2 Front Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 04/25/2007

The srs light came on in my 2002 Honda crv which has only 35000 miles. I took it to the dealer who informed me that the srs must have went bad and it would cost $700 to fix. I asked if the light on could be caused by the front passenger seat belt locking up regularly which temporarily does not allow you to get enough seat belt to actually reach the buckle and the dealer said that might be the problem but I still would need to replace the whole srs system. I asked if this was a recall and he said not at this time. I now have checked the recalls and see that the seat belts as well as the air bags have been recalled and I have not been notified of either by the dealer and I would think this would be immediately corrected especially since the srs light came on which is directly related to both of these safety devices.

3 Front Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 06/15/2005

Good afternoon, my name is laura sargent and I am submitting a complaint regarding the Honda crv (year 2002). On 6/25/2004, I was rear ended while waiting on a metered freeway entrance ramp in milwaukee, WI. The other driver did not know that the ramp was metered and rear ended my vehicle between 40 - 50 mph; my car was then pushed into the vehicle in front of me. Although it was a high speed collision on the front and rear, the airbag on my 2002 Honda crv did not inflate. I hit my head on the steering wheel and had facial bruising and a large gash on my forehead requiring approximately 20 stitches. My car is totaled; the hood is crushed and the rear end was pushed in approximately 3 feet. I bought my crv new in 2002, partially on the assumption that it was a safe vehicle that would protect me in the event of a car accident. On Friday, I called the dealership where my car is serviced (russ darrow Honda in milwaukee, WI) to make certain that I had not missed any recalls, and they confirmed that my car was current with all recalls (there have been no airbag specific recalls for my year). If my airbag had inflated, I most likely would have walked away from the scene without any lasting reminders. Many consumers consider a vehicle safety rating and airbag quality when choosing a new vehicle. Since you cannot test airbags except in a lab environment or accident situation, consumers must rely on the trustworthiness of the manufacturer and hope that they work when required. I'd like to understand why my airbag did not inflate and I think it would be helpful for other consumers to also be aware of this situation. . . I see many other Honda crvs on the road.

4 Front Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 03/01/2005

I have a Honda 2002 crv. On your web site it states that the front air bags have been recalled and after taking my crv to the dealer they stated that your web site is wrong and only part of 2002 crvs have been recalled and mine isn't one of them. My srs light has been on for months and they want a fortune to look and fix it. Right now I have no front airbags on my crv and your site states that this problem was recalled.
