Four problems related to air bag not deploy have been reported for the 2003 Honda Civic Hybrid. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
My teen aged child was driving on the interstate 5 freeway going 65 mph and traffic came to a sudden stop and he immediatly stepped on his brake pedal to try to avoid hitting the car in front of him but the car in front of him hit the car ahead and then my child hit the second car in a chain reaction. When the police arrive he noted that the air bags did not deploy despite the impact. The officer siad that it should have. This week I recieved a notice from Honda saying that this vehicle has a recall for the air bag issue. This is why the air bag did not deploy? my child went to santa clarita hospital emergency service but has since checked out. There is a police report and of course the car was insured but there is front damage to the car. Please let me know if the damages to the car can be fixed due to the recall. Thanks.
Front end collision in clearwater FL in which the seat belt did not restrain the driver and the air bag did not deploy. Driver's head hit windshield, he has significant head, neck and back injuries. The vehicle, a 2003 Honda civic is a total loss. The car's srs light had come on approx. 1 month before the accident. A Honda dealer replaced a part needed for that approx. 2 weeks before the accident.

On going problem with srs light on at 102,000 miles,Honda replaced front shoulder belt/retractor tensioner at 103,375 miles. Srs light on at 107,948 miles failed driver side seat belt tensioner, replaced by Honda. At 121,223 srs light on again this time not seatbelt tensioner. I was told this is an airbag problem and the starting cost is $800. I was told the seatbelt will hold in an accident, but the airbags will not deploy and this needs to be repaired. I can't afford the repair cost involved. I really don't want to drive around in a small vehicle without airbags, but no option.
