general problems of the 2003 Honda Civic - part 2

08/31/2015 I purchased this car from ganley westside imports, 25580 lorain Ave. , north olmsted, OH 44070, 440-734-2000 in November 2014 with this recall outstanding. I was told they would order the part. I called the service department in January 2015 and was told my name wasn't even in the system but he would order the part. I called again on may 18, 2015, and was told the part was still back ordered.

Came in today to tampa Honda for a scheduled appointment for the air bag recall and service advisor diego rodriguez advised me that the parts are not available even though the dealership sent me two emails confirming that the service would be performed today.

My vehicle is included in airbag recall 14v-349 dated July 21, 2014. I have not received a recall notice, the dealer cannot order parts because Honda hasn't released a replacement part number, the dealer will not disconnect my airbags (Toyota recommends this short-term procedure until parts are available), and american Honda (1-800-999-1009, jeff @ x117731) will not return my calls. I am moving to florida Nov 12, and do not have a car to drive. Is Honda required to complete recalls within a designated period, or can they extend repairing vehicles indefinitely until they eventually rust away?.

I don't know if this is right form but I have a complaint with Honda. I have a recall on my car and they do not have the parts manufactured to remedy the recall. They will not provide any other solution. I called the Honda recall department and my case manager never got back to me; they had told me it was going to be 24-48 hours until they got back to me and she never has gotten back to me. I want a loaner vehicle until my car can be fixed. They did not authorize this. I told linda on the phone that I was going to start recording the conversation to make sure I had everything correct and she said "you do not have my permission to record this call" and hung up. If the remedy is not available for my car, I want a car in the interim until my vehicle can be fixed and safe to drive.

This defective part is in my vehicle. I checked with american Honda. This defect has caused deaths and serious injuries to drivers when air bag is deployed. Honda cannot replace it at this time and it can cause me serious injury and accidents. Please have Honda change this immediately or remove air bag and replace with a new one immediately.

We saw a news report about the air bag recalls for these vehicles in late summer last year. We called the dealership when our srs light came on to see if our vehicle was part of the takata-brand airbag recall. When we called, the dealership stated that our vehicle was not included in the recall. We reset the srs computer. We never received any paperwork stating there ever was such a recall. While out running errands on 01/31/2015 we heard a news report about a prior recall for the takata airbags did not work properly. Our srs light is back on after a couple of computer resets without a code ever pulling up on the vehicle. When we got home we decided to do a recall check by VIN on Honda's website. The vehicle has incomplete recall from 06/19/2014. The call number is 14v-351. This is a serious issue when it comes to safety: 1. For not being notified of a potentially dangerous recall, 2. For being lied to about the recall when calling the local dealership. We are going to try going to the dealership with a copy of the online search using their system on Monday 02/02/2015. Hopefully we can get some answers, but our prior experience with this is unacceptable.

The diagnosis was that the air bag inflater module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 72,000. Cs.

Hello, the vehicle passing through culvert and hit the crossbar with the road, and the airbag automatically opened, the blow was slightly below and nothing drastic, the car has never been nor ever collided head back. I think the airbags are faulty, what should I do.

The supplemental restraint system (srs) light came on, read the code and was a 7-2 code meaning that the air bag or srs module had an internal failure. This can be caused by a voltage deficiency problem so I had my charging system checked and everything was in specification range. Contacted Honda as I have read that they extended the warranty on these modules to a 10 year/ 150,000 mile warranty because of so many failures. They of course said that was only on select models. I am now looking into having the module repaired or replaced as the airbags will fail to work in a collision due to this issue. This is a serious safety issue and there are numerous complaints that you can readily find online about these modules failing. Honda should have to be required to fix these irregardless of mileage or age.

When driving down the road, the vechiles stopped . I applied my brakes and nothing happpened. I then hit the vechile in front of me. And my air bags on my vechicle did not deploy.

I just pulled out of parking lot onto road knowing that within the next 200 ft I was approaching stop light I was doing about 15-20 mph. I saw the car stopped for light and stepped on my brakes my car never attempted to slow down or stop until it impacted with rear of vehicle stopped at light. 2nd accident: as crossing intresection a car pulled over into my lane I applied brakes and car did not attempt to slow down or brakes work my car did not stop until it impacted with rear of vehicle in front of me. 3rd accident: as pulling off from green light approaching traffic at next stop light cars started braking at which time I applied my brakes I was well within stopping distance if my brakes had worked. They went all the way to the floor and the car started sliding and it was as if the car picked up speed after hitting my brakes with both feet. My seat bealt did not work (I hit stearing wheel) nor did the air bag my car did not slow down or attempt to until impact with other vehicle rear bumper. Upon impact I hit the sterring wheel and my knee hit the dash. I have major damage to my vehicle the front bumper is tottally gone , the radiator blew up my car was smoking and the hood is bowed up. The car was not drivable . When the tow truck arrrived and actually saw the impact. He quickly stated " the breaks did not work in your car did they? " I was very surprised but he could actually tell my car did not stop or attempt to stop until impact with rear of other vehicle. And he stated he thought Honda had a recall on these for the brakes and air bags. This car has many recalls and complaints. I'm scared to get in the vehicle again! I need help and advise on what to do next. I do not want another person to go through what I have been through and could greatly lead to fatality. Very concerned about safety of 2003 Honda Civic! I need to know what to do with this vehicle!.

Srs error light repeatedly comes on, with code 7-2 "internal failure of srs unit", which apparently disables the airbag. Other people report this in forums, so adding it to your database in case there's a trend of failing control units.

I was going threw a intersection (alone) in my 2003 coupe Honda Civic and a red full sized Ford truck hit the front driver side of my car at about 30 mph. The truck flipped and slid and my airbags never went off causing, memory loss, stage 3 concussion and other health problems. Nothing was done to fix it they said my car was totaled per the insurance company. And I took many pictures of it and the damaged parts before the took it.

Takata recall the air bags came out prematurely while in motion.

I own a 2003 Honda Civic sedan. In 2007 I was in a front end collision with over $5,000 damage to my vehicle. Neither airbags deployed. I wasn't seriously injured but if the impact had been head on maybe I could have been.

I was in a head on collision on 03nov2007 in washington, DC. There were 4 vehicles involved in the accident, my vehicle a 2003 Honda Civic being the last automobile in the series. The crash rate of speed was from about a 55mph to 0mph. Neither my or my passengers airbag deployed resulting in ongoing injuries of the neck and spine. Mine requiring surgery and absenteeism from work. I would like to see some kind of investigation on why they did not deploy.

I ran into the back of a Honda Civic at about 20 mph. My air bags did not come out. I had a bit of chest pain after the crash. I think that Honda should check and fix this problem for free. If I was on a highway going 70 mph this accident could have been much worse.

While driving at 25 mph consumer's vehicle hydroplaned and impacted another vehicle head on. Passenger's side seat belt didn't retract, and passenger's air bag didn't deploy upon impact, only the driver's side did.
