2009 Honda Civic never in an accident. In Feb 2019 he airbag light came on. Front airbags were previously replaced under takita recall. I was told the passenger seat side airbag had to be replaced for "a part that just fails over time" and was not part of the recall. I paid $1100 to have it replaced. Two months later and the airbag light is on again and I fear it is now the driver side curtain airbag that has failed and I will have to put another $1100 into a car for failure of a safety part. The car has 112,000 miles and I just paid an additional $1400 for rear breaks, shocks, etc. , which I consider routine maintenance. I could have put $3600 down on a new car. Now I am already into this car for $2500 and fixing the airbag is non-negotiable. It needs to be done. I would be curious to know how many other people are having side airbag issues with Honda vehicles. Also, the paint is peeling off the vehicle! started peeling 6 months after the warranty was up so Honda not responsible.
