Front Air Bag Sensor Control problems of the 2012 Honda Civic

The passenger air bag sensor in the seat won't come on when my wife sits in it. She weighs about 115 pounds. The second problem my car is experiencing is its burning a huge amount of oil.

Takata recall: I brought my 2012 Honda Civic lx into today 6/9/2016 in regal Honda in lakeland, florida to have the airbag passenger seat sensors replaced, the parts replaced were: pad, r, f, 81127, opds unit 81334 and c-clip se 90600. Plus a couple of weeks ago I had the diagnostic performed for $49. 95. The symptom was the airbag sensor was being displayed.

Part # 77970-tr0-a11 sensor, side impa failure after 20,314 miles. This failure was not the result of any accident. Cost to replace was $251. 82 ii feel Honda motor CO should reimburse.

The sensor that controls the speed of the airbag in the passenger seat, based on the passenger weight, is malfunctioning. I took it to the dealer and was told that the defective part that needs replacing is not on any recall list.

On Saturday January 10 2015 I was driving I was coming to a intersection when the stop light change I press on my brakes and my car did not stop even after I was pumping it it did nothing my steering became locked the only recourse I had was to pull the emergency brakes to prevent my car from hitting anyone. I ending up in the middle of the intersection. Even after I was able to stop and move my car away the brakes and steering did not work. This is now preventing me from driving since I don't know if and when it might happen again. Also I have notice any one that is sitting in the passenger seat and is seat belted the sensor is not able to recognized that it giving alert that the person need to put on the seat belt this is a safety concern that Honda refuse to acknowledge.

The passenger air bag turns off when there is someone in the seat. The passenger is not near the weight minimum, and there is nothing in the back seat pocket that might disturb the sensor. They also are not moving around. I am also not aware of being able to keep the airbag on or manually turning it back on.

Purchased vehicle pre-owned with 12k miles. Since purchase, the front passenger seat airbag sensor illuminates and DE-luminates when someone is sitting (riding) there (over 100 lbs). To date, there are no recalls. I called Honda cust svc today. Honda svc said to take vehicle to dealer for inspection and if not happy with them, go to another Honda dealer, ie, second opinion. Honda does not accept the fact there is a problem with the sensor for the airbag. If anyone else has this problem please write a letter to whomever you think may be able to help so that Honda will repair the sensor before someone is injured due to this sensor not working properly.
