1 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 02/01/2025

About a year ago, the transmission failed costing us nearly $5000 to fix it. This incident happened approximately April of 2022, no warning signs at all. Now, the airbag deployed while merging onto the freeway without any impact which was the scariest thing. I’m very concerned there are other issues. There were no warning signs on both incidents.

3 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 03/03/2024

Air bag light came on like 1 year ago. I had the dealership do the diagnostic on the car. They said it was cable relay. They said estimate to repair was over $2000. I have contacted Honda goodwill department and after several emails and phone calls they gave me an option to pay $100 and they cover the rest. I have agreed. They have replaced cable relay and everything was fine. About a month later the airbag light came back on. I went to the dealership for diagnostics and they said that its the driver side airbag that is defective and that they recommended it to be replaced. Cost with labor $1100. I wrote to Honda goodwill again but the said they only did a one time courtesy and that I am responsible for the future expenses. The car has never been in an accident and its not my fault that there is an airbag issue. Im afraid of my and my family’s safety when I drive the car. Please help.

This is a potential issue for others and currently I have very bad neck and head pain from the accident. My car had a warning screen saying “check airbag system” after the accident.

The specific part is the driver side airbag inflater which is causing the airbag system to fail. The repair has not been done on the vehicle yet. According to the dealer, when the indicator light triggers, none of the airbags will inflate in an accident. After February 1, 2023 the airbag indicator is activated every time the car is driven. The car was taken to the local dealer at the end of March 2023. The service adviser said the resistance is out of tolerance for the air bag causing the entire airbag system to fail.

25 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 01/21/2015

Air pressure on my front passenger tire has been low since a month into the purchase of this car. The alert only went off once, but when I got the tires refilled, the tire still seemed flat. I just let it be because no further alerts came on. But I was in an accident and slipped on snow the other day and hit a curb, which deployed my airbags. I do not think that if this tire was defective I would have gotten into this accident. I was going around 10mph, as I was pulling out of a parking lot.

27 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 10/20/2014

I received a notice about a recall for my vehicle and was urged to act promptly in getting it fixed. I was told in the letter to call my Honda dealership so they could order replacement parts and then schedule to drop off my car for them to be able to install the replacement parts. I called duval Honda on cassat and was told by the service desk that they were not ordering parts until I brought the car by for an inspection first, but they could not inspect any car after 3pm. I find this extremely unsatisfactory since most of us that own these cars work for a living. The lady I spoke with called her manager and he confirmed that no, they were not inspecting cars for this recall after 3pm I called a different dealer in town and they are ordering the parts without seeing my car and I have scheduled to drop it off with them. You should know that not all dealerships are helping people with this problem!.

28 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 09/26/2014

Dear Honda american, I have written to you a number of times regarding the safety notices. Either you are unable, or unwilling, to read my notes regarding the Honda Civic ex (1hges26712l033155), destroyed in a car accident in September 2014. The air bag - passenger side - exploded in a collision and took out the front windshield. My air bag - drive side - never deployed!! I was injured and required extensive physical therapy. I am still in pain from the accident. Every day. My dog, dayz, inside a safety-belted-into-place dog carrier, was injured. Within two weeks of the accident, she began having seizures. As a result of the accident. We had to put her to sleep at the end of October 2014. I repeatedly tried to have the air bags replaced before the accident. The local Honda dealerships were unhelpful and uncooperative. They are by the far and away the absolute worst when it comes to customer service. The word "proactive" has never entered into their vocabulary. In fact, I would not purchase a second Honda because they were such moronic idiots. Your cars may be the cream of the crop in japan, but here in the USA, we expect good customer service to accompany the purchase of a car. Which is severely lacking in any of your local dealerships. I would never recommend the purchase of a Honda to anyone based on my experience with the local dealerships. Please do not send me any more literature. About trading in my car. About a safety recall. Nothing. Thank you, annamarie foyles.

29 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 08/27/2014

While driving along at normal speeds, my vehicle alerted me that the airbag system needed to be checked. I immediately called the dealership where the vehicle was purchased and an appointment was made for me to bring the vehicle in for inspection. I took the vehicle in to the dealership and was told that they were unable to find anything wrong with the system. The srs light was reset and I was advised to contact the dealership if the light came on again. I did not make it home before the light came on again. I again contacted the dealership and was advised that I would need to bring the vehicle in and leave it all day for them to be able to determine what is causing the light to come on.
