The air bag failed to deploy during the vehicular collision on Jan. 27, 2022 at the intersection in a city in virginia. The Honda Civic lx 2004 was hit by another vehicle on the driver side; the air bag on the passenger side deployed but not the air bag on the driver side. The driver suffered head injury (hematoma and cuts on scalp) & lumbar fracture and has to be treated in er and was hospitalized for a few days. The injured driver also cannot go back to work until completely healed and still undergoing treatment. The car was moved from the towing service company shop to the storage facility of usaa (as of this writing, the vehicle is still there). In the police report, in the box for "airbag deployed", the officer encircled yes but did not specify it was for the passenger side only. The insurance company declared the car not repairable based on their inspections.

Dealership showed no recall for this VIN , when I entered it in their website.

I have received many recall notices from Honda stating the air bag recall repair is free and a free rental car will provided for the day of the repair, however this is absolutely false! I have called the dealership in my area multiple times and am consistently told rental cars are not available and their ride shuttle is not available due to the pandemic. I called them before the pandemic and was told the same thing, that a rental car is not available for that service! they said I can sit in the waiting room for 4 hours (or more!) during the recall repair and that is it. I cannot miss work to resolve this, I have already done that in the past as this is not the first recall! I continue to receive notices in the mail telling me myself or my passengers could die if this problem isn't resolved, causing so much anxiety, and yet I cannot get the repair scheduled unless I take an entire day off work, lose an entire day of pay and sit in their waiting room for hours (during a pandemic)! ocean Honda would not provide rental cars before the pandemic for this recall so I can't understand why I continue to receive these letters stating a free rental car is available for the day of the repair or longer - it is simply not the case! I have called and called and am met with rude call center agents telling me this is just the way it is, which makes the text in your letters outright lies. If I need to bring my car in for a recall and a free rental car is available as your letter states, please help me find a dealer who will honor the offer in the never ending recall notices that I receive or take me off of this mailing list so I do not have to continue to see these threats of serious injury or death to me or my passengers as they are causing too much stress and anxiety for me!.

Takata recall during a January snowfall and freeze, I was traveling in the middle lane of the highway at approximately 50-60 miles per hour, with the speed of traffic. A car approximately 7-8 car lengths ahead of me began to break and I did too. I was breaking when my car began to fishtail and I was able to maintain control of the car for 2-3 seconds before hitting a patch of ice and spinning into the highway concrete median. My car did not hit any other vehicles before hitting the median on the driver side front and hood. I estimate that I was traveling over 40 miles an hour. The car then spun around and hit the back drivers side and then spun again to facing forward. My concern is that the airbags, which were replaced in the takata recall a few years ago did not go off. The car was considered totaled and was donated.

Takata recall.

Received notification that there may be an air bag problem and that I should register my car.

I don't know what's wrong with my car, but I do know that the airbag warning continuely lights on.

My airbag/seat belt light stays on constantly.

Recall has been corrected at the Honda dealership in oxford, nc. There was no crash. I received a notice and took the car to the shop.

They sent me a letter on the my name my mothers me which is I return the letter and say my mother is not the owner of my Honda vivo 2004 when I call the Honda dealer to make sure and go over and get fixed,they say they already fixed it in 2015 . So I want to know what happen with the new recall letter that you guys sent me under my mothers name .

Air bag srs system malfunction.

Takata recall. I received the recall notice from Honda for takata air bags. . The first time I got the notice I called and wasn't able to get an appointment for months. Now I get a second notice asking me to fix this problem and to call 1-844-758-9245. I have been calling this number for two weeks and all I get are busy signals. I try in the morning and afternoon. I have tried Monday - Thursday last week and nothing but busy. Hmm looks like Honda doesn't want to fix these cars.

Takata recalls we have never received anything stating if our vehicle has been recalled or not. Everything I read says it has & we will receive notification. Well when will that happen, when an airbag explodes & hurts someone?.

"takata recall" we own 2 Hondas involved in the recall. The airbags were replaced on both vehicles. The srs light is illuminated on both vehicles since the airbag was replaced. Rt. 23 Honda, pompton plains, NJ replaced the airbags. They want $300 for each vehicle to fix this problem that they say is not related to the airbag replacement. We feel this must be related to the replacement. Seems unlikely that 2 vehicles after replacement would have the same problem. I will submit a second form since there are 2 VIN numbers involved. I last spoke to the dealer about this on 4/21/2016.

Srs light on for years. Told it was nothing to worry about. Then Honda says it is a serious safety issue, I have to pay hundreds of dollars for repair. Transmission went out cost over $2500 so far, car still isn't working. Well known problem but Honda is greedy and won't pay to fix their unsafe vehicles. Car overheats when using the heater. Driver seat feels like it is going to move while driving. I will never buy a Honda ever again.
