Front Air Bag Sensor Control problems of the 2006 Honda Civic

There is a malfunction in the air bag sensor that the dealership told me could cause the airbags to deploy at anytime or even not go off during an accident. But apparently the repair is not covered.

Last evening 5/28/2014 at 10:10 pm my wife and I were running an errand when a driver from another vehicle pulled blindly across 2 lanes of traffic in front of us. Due to the fact a semi tractor trailer combination was in the left hand lane, stopped, I was unable to see any vehicle in the suicide lane until he was in my lane of travel. We were driving at approx 35 mph when the collision occurred. My 2006 Honda Civic coupe hit a late 2000's Jeep wrangler. Impact area was to the right front of my vehicle and the right rear wheel area of the other vehicle. The seat belts worked as designed, but neither airbag went off. I have pictures of the car and the lateral accelerometer on the right front is hanging. This system was fully operational, and had no codes stored in the sdm nor any lights on on the dash. The impact was less than 6 inches from the sensor. My query is to why the bags did not deploy. Speed should have been great enough to cause deployment, as well as the area of impact.

2006 Honda Civic ex the srs light stays on which disarms air bag system on car. Took vehicle to dealer , they stated the opds unit was faulty. That make and model of vehicle has a recall which describes a sensor problem with srs system that could eventually lead to a whole system to fail. Called american Honda ,they responded that the recall had been made but could not produce any proof of paperwork to me because I was the second owner. I bought the car from a certified Honda dealer two and a half years prior the only proof of any recall done was a rear wheel bearing done before my purchased is shown on records. The point is that the srs system has been identified as a frequent problem with my vehicle , american Honda refused to fix on their dime because warranty expiration but the air bag system and components in that car has a track of not working properly. The car is under 73,000miles. This is a safety issue for consumers of their products! I have not done any repairs as of now.

I bought my 2006 Honda Civic ex coupe brand new in November 2005, problems started to occur shortly afterwards for instance the airbag light had a malfunction and recalled the dealer didn't fix it the first time, very inconvenient, brake pedal was fixed before I bought the vehicle, there was a recall on that as well because could fall off and cause a crash. I have taken it in to Honda service to get problems fixed and numerous times, been told that its normal or some other ?!@#$% they always gave me the run around,the service people are rude, mean and incompetent and ignorant. I have taken my 06 Civic in a total of 8-10 times now to fix problems they never fix anything! interior trim is poor/poor altering from the factory, panels loose and popping out interior scratches too easily/fragile cheaply made ?!@#$% (still), front drivers seat wont retract all the way back anymore like it used to (new) weather stripping is lifting up by front windshield (still) various rattles from interior (still), undercoating/under body spray from factory is peeling completely off (new) door panel flexes and rpms rise when using windows/now seems to roll up/down slower than before (still/new) keep in mind im only at 11,000 miles too! Honda and toyotas quality is going downhill very fast especially with the Civic, crv, rdx, mdx, camry, tundra, highlander, landcruiser, yaris, and rav4. The last year before the redesign of these vehicles the quality was great, now it seems like Honda and Toyota are either teaming up together or competing to see who can make the cheapest and ?!@#$% vehicle with cheaply made materials and taking shortcuts, changed a suppliers or something, these problems are unacceptable for a new vehicle.

- the contact owns a 2006 Honda Civic coupe . While driving at 60 mph the contact's vehicle crashed into the rear of a vehicle in the emergency lane. Neither the driver's front nor the passenger's front air bags deployed. However, the passenger's side air bag did deploy.

The car is a new Honda Civic lx with less than 650 miles on the odometer. When I am a passenger in the front seat, the airbag system warning indicator light comes on. We took it to the dealer at 400+ miles and was told it was caused by electronic instrument interference - possibly a cell phone. The fault code was cleared and the light went out. However, the problem remains - only when I am a passenger in the front seat the airbag warning light turns on. I am a 6'3" mail and weigh 300 lbs. Smaller, lighter people do not seem to cause the warning light to register. I strongly suspect there is a manufacturing defect with an airbag sensor in the front passenger seat. I consider this a major safety defect.
