Front passenger airbag light is on and I have been told it is the sensor. This has been recalled on other 2016 crvs. I think more cars may be affected than those that are recalled.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I have been waiting for an airbag for my 2018 Honda crv since November 2025. I have made contact with Honda motors us corporate offices 2 months ago and they are failing to give me an estimate as to when my airbag will be sent to my dealership in chicago. They can not give me any concrete information as to when the part is even going to be manufactured. For the last 3 weeks they have given me zero concrete information. They are not providing me with a loaner car. My car has been unusable for over 6 months which is and the customer service representative suggested that I operate the car without an air bag.

On October 2025 there was a mass incident in different areas of queens NY in were airbags from Honda crvs were stolen. The vehicle was sent to a body shop to have the airbag replaced but american Honda motor CO. , inc does not have any available to distribute. We have reached out to them but there respond has been " we apologize for any inconvenince or delay this matter has caused you. Currently the part(s) eta is to be determined. " no dealer has extra parts and the part cant be found anywhere else. We are looking to get this resolved being that 3 months have now passed and there is no "eta" of the part being available for costumers. It is not something that should be happening to a loyal costumer that has purchased a vehicle without having the option to get parts (as per american Honda they are not out of stock and they are manufacturing but they are just not available for distibution). In cases like this parts should be available to be replaced in cases of an emergency, let alone a safety part like an airbag.
