Abs brake system failure and unable to steer vehichle causing accident. Front passenger side airbag did not deploy for front passenger. If the passenger did not move his head when he did and driver they both likely would have been killed in the accident. When this vehichle was purchased at the carmax dealership less than 60 days ago, it was assured of no issues, however it did have low tire pressure warnings and they put air in tires at the time of test drive, I have read some people have had low tire warning / abs issues prior to abs failures and wish this to be investigated. This is suspicious.

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.

Was recently tboned at a red light, driver door, passenger door and frame dented in. I was spun around three times before coming to a stop. Front driver airbag and passenger airbag failed to deploy. Window won't roll fully down, driver and passenger stick and hard to open, lock makes a buzzing sound, seatbelt now stuck and seatbelt indicator dings even when fastened.
My 2013 Honda Civic consistently has the "check air bag system" indicator comes on 75% to 80% of the time when I begin to drive it. It's unknown why this occurs? it occurs while driving in the city or on the highways. Makes no difference. I've read many complaints about this on the internet from fellow Civic owners. This occurs only on the model year 2013. My concern is if I would be in an accident, I've been told if the warning light is on, the air bag system will not deploy and possibly could cause serious bodily injuries. This is not acceptable to have such a quality automobile company like Honda not to investigate and have this fixed. My car looks and drives like brand new with only 30k miles on it. I've check my VIN number for recalls but there are none. I went to a dealership and they said they could run a diagnostic check for $139. 00 but said that wouldn't guarantee a fix solution. And internet owners have paid for this to no avail for a fix solution. Then more diagnostic checks would be required and who knows at what expense? I'm asking to please look in to this situation for myself and my families well being and safety. Thank you for your time.

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.

"takata recall" my "check air bag light" is on constantly since December 2018. I took it to the Honda dealership, and they told me it is my driver side air bag that is affected. They told me I would have to pay out of pocket to fix my air bag, because it is not under recall. I have never, ever, ever heard of a car that is 3 1/2 years old with 43,000 miles that needs a new air bag? this car has never, ever, ever been in a car accident. This is not normal! how does an air bag go bad that has never deployed??? I do not have the money to buy a new driver side air bag. If I did have the money, I don't think I should have to pay for a brand new air bag on a new car. The car has only been in use for 3 1/2 years. I have to drive my niece who is a senior to visit colleges in florida for spring break all the way from connecticut. I have to drive for 4 full days and drive around florida and back risking my life, her life and her best friend's life. That is not fair. If I die, or the kids die, because their air bags do not work, that is not fair and cruel. I paid for a brand new car that advertised working air bags, not a "lemon". The car manufacturer and takata, is being shielded from having to pay to fix all of these defective air bags, while human beings will die to save them money. I am afraid for my life! I do not want to die, or kill my passengers by knowingly let them ride in my vehicle that has defective, non-functioning, deadly air bags. My car supposedly is fine. How could that be? my air bags do not work! are you telling me that this is all just a big coincidence? how could a new car have broken takata air bags? that does not seem unusual to you? this is cold-blooded to know that because of money my life is expendable. Why isn't my VIN number included in the recall? I do not have money to buy a new air bag(s) and pay for many hours of labor at Honda. Please help me!!.

I was involved in a single car, weather related accident. I was traveling approximately 35-40 miles per hour in heavy snow. I was wearing my seatbelt which came unlatched upon initial impact with a guard rail on the rear passenger side. My car then crossed the road and went into a ditch, striking some large boulders. That impact was on the front, driver side of the vehicle. The airbag did not deploy and the car was significantly damaged and declared a total loss. I was injured with a broken right arm, broken right leg, nine broken ribs and significant lacerations to my head and right ear from impacting the rear view mirror and front windshield. I spent 12 days in a critical care unit and 18 days in a rehabilitation center for physical therapy. I had to have plates and screws installed in my leg and arm to repair the broken bones. My husband inspected and tested the driver seatbelt and while it did appear to hold on some solid latches of the belt, was able to observe it fail and come unlatched after hearing a solid click/latch sound and then pulling with hand strength on the belt having it come unlatched.
I have started to get a "check air bag system" warning light on my dashboard. It doesn't happen when I start the car, but occurs at some point while driving.
