My car needs airbag inflators.
Tl- the contact owns a 2003 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle the air bag sensor light would remain illuminated. The contact indicated that the failure had occurred after service was performed to replace the air bag inflator. The cause of the failure was not determined. The local dealer Honda of stevens creek(4590 stevens creek blvd, san jose CA. ) was notified of the failure. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 129,000. Jft.
The passenger side airbag inflator has been recalled. I can replace it free. But the replacement will be an act of futility because the srs light is on, the sensor is probably broken, and if there is an accident the air bag won't go off. (I have not scheduled the pointless act. ) I spoke to someone in complaints. If the srs light is due to a sensor problem, replacement will cost another $1900. Dealers are privately owned and they charge what they charge. Never mind the fact that Honda makes the sensor and prices them high. That, in turn, forces dealers to charge a lot.
Tamara inflators.
Takata inflators, while driving or sitting still, engine light comes on & stays on, brakes faulty while driving loud noise, and I have to press down hard on the brakes for it to slow down, driving/stabilized low visibility due to lights, it's very hard to tell if the lights are on our not inside & outside the vehicle, while driving noticed the brakes are unstable. Air bag sensor is always on, open door indicators don't work, drove car and door wasn't fully closed although I knew I closed the door fully, driving on the highway, and driver side door opened unexpectedly. Trunk door opens unexpectedly, trouble keeping it closed, gas door doesn't open/close properly. Loud noise in motion, trouble picking up speed.
Takata recall: there have been numerous times where I have either called or went to a Honda dealership to have the airbag inflators on both the driver and passenger side, fixed to avoid harm to myself or others. In almost three years, I have not once heard back about the dealership receiving parts to fix the issue. I have never received notice, nor was I told about the recall with the wiring harness terminal for the low beam headlights. Honda needs to fix this issue because it is a huge safety hazard that can get people killed or seriously injured.
