanical failure and therefore not covered.

Driving my 2006 Honda Accord at 55 mph passenger side curtain airbag deployed for no reason Honda dealer can find no reason for deployment. Terrifying experience.

I was in a high speed motor vehicle crash along with a coworker that I car pool with in the 2006 Accord when a dog ran out in front of the car at 4:30 am on the highway on my way to work. I was traveling at approximately 70-75 mph, braked and swerved, but still hit the dog at high speed. The dog was of medium to large size approximately 60-70 lbs and caused considerable damage to the front bumper. I then lost control of the car, went of the road , and the vehicle rolled at least 3 times. The vehicle sustained a great amount of damage to the front bumper as well as to the entire passenger side of the car, yet no airbags deployed. I was told by my Honda dealership that "the sensors for the airbags were very small and must be hit directly in order for the airbags to deploy, so the sensors must not have been hit just right , and there was probably no reason to be concerned. However, anyone who saw the damage to my car, including state troopers, ems, tow truck drivers, as well as family and friends, all stated that the airbags should have deployed in this instance. I did not find that these airbags to be very beneficial if what the person at the Honda dealership said was true. Both my passenger and I suffered whiplash, back and neck strain, and mild concussions, thankfully that was all. However I could not help but wonder if the airbags would have saved us from the injuries we did sustain. The car was totaled by insurance company . Therefore, no repairs have been done. I am debating whether to file a complaint with Honda regarding a possible defect in airbag sensors.
