Air Bag Problems of Honda CR-V - part 1

Supplemental restraint system problem. See you dealer. After 10 miles on my new car. Got error just after I left my dealer.

I got over to the edge of the road to avoid hitting a animal, and hit a small rock (with front passenger tire) and then subsequently had a spontaneous deployment and rupture of my passenger airbag, then my driver airbag deployed. A fire then came from the passenger airbag, with lots of dust in the air. I could not understand why a very small bump triggered the airbags and was shocked by the first, I was able to put out the fire but experienced minor burns on my middle finger and thumb on my right hand, I could hear out of left ear and had ringing the right and the next day the hearing is better on the left but still very muffled on the right. I then did some internet searching and saw the airbag recall for my VIN, and the summary of potential failure matched what I experienced. The explosion and the rupturing of the air bags was so load I thought my car had blown up. The vehicle was then towed to northwest towing in [xxx]. Their number is [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Often when driving with adaptive cruise control on, the car suddenly brakes hard without cause . Sometime when a car in front of me turns right and sometimes if I pass a car parked on the street it will also brake hard for no reason.

Systematic safety opponent failure - passenger side air bag. It deployed into my daughter's face. I took it to hayward Honda for repair. No police, no insurance as of yet. The dealership is claiming that the impact occurred in the undercarriage, but no report, no pictures, no edr data provided. This was simply a spontaneous, non-impact, faulty airbag deployment. I was able to continue to drive my vehicle with no problems. They had suggested I file a claim with my insurance, but I requested the information. I want to report this, for they still have my vehicle with no resolution.

My dealer won’t make the recall repair with the excuse the factory isn’t sending him the parts. That’s been his excuse for 2 years.

The driver-side frontal airbag/restraint system may have failed to operate during a collision involving a significant impact to the front driver’s side of my 2026 Honda Cr-v. The vehicle was declared a total loss, but the driver’s airbag did not deploy. The seat belt locked and appeared to function properly. The insurance company has already taken possession of the vehicle, so its present availability for inspection is unknown. My safety was put at risk because the driver’s airbag did not provide additional protection during the impact. Following the accident, I experienced a concussion, dizziness/vertigo, and neck, shoulder, and back pain. The issue has not been reproduced or formally confirmed by a Honda dealer or an independent service center. I notified Honda that the airbag did not deploy, but Honda did not inspect the vehicle. No police officer, insurance representative, collision center, or other qualified person gave me an explanation or confirmed whether the airbag should have deployed. The vehicle was inspected by insurance representatives for the total-loss claim, but, to my knowledge, the airbag system itself was not specifically inspected. Whether any airbag or srs warning lamp or message appeared before the collision is unknown. I do not recall receiving an airbag warning before the accident. The exact cause of the non-deployment is unknown and requires inspection of the vehicle, crash data, sensors, and airbag control system.

My air bag light has come on. The vehicle has never been in an accident. There is no damage to the air bag. The shop stated it’s the passenger side curtain airbag the other issue is the a/c. There was a recall it got fixed but my a/c is still not working.

On March 30, 2026, a safety issue was documented regarding a 2018 Honda Cr-v currently located at crash champions collision center. The driver-side steering wheel airbag module is entirely missing from the vehicle due to a physical loss/theft, rendering the supplemental restraint system (srs) completely non-functional and leaving the vehicle unrepairable due to an indefinite oem manufacturer backorder. Operating this vehicle without a primary steering wheel airbag leaves the driver completely unprotected by safety restraints in a frontal collision, posing an immediate, life-threatening hazard. This critical safety issue, along with the total lack of replacement part availability, has been officially confirmed and documented by crash champions, where the vehicle has been grounded for three consecutive months. Additionally, a state farm insurance representative has physically inspected the vehicle and opened formal comprehensive repair claim #[xxx]. There were no warning lamps or symptoms prior to the incident, as this represents a total physical loss of the component; however, the dashboard srs/airbag warning light is now actively illuminated due to the missing module. Widespread manufacturer supply-chain backorders on these critical safety components prevent the vehicle from being returned to a crashworthy condition, leaving it indefinitely inoperable from a safety standpoint. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

I had a accident with a another and now both them are totaled but I didn’t got any airbags deployed when I called Honda and ingot a person for the case he is like you need to go to dealership and inspect the car and they are like they don’t have any responsibility for safety issue.

The contact owns a 2019 Honda Cr-v. The contact stated that while pulling into the street, the light was green, and she noticed a vehicle coming in fast into a turning light, and when he turned, she braced for impact. The contact stated she was in the left lane and got pushed all the way to the right lane during the crash.

The vehicle was towed to a local bodyshop. A police report was filed. The driver was the only occupant. The injury sustained was a burn on the left arm and stomach, and pain in the neck and back.

Am filing a complaint regarding my Honda vehicle being inoperable for over 2 months due to an airbag replacement part being on national backorder after the airbag was stolen. This is a critical safety component and I have been unable to safely use my vehicle during this time. Honda has acknowledged the part is unavailable and my case was marked “urgent,” however I have received very limited communication and no meaningful resolution timeline. I have also been told rental assistance is not being covered, leaving me without reliable transportation for months because a required safety part cannot be obtained. I am concerned about the length of time these safety-related components are unavailable and the impact this has on consumers who cannot safely operate their vehicles. I am requesting review of this issue and Honda’s handling of extended airbag-related part backorders.

This Honda Cr-v had a sudden surge of acceleration while the brake pedal was pressed. The brake pedal was stepped off to put car into drive, but then the car suddenly went forward over 30 mph and crashed into a fence and tree in the driveway straight across from it about 5 feet away. The airbag did not immediately deploy, but deployed a minute later. The entire front end of the car was destroyed. The driver tried to press the brake, shift into neutral and even turn the key of the car off to shut it off but none of those worked. This car was purchased at carmax in may 2025 and had no issues per them. There were no warning lights on the car prior to this.

[xxx] is the VIN. Airbags did nit deploy I was driving 77 mph on i80 near [xxx] . Another vehicle, a chevy malibu, left the left lane of traffic and drove on the median. This driver over corrected when her speed was 83 mph. I hit her broadside (tbone) in the b pillar dead center on the my front of my crv. My airbags did not deploy. I received a broken sternum from hitting the steering wheel. Usaa did not investigate, just saw the photos and totalled the crv. The chevy malibu had all the airbags deploy. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

I was involved in an accident which resulted in my c-RV being totaled. Another vehicle pulled out immediately in front of me and I crashed into it. None of my airbags deployed. My vehicle's emergency response system was activated- it called emergency response and kept repeating that a crash had been detected. The front of my car was crushed in and the impact sent the vehicle that pulled out in front of me, a Toyota 4runner, doing a full roll and ending up on its side. Clearly, the airbags should have activated. I purchased the Cr-v new, was the only owner, the vehicle had less than 5,000 miles on it, had never been in an accident, and there were no warning lights or messages indicating any problem with the airbag system prior to the accident. The car was deemed a total loss by my insurance company.

Thank you.

No problem.

I was driving my crv and a deer was in the road. I hit the deer going 40mph. It blew out the whole front of my car, my sensors, headlights, both fenders and my hood are dented. No airbags deployed or any sensors alerted me of the object or leaving the roadway. Also when I hit the deer, I lost all steering on that moment. I had to turn off my car and then back on to get my steering to release.

Wife was rear ended by tractor trailer while sitting still going in the back of another vehicle and no airbags deployed causing wife to hit head on steering wheel.

My vehicle was involved in a very bad accident and deemed a total loss due to all the front end damage. Serious injuries occurred and none of the air bags deployed.

My front passenger seat weight sensor is faulty and shows as "off" when a large passenger is in the seat. An independent service center has scanned and confirmed the faulty sensor. I see crv recalls for both the sensors and airbags, but my VIN does not return a result.

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.
