1 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 06/21/2024

The side air bags popped upon one car tire going on curb when I was driving in the dark and thought I saw a deer. My safety was put at risk because now I don't have airbags insurance will inspect soon. I already filed a progressive claim. The problem has been issue with other Honda crv models. I cant be the only one to have experienced this causing expensive repair costs that I cant afford as a single mother no warnings prior to the problem.

2 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 02/01/2023

The airbag light often turns red, indicating that airbags are not likely to be deployed if needed. This happens usually when the steering is turned in a certain way when I take left or right turn (more likely during the left turn). No accidents. I took it to the dealership for repair. The dealership says this is an issue with a faulty part (clockspring) but there is no certainty. Even the cost of a clockspring replacement is about $500. I suspect this has something to do with 2011 Honda crv airbag light issues. However, Honda never recognized this significant safety-related issue in 2012 crvs.

Lost control of my car when I looked down to pick up a piece of ice in my console. In the crash the steering wheel air bag did not deploy, and my accelerator stuck.

7 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 01/08/2018

We had a direct deer hit on i81 north in grantville PA. The direct hit was taken on the driver's side of the vehicle at 65 mph in highway driving. The airbag only deployed on the passenger side not on the driver's side. This seemed very odd to us. Either both air bags should have deployed or neither airbag should have deployed in this accident. Pictures are attached. I reported this to american Honda, but they refused to investigate it and I had to beg them for an email address to send the pictures to. Given their attitude, I felt I needed to report this accident to NHTSA. My car was totaled by new jersey manufacturer's insurance CO.

14 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 03/22/2016

On Friday, March 18, 2016, I received a safety recall letter from Honda automobile division, american Honda motor CO. , inc. Regarding a defect pertaining to my 2011 Honda Cr-v. On Monday, March 21, 2016, I initially contacted my local Honda dealer (Honda of nanuet) where I purchased the vehicle. The manager, dominick informed me that the part to correct the defect would not be available for replacement until late summer 2016. He offered me the option of either bringing my car to be stored at the dealership or storing it at my home until the part becomes available. He further informed me that Honda of nanuet would accommodate me with a rental from avis in nanuet, new york. I would only be able to chose from the available compact vehicles on the lot at the time they arrange for the rental. I advised dominick that I have a temporary handicapped parking permit due to knee problems I have. I inquired about renting a vehicle similar to the Cr-v however dominick informed me that I would have to pay an additional $15 per day. I then contacted my insurance company who advised me that my policy will not cover this long term rental, that it is the dealerships responsibility. I then contacted dominick to discuss the insurance issue and he advised me that Honda would not be covering the cost of insurance and furthermore, I should leave my car at home as opposed to bringing it to the dealer to store. I am unclear why a recall issued by Honda would cost me money and inconvenience. I would like know my rights with regard to such a recall.

15 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 09/25/2015

I was stopped in traffic about 10 feet behind a vehicle and rear ended by a car going at least 40 - 50 mph. The crash caused my car to be pushed into the car in front of me. There was a small amount of damage to the front of my car, but there was extensive damage to the rear of my car, pushing the back seats into the front. My car was totaled. Not one airbag deployed, the drivers seat broke and my seatbelt did not restrain me after the initial impact causing me to be thrown into the passenger seat and knocking me out. There were no passengers in my car.

16 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 05/28/2015

When pulling into a parking spot in a parking structure, as I prepared to stop, the automobile, I think, inexplicably accelerated, crashing into the concrete barrier wall. The airbag deployed. To sum up, I think that my car accelerated by itself.

17 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 11/19/2014

Takata recall my car is a "subject car" and if I am driving a potential "time bomb" which could maim or kill me or my family, I naturally prefer it to be fixed sooner rather than later. It has not blown up yet, but when it might, that will be too late. I wrote a letter to mr. Yamada, pres. & ceo of Honda motor CO. Na and he ignored my letter of November 19, 2014. My lawyer has a copy of that letter should the air bag explode.
