1 Front Air Bag Sensor Control problem

Failure Date: 11/01/2018

Takata recall possibility? my airbag sensor has been on for months. There has been no recall, yet I've read tons of the same complaint on the same vehicle. It says "check airbag system" immediately after starting the car. I don't know how there's not been a recall yet when the airbag thing is a serious issue and there are a lot of these complaints out there. Please advise.

2 Front Air Bag Sensor Control problem

Failure Date: 10/25/2018

I am unsure if this is part of the takata recall, however using my vehicle's horn for the first time today, while in motion, since purchasing less than 30 days ago, my "check airbag system" sensor light came on along with the display message. I parked and turned the car off for about 10 mins. Warning message was gone but as I proceeded to drive, the light and message returned. Unfortunately, I bought the car at a third party dealer not Honda and they are not assuming any responsibility or at least try to help fix my issue. This is such a safety hazard, especially in such automobile.

3 Front Air Bag Sensor Control problem

Failure Date: 01/05/2018

Airbag system failure - a "check airbag system" warning alert appeared on the dashboard of my 2013 Honda Civic. I checked for recalls and finally took my car into my Honda dealer. The service advisor informed me that a "driver side door airbag sensor failed" and told me it can be fixed for $310. 00 plus labor!!!.

4 Front Air Bag Sensor Control problem

Failure Date: 09/12/2017

While car is in motion check air bag sensor will go off. Sensor will stay on until ignition is turned off and car is in park. The sensor will periodically turn on and off over the last 8months. When contacting Honda dealer about the check airbag sensor they stated it not related to the recall. I disagree if my sensor are reading check airbags something must be going on.

5 Front Air Bag Sensor Control problem

Failure Date: 02/03/2017

Purchased Honda certified used Civic in 9/2016, check airbag system light started coming on randomly around 2/2017 while vehicle was stationary and driving. Light would come on multiple times a day, or sometimes only once every few weeks. Have taken the car to two different Honda dealers (including the one it was purchased from) multiple times and dealer is unable to solve issue. Charging system sensor and cable reel have both been replaced, but light continues to randomly come on. Dealer is denying any responsibility and continues to use their 'computer flow chart' to try and diagnose with no success. This is a major safety issue and Honda needs to issue recall and take responsibility. Multiple reports have been filed!.
