Air Bag Problems of Honda HR-V - part 1

I have had a supplement restraint problem light on since I bought they vehicle. It was on and off intermittently for the past year or so, however now it will not go off. Upon inspection the wiring is damaged and there is not cover to the ground according to the Honda mechanic that looked at my vehicle. I have not had any service work done in the area where the srs box is located and they did not perform any further inspection on the system. Again, this was on when I bought my 2024 Honda Hr-v. The dealer was made aware and they advised me that it should be covered under warranty however nobody will fix the issue at this time. Please review and look into this issue as it has been noted in prior service bulletins for the srs system light to have issues.

When I turned my car on, the airbag system (srs) problem light was on. I was worried if it was an airbag problem, or sensor problem, so I brought the vehicle in for inspection at two locations. The first location was an independent service center, in which I was told it was a sensor problem. They weren't available to repair or needed an appointment to thoroughly check the problem. Therefore, I made an appointment for the next day at a Honda dealership. I thought that my vehicle may have been a part of the safety recall from the service bulletin 24-036. Upon inspection and a partial diagnosis (they didn't took apart my vehicle near the wheel or touch screen/audio for the sensor underneath), I was told I had a sensor problem under the front passenger seat with the code error u3000-49. However, I was told that my vehicle was not covered under the safety recall. I'm afraid of whether my airbags will be working properly if the sensor isn't working. There was no warning lights, symptoms of problems, or messages prior to the sensor light turning on.

I took my vehicle to a local Honda for an airbag light. Was told even though there is a recall on the 2022 hrv, my model is not included, but the exact issue I am experiencing with my vehicle is what is happened with the recalled 2022 hrv. I was told it would cost over $2000 to repair the air bag and since it has 60,000 miles it is no longer covered under the Honda warranty. Can this issue with the air bag be corrected or added to the recall for a free replacement/repair?.

On March 11, 2025 I took my car to gardena Honda for a fuel pump recall for my 2018 Honda Hr-v ex. On September 17, 2025 I had a system malfunction where the doors were locking and unlocking the dashboard went black and a car symbol with doors opened appear on the dash, the car shut off and I tried to brake but they did not work, I hit a car in front of me and when the airbags did not deploy I hit my mouth on the steering wheel and knock out 3 of 4 teeth that I had work done on. A scan tool was put on my vehicle when I got it home and there was two codes showing b00d5 occupant classification sensor fault and u0416 invalid data received from vehicle dynamic control module. I came to this website because I wanted to know was there any other recalls and found out there was 3 on the make model and year of my vehicle. # 135 vehicle brake system, low pressure fuel pump, and the fuel pump inside the fuel tank.

On September 17. 2025 I was at a red light on normandie avenue and exposition blvd the light turned green and as I was entering the intersection going southbound my doors on the vehicle started locking and un locking, my dashboard went black and the car shut off, the braking system malfunction, the airbag did not deploy, my knees hit the bottom part of the dashboard and my mouth hit the steering wheel knocking out several teeth. The dashboard only had an airbag code, a brake code and a vehicle with the doors opened on the screen. I had the car towed to my home and informed my insurance company of the incident, they referred me to a body shop who held my vehicle for 5 months after doing the body work, they labeled my vehicle unsafe to drive because the codes are still on the vehicle, not knowing that this body shop doesn't do electrical work. I reached out to Honda several times because they were the last ones to work on my vehicle for the fuel pump recall, but they noted vsa\abs for the last couple of weeks I finally talked with service manager marvin cabrera and he directed me to american Honda motors and after reaching out to them since the 3rd of February, they keep telling me about appointing an investigation inspection with the fts (field technical specialist) and I have not received any updates about my vehicle. These are the codes that came up while using the scan tool u0416 invalid data received from vehicle dynamics control module, b00d5 occupant classification system sensor fault, b0090 left frontal restraints sensor incorrect component installed.

I bought this car new in 2019. It was never in an accident. While driving normally, the car started throwing warnings saying the lane keep assist has a problem, the collision mitigatuon system hhas a peoblem, the auto high beams have a problem, the road departure system has a problem. I paid Honda in surprise az $210 for a diagnosis and they told me that it needs a new u3000-49 multipurpose camera unit will cost $1,730 to replace and install and possibky another $1,420 for a new srs unit. The car was never in an accident, and both of these should not be breaking after just 5 years of ownership. Clearly the multipurpose camera unit and also likely the srs are defective and should be recalled.

On [xxx] while driving on [xxx] , the driver’s airbag in my 2022 Honda Hr-v suddenly deployed without any impact or collision. This created a major safety hazard, obstructing vision and forcing the driver to pull over immediately. The seat belt tensioner also engaged, restricting movement. There were no warning lights, no forward collision warnings, and no external factors that could have caused deployment. A diagnostic inspection at larry hopkins Honda (sunnyvale, CA) confirmed that the vehicle’s supplemental restraint system (srs) recorded no impact prior to deployment. This exact issue aligns with Honda’s safety recall 24-036 (seat weight sensor defect) for the 2020-2022 Hr-v, yet my vehicle's VIN is not included in the recall. Despite multiple attempts to escalate with Honda corporate and the dealership, Honda has refused to acknowledge this as a defect or cover the repair. This is a critical safety failure that could have caused a serious accident or injury. I request NHTSA to investigate this issue, as other 2022 Hr-vs may also be at risk for random airbag deployment.

My car has been brought in for service multiple times due to airbag issues. After the initial repair resembling of the car panels was not done correctly forcing me to bring back the vehicle. After this on another occasional a strange rattling noise began to happen while driving the vehicle. This was scheduled for service but then the noise went away. After this another airbag issue came up saying the vehicle had to be taken to the dealer. The dealer was inititally saying the issue could not be duplicated and I could pick up the vehicle. At this point I looked up recalls and found the recall regarding steering and that noises could be attributed to this. I ask the recall be performed and was told it could not be. Another issue was however found with the airbags and repaired. I was told to get vehicle as it was fine. Since then the noise has occurred on 3 seperate occasions. Additionally while driving with lane control the vehicle has 2 twice left lane on highway forcing me to correct. I feel things are being dealt with in a very dishonest way by Honda of America and it is instructing dealers to avoid correctly diagnoising issues and falsling claiming it cannot be duplicated to avoid itself costly repairs.
