Gas idle didn't return back and I got into a car accident.
I have 2 recalls and I need the notification for them gone ASAP so I can ship my car overseas. The issues stated about the "air bag" and "floor mats" have yet to cause a concern to my driving and or handling ability. I don't have the time to go through these recalls as I am military and need my vehicle shipped but the recalls are whats kicking me back.
The contact owns a 1996 Honda Civic. While driving over a bump at an unknown speed, the air bags deployed erroneously and shattered the front passenger side window. The passenger sustained injuries to the face. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 147,000.
The srs light will not go off. I'm afraid this may be a safety hazard.
I own Honda Civic ex 1996 VIN #1hgej8249tl053690. The srs light turned on after replacing the battery. When I took it to dealer for diagnostics, they say the computer is faulty and it need to be replaced to fix this and till then, the airbags won't engage. My car was never exposed to any accidents or abnormal driving conditions. Honda has a faulty computer srs system and this causes serious safety issue where air bags won't activate.
I think srs should have warranty, was reset but light came back on.
Srs light flashing, changed the light, now the computer not working.
According to user manual, srs system should be free of trouble for at least 10 years, but this car is only five years old,the original product has defects. .
When airbag deployed the left sleeve of the garment worn by the driver on the inner arm at the wrist ignited. The driver smothered the flame on the passenger seat to extinguish it. No serious burns as a result, but a more flammable garment may have caused serious injury or death.
False deployment of air bag causing injury to left eye/burn to face. (qcaw).
Design of vehicle with air bags not conducive for smaller drivers.
The vehicle hit another vehicle from behind and the air bag didn't deploy.
The srs light stayed illuminated while driving. The dealership indicated it was caused by the srs unit's complete failure which would render the air bag inoperative if the vehicle was in an accident. Consumer stated the air bag component is a safety item and is the responsibility of the manufacturer.
My abs- airbag system light appeared on my dashboard around 55,000 miles. My Honda has not had any probems what so ever. I have not been in a wreck or slight fender bender. Yet somehow my airbag does not work anymore. I took my veh. To the dlrship and they advise me my airbag motor does not work anymore and I would need a new airbag motor. My mother has the same yr/make as my vehicle as she also has the same problem w/ her abs light being on. The reason I am reporting this is it seems odd since the only time the hood is ever opened is for an oil change or general work to be completed and now somehow my airbag motor does not work anymore. Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.
During low impact accident violent deployment of the airbag caused injury to consumer.
