1 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 11/10/2025

Got this vehicle about a year and a half ago at full price from local dealership. It looks like it has been pieced together with many other Hondas. The check engine light has been on ever since. The car keeps yet no camera. Just tried to get inspected. So far charged 2500 but was given a pass on inspection only for the light to come back on. I noticed on the back of repair paperwork this car has 2 airbag recalls. I feel duped I feel like this is attempted murder. I feel scared and sad. Something must be done with used car purchases.

4 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 07/06/2022

Air bag warning light had randomly come on/off 3-4 × for only a few hours since last airbag recall in 2018. Was so random and brief never gave it much thought. But it came on early July 2022 and stayed on. Took it in to Honda dealer thurs July 14 for diagnostic check. Was told there was a defect in the passenger side/seat airbag and this was not a recall and would cost approx $900 to replace. Part on back order. Honda service rep stated that when the warning light is on none of the airbags are functional. I did not order part on the 14th d/t considered buying another car which I quickly decided against. After picking up my car after hours on the 14th I notice the warning light is no longer on. After playing phone tag w/ dealer on fri and mon July 15,18 I drive to the dealership on 7-19 to order the part and to get answers on the warning light to no avail. I then call corporate Honda to make a claim asking to investigate this non wear and tear airbag defect. And after 2-3 weeks was told it is not a covered item. The rep also said that if the warning light was reset on the 14th it would come back on as soon as it detects the defect. Still noone can determine whether or not I have any airbag protection. So I reach out here to request a safety investigation on this seemingly random non wear / tear airbag defect. I feel there is a trend as there have already been 2 airbag recalls on my car. I feel this is a huge safety issue. Esp since I may or may not have full airbag protection on all the other airbags. The Honda dealer I originally took my car to has not returned any of my 3 calls I have made. (7-21,27,8-4) so I have made another appointment Aug 25 at another Honda dealer to run another diagnostic test to see if an airbag defect is detected; to decipher the light situation if I have airbag coverage or did the warning light bulb burn out? please consider this a safety defect issue and assist me to get Honda to cover the cost.

15 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 08/09/2017

Question last year or so, Honda issued recall for airbags, I had my airbag replaced with that recall. Today, I went to your recall site, just checking vehicles, entered my Honda VIN, and your site states no recalls for that car? how come the airbag replacement does not show up? is that because I had it replaced, and you track whether a repair was done to my car or not? thanks for clarification no new incidents happened, this jst relates to confusion with your website information.

17 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 04/05/2017

I recently received a notice from Honda corporate regarding the airbag recall. This reminded me that about a year ago my dealership sent me a letter about it and asked me to sign a form that said I would not drive my car until the airbag was replaced if I forfeit the daily $15 they would give me for transportation, which was not a reasonable amount at all. At that time they had me on a waiting list and never contacted me when parts became available. I had called several times to follow up. I called today and said I received a letter noting that the federal government is involved and aware and now suddenly they have the parts? I am complaining about the dealership's lack of follow up for their customers' safety. The dealer service center name is herb chambers boston, commonwealth Ave.

19 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 02/09/2017

Takata recall: Honda is doing a poor job of notifying customers of their airbag recall. I received only one letter when their airbag problem was announced, but no notifications since. I have been tracking the recall status on their website using my VIN#, however it continues to indicate "recall incomplete. Remedy not yet available. Frustrated by this safety concern, I finally called my local Honda dealer for update and they casually stated they would order an airbag and install it in two days. What?? why is Honda not notifying owners that a fix is available? this is outrageous and irresponsible!.

35 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 08/10/2016

Takata recall. . . Honda's misleading instructions regarding, denied temporary workaround for, and liability release waiver requirement. . . . In March 2016 I get a letter from Honda corporate informing me of the recall that said do nothing and that I would be contacted when parts were available in summer. When I called the dealership today (August) to follow up, I was told that because I hadn't called the dealership in March, they never ordered my parts. I read them the letter, verbatim, and asked where does it say I was suppose to call the dealership before you'd order parts? rep had no answer. The letter also spoke of a provision for "temporary alternative transportation," yet when I asked the dealership what that was about, I was told they didn't know anything about that. I called national Honda to complain about this. I was told that the letter that would have told me to call the dealership had "been delayed" but that the dealership should have offered me a loaner. I called back, and was told that to get a loaner I must drive the unsafe car to them to have the mileage verified, then, sign a waiver releasing Honda from liability if something happened when I drove that unsafe car home. If the vehicle is so unsafe to drive that I must sign a waiver to take it home, then why do they require me to drive it there so that they can see how many miles are on it? also, to pick up the loaner car, I'd need a passenger to drive it home while I drove the unsafe vehicle home, but this would put the passenger at risk when we drove to Honda so that they can see the mileage and to pick up the loaner car. The logic escapes me. Have someone drive a loaner car to my home, have them look and verify my mileage while they're here, and then no one has to drive the unsafe car!.
