To whom it may concern- I got a letter in the mail for a recall for my 2007 Honda Accord regarding my driver's side air bag. I tried to make an appointment and they said they can fit me in until November 15th. This is Honda's fault, so why can't they fit me in sooner. What happens if I get a car accident and my air bag doesn't work Accordingly? is there something that you can do for me? my Honda dealership is in lake worth, florida. Sincerely, brian willis.

7 Side/window Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 07/07/2012

On July 7th, 2012, I was driving south on route 113 near milford, DE with my wife and going the speed limit when the side airbags in our Accord suddenly deployed for no discernible reason. We did not hit anything, the conditions were clear as was the road. There were no other vehicles in close proximity to us. It was a frightening experience that very well could have resulted in an accident, and my wife sustained abrasions to her arm. We contacted Honda about the issue and they had us bring our vehicle to a local body shop for an inspection (we lived in hoboken, NJ at the time), after which they informed us that a sensor underneath the vehicle showed signs of distress/being struck, which triggered the deployment of the airbags. We were skeptical that something we could not/did not feel would have caused this, but after much back and forth with Honda, it was clear that the only option we had to get our vehicle functioning again was to file an insurance claim, which we did, resulting in out-of-pocket costs to us in the form of our deductible and other related expenses. Given the number of instances of faulty airbag deployments, with Honda being one of the usual suspects, we wanted to file a complaint to formally log yet another instance.

8 Side/window Air Bag problem

The contact owned a 2007 Honda Accord. While driving approximately 50 mph, the contact's vehicle crashed into the rear end of another vehicle. The driver side air bags deployed. As a result, the contact sustained severe injuries to the chest and left shoulder that required medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was destroyed and towed to a salvage facility. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 50,000.

9 Side/window Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 11/23/2011

I was in the driver seat of my 2007 Honda Accord with a passenger in the right side front seat. I was travelling in the left lane on a highway (476 southbound in pennsylvania, approximate mile marker 21) at 5:30 am with no cars to my immediate front, side or rear. With no provocation, all of the right side airbags went off, causing damage to the right ear of my passenger as well as myself. There was no impact whatsoever, as well as no potholes or road damage at all. The insurance adjuster as well as the collision center (vinart collision, associated with lehigh valley Honda) both found no impact and no external reason why the airbags would deploy. If there had been another vehicle on the road near me, this could have very easily caused an accident and possibly more severe injuries. I have reported it to american Honda corporation and they sent a representative to look at the vehicle. I have yet to receive any information from them as to why this has occured.

I was driving my 2007 Honda Accord and a piece of debris was in the road.

13 Side/window Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 01/19/2009

I was driving down 95n interstate highway in my 2007 Honda Accord when all of a sudden my side airbag curtain deployed on the passenger side. At the time I thought that I was in the middle of a car crash or something flew off of a truck that smashed into my side windows but when I turned to see, all I saw was my side airbag curtain hanging down. The sound alone scared me half to death it was the loudest popping sound I have ever heard! I somehow made my way to the breakdown lane to calm my nervous an try to figure out what happened. When I had the chance to get out an look @ my car I noticed there was no sign of impact (no dents, etc. ) I called the dealership that I purchased my car from and explained what happened an they said they have never heard of such a thing happening an if I had replaced anything on my car. . It's a bran new car 1 1/2 yrs old, other than oil changes nothing has been replaced. Thank god no one was in my passenger side seat which doesn't explain why the airbags were on in the 1st place. And thank god I didn't crash due to the horrifying sound and being scared to death! my ears were ringing for a good hour after it deployed. Honda stated that I must have ran something over. They put my car on a lift an said there was a hole on the floor of my car which would have triggered the sensor which then set the airbag off. I know I didn't run anything over. . . I was just driving down the interstate. They then said that the slightest impact would set the sensor's off. So now my car is in a shop after having no car for 2wks. And I'm paying over a $1000 to get it repaired. Honda has not been helpful in this whole ordeal. Pretty much what I got out of what they said is that anytime that I run over any debris in the road that I now have to worry about my sensor's setting my airbags off. If their sensor's are so sensitive then this can be an ongoing issue and if it happens to someone else the outcome could be alot worse. . . .

14 Side/window Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 04/23/2008

We were driving on highway 75 in richardson, TX on 4/23/08 about 9pm on a stormy night with a lot of lightning and rain and the passenger side air bag and passenger side curtain airbags came out with a very loud gun shot like sound but did not fully inflate. My wife and I were trying to figure out what happened to cause them to do that so we slowed down and pulled over to the side of the highway. We thought we had been shot at or something was thrown at the car because we were not hit by another auto. I got out and looked the car over and found no reason for the airbags and curtain to do that. My wife was thoroughly shaken and is still "gun shy" so to speak today riding in any vehicle. We started to get back on the highway and a few car lengths down the road realized that we also had a flat on the front right tire. Honda says we ran over something that caused the airbags to deploy and that it was an insurance issue since we coincidentally had a flat after the airbags partially deployed. We obviously did run over something to cut the tire but no reason to make the airbags partially deploy and we certainly never expected side impact air curtains and airbags to deploy even if we ran over something. The Honda serviceman said whatever we hit raised the back floorboard 2 inches - we think in that car that low to the ground that we would have heard it hit and/or felt it hit if it did that much damage. We have had the car since last September and have not had one complaint and the outside of the car is just like brand new - not even a scratch on it. We have pictures of the car with the defected airbags and curtain shown with an "undamaged" body. The air curtain you can tell never inflated - looks like new with all the wrinkles and folds. It never hit my wife at all. We surely thought Honda would have stood behind their products better than this.
