While the vehicle is in motion and making left or right hand turns (90 degree turns) with the vehicle going ~10 mph the airbag warning light�turns and stays on for some time before it disappears. However, the frequency of the airbag warning lights have increased. I took the vehicle to the dealership for further investigation and was told the issue is coming from a cable reel and the driver inflation may need to be replaced too. According to the Honda technician- if the issue/parts remain unfixed, the airbag will fail to deploy in a forward movement crash.

Passenger airbag never detects when my son or another preteen close to his age is sitting in the seat. It always turns off/ deactivates. If there was an accident the airbag would not deploy and provide safety for my child or his cousins when inside my vehicle.
Front end collision. 30 mph. Ran into stopped car ahead. Airbag did not deploy.
Driving on a rural highway and hit a deer. Impact bent the bracket that holds the airbag sensor completely backwards and into the sensor itself, which cracked. Airbag never deployed. Now, post repair, airbag warning and light are on constantly.

While driving on i5 headed south to medford, or on June 6, 2014, at around 9:30 pm I struck what appeared to be a small refrigerator which was laying on the highway. There was what appeared to be minor damage to the bumper of the 2012 Honda Civic that I was driving. The sensors for the airbag system were triggered, but the air bags did not deploy. Upon taking the vehicle to the Honda dealership to get repairs, we learned that the harness for the air bag system had been severed.
As I was driving to work at 4:30 am in heavy fog I hit a deer that was standing in the road. I noticed as I got out of the vehicle the car said something about the airbag sensor, well I didn't think nothing of it as I was worried about the condition my car was in at the time. Well the body shop that fixed my car stated the airbag should have 100% deployed due to the fact the sensor was busted and the wire was completely into. My concern is why in the world did the airbag not deploy? I am glad it didn't but what if it had been a collison with a car. Would the airbags not deploy and I take a chance on dying because of faulty airbags? I am really upset about this situation. I do not feel safe driving this car now. . . And I loved this car and one reason I bought this was because of safety. . But now I do not know if I made the right choice. Now the car is "fixed" the check airbag and emission system light is on. I am taking it to Honda as soon as I can, but I am driving this car without seat belt working and the airbags not working. . . Can someone please help me with this? thank you. . .
