37 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 07/01/2016

Takata recall - after multiple attempts to have the dealer from whom the vehicle was purchased replace the airbag, we've been repeatedly told "they'll let us know when they are available". Given the time which has passed since the recall was announced, this is no longer an acceptable response. We need your assistance with Honda to have the safety repairs related to the air bag performed.

42 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 09/02/2015

I took the vehicle to the dealership for a recall related to the steering mechanism that is making a loud cracking noise when I turn the steering wheel, when I back up. Were told that parts were not available, it is been almost one year ago. No respond from dealership or Honda itself. My name is jose chavez.

43 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 09/04/2014

Prior to purchase, the recall and possible problem existed. I was led to believe that the problem was corrected. If it was in fact corrected, shouldn't my vehicle not be on the recall list or was it just repaired on paper, in order to conclude the sale. Shouldn't they have notified NHTSA, if they had in fact made the repairs?.

44 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 08/12/2014

The contact owns a 2011 Honda Pilot. The contact stated that when the passenger entered the vehicle and shut the door, the air bag deployed inadvertently and struck the passenger on the head and arm. The failure caused all three of the child passengers and the driver to endure head and ear aches from the loud noise of the air bag deployment. There was no medical attention required. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing and the mechanic stated that he had never experienced the failure; therefore, the vehicle had to be diagnosed by a district manager in order to confirm that the vehicle was not involved in a crash. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 61,100.

45 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 04/15/2011

Shortly after purchasing the 2011 Honda Pilot my wife complained of eyes and throat irritation when traveling in the car for a half hour or longer. There is no odor. I did not seem to be sensitive to these symptoms at this time. We took it to the dealer to be checked and they found no leaks, engine/heater/air conditioning. Problem continued year round with both the heater in operation and/or the air conditioning. Over the months and years my wife continued to complain and subsequent visits to the dealer resulted in checks for leaks (none found) and replacements of cabin filter but no results. My wife continued to tolerate by turning of vents and opening her window over the past few months the problem has markedly worsened and it bothers me now as well as my four grand children who are frequent passengers. Eyes, nose, throat and lips feel a burning sensation plus headaches. Took it back to the dealer yesterday with the same result. They found no leaks, replaced cabin filter, 15 mile test ride with manager and he said he did not notice our symptoms ($170). I talked with 2 other Honda dealers afterwards and they claim to know of no such problem but are willing to troubleshoot to try to find out what the problem is (at my expense). My internet search of the last 12 hours indicates that our symptom are totally consistent with the exposure to the exposure to chemicals used in the air bags, namely the highly toxic sodium azide and potassium nitrate. Could they be releasing gas? any one else have this problem? if so, have you found the source and fixed it?.
