My 2002 Honda crv's entire passenger side airbag assembly was replaced on 11-20-2019, per Honda.

An open recall (NHTSA recall # 19v-501) from 06-27-2019 still is showing on my vehicle - if the entire passenger side airbag assembly was replaced on 11-20-2019, there should be no open NHTSA recall on my vehicle issued prior to 11-20-2019.

6 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 09/12/2019

Takata recall I received a recall notice x5c for my 2002 Honda Cr-v but Honda has stated in 2 different phone calls that they do not have the resources to fix my car at this time. During both phone calls, the Honda representatives told me not to have anyone ride in the passenger front seat. The NHTSA website lists the 2002 Cr-v as one of the cars that should not be driven except to the dealer for repair. My dealer, mendenhall auto in juneau, ak, has advised me that my Cr-v is part of phase 5 and that Honda will not authorize repair of my vehicle at this time. Based on the information from NHTSA and Honda, my car is not safe to drive but neither Honda nor the authorized dealer is willing to repair it. Mendenhall auto stated it will probably be next summer before repair will be authorized. Honda refused to give me a timeline estimate for repair, just repeatedly stating they would call me when more information is available. This is unacceptable and potentially life-threatening.

9 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 12/27/2017

"takata recall" my Honda-crv was hit behind by a young lady in November 2016. She admitted her fault and her insurance company paid for the repair to the garage. The rear bumper was severely dented and it created some other mechanical problems and the garage owner fixed them. I do not have knowledge about it. Emphatically, I should say: # 1. When this accident took place the air-bag did not deploy. It is a big question ? # 2. The garage owner, during the repair days asked me to take the vehicle to another garage who did the 'wheel alignments. " one of the persons there told me " the excel is not good/defective and need to be fixed or replaced. . . Something like that as far as I can remember. " I said that I can not afford to do that now and I brought the vehicle back. I told about it to my garage owner. He inspected it and said " can not see such a thing, but will see later. " since then, I use the car with suspicious and scare to drive far away places. Never drive on free-ways. # 3. I got a dash board warning in September this year. The garage owner said that engine oil need to be changed and I did so on 09. 26. 2017. But still the light is on ? I think it says " maintenance required. " why is the light is on even after oil change is done ? I do not drive the vehicle everyday as I can not afford gas money. We are state beneficiaries and the state has categorized us as low income family. Myself and three family members most of the time travel by bus. Therefore, I can not afford to pay for repairs and kindly help me to fix these issues at an early date. Thank you.

12 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 06/16/2016

Had the recalls done and now the srs light will not go out. Have tried the reset and hooked up my code reader - code reader has no indication of a problem. Reset did not work.

Car starts and runs fine but the srs light remains on. Is there a warrentee with the safety systems.

16 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 06/02/2015

The srs light on my instrument panel recently activated which I figured was a result of the recent air bag recall and would be rectified when the dealer replaced the air bag parts as part of the recall. Unfortunately, after having both passenger and driver air bag recall work completed on 6/30/15, the srs light remains lit. Cost of repair was estimated by dealer at $850 and apparently not covered by Honda as part of the recall(!) even though I was told the srs system controls both the air bag and seat belt tensioning systems. Not sure how these units would wear out other than by internal failure since the air bags fortunately haven't ever been deployed- sure seems like it should be a no brainer recall item given the potential life safety danger the failure of this system poses.
