Front Driver Side Air Bag Inflator Problems of Honda Pilot

I was notified by american Honda that my vehicle required a safety recall of the takata Honda passenger airbag inflator (recall # 19-076). Upon inspection the Honda technician found that "one of the securing studs for the assembly is broken and replacement of the dashboard frame is required. " at this point my "free" recall came with a charge of $820. American Honda was only willing to pay 10%. The vehicle was previously recalled in 2015 for the same problem. In all likelihood the securing stud was broken during that service. American Honda refuses to acknowledge the most likely scenario and instead has decided to hold me personally responsible for the repair.

Takata inflators: after hitting a roadside object at a county road turning into a community, the steering wheel airbag was deployed. That can be accepted, but the airbag was not inflated. I bursted, not blowed out simply with the bag itself without air. After talking to Honda, they repeat that the inflation process come and go quickly. I know that it come and go quickly. But I also know that it was not inflated at all. As a scientist and engineer who knows how to do experiments, who knows what can be a human bias, who knows the speed of human reactions, the only thing I can say is that I was sure and am sure, the bag was not inflated enough. I cannot tell how much it was inflated, my impression was that it was inflated somewhere between 5-10 percent of the total capacity. The vehicle was virtually stopped when the airbag was deployed. The bag did not touch any part of my body besides my right arm. My body did not move forward at all as the speed of at hitting was not high enough to move my back away from the seat. The airbag did nothing but burning my right arm, causing a second degree burn. Note that, the airbag was serviced because the recall. In other words, it is not the original airbag which was recalled, it is the new one. The problem is either caused by the product itself or by installation. In any cases, it is a defected product that does nothing when deployed but harm.

"takata recall" airbag light came on, Honda replaced the passenger front airbag inflator, and the light came back on they reset the codes the light went off for 1 day. Honda then did a diagnostic test which showed the driver side airbag failed. Honda said due to age of Pilot they could not replace it under recall. Airbag light still is on which doesn't allow the other airbags to deploy. Honda told us the cost would be $638. 18. Due to safety factor I feel Honda should replace the airbag free of charge due to the safety factor of the riders in the vehicle because right now we are not protected.

I attempted to contact the local Honda dealer to schedule the repair for the inflator on the front passenger airbag. The letter from Honda said that a passenger should not be seated in the front passenger seat of the Pilot. The Honda dealer told us no parts are available and to check back in 3-4 months. So, I have to find a different way to transport my family for 3-4 months until maybe some parts are available?? I find this unreasonable.

Takata inflators. Received letter about recall in July 2016. Waiting to get inflators replaced. Went to dealer stated when parts come in. Will be notified by superior Honda.

Takata inflators.

Late in 2015 I received a mailing from wilde Honda, waukesha, WI an "urgent/recall notice" concerning my 2004 Honda Pilot regarding a potentially defective airbag inflator. I contacted the dealer listed and scheduled an appointment. I dropped my car off on 12/28/15 to have this repair performed. . The reason for the appointment was this airbag service. . . I on the receipt provided it shows that they had performed the air bag inflator service. In early February of 2016 I received another mailing informing me to have this airbag service performed. I called the dealership. The original service advisor said that the repair on the air bag recall had not been performed at the earlier service appointment. He did not know why, and admitted it was a mistake. I eventually talked to the service manager. He offered to repair the car if it was brought back. My concerns in this case , it might be a common one with this deanship. They never contacted me regarding this issue. I contacted them in Feb 16 to follow up on another recall notice. Two months after the supposed airbag repair. They have my cell number and mailing address and cannot provide any proof they ever tried to contact me. I have a phone log and show no incoming calls from them it seems that they were only concerned with this specific issue when Honda would not reimburse them for this warranty repair because they used the incorrect part to make the repair! the dealers actions have placed the safety of my family risk. Their only offer to fix this air bag service mistake is to bring the car back for service. If this was not a recall item that was involved, I doubt I would have heard back from them. I would be driving an potentially unsafe car, thinking the issue had been addressed. This dealership misrepresents the truth, is sloppy in record keeping, and uses incorrect parts for a recall service.

Takata recall - my VIN # is showing 0 recalls, however, I have had to go in twice for a recall on my vehicle. Why is your website recording 0 recalls? I was in a four car accident in 2016 (I believe, may have been late 2015) and my airbags did not deploy. There was 1 car in front that didn't get hit bad, but the two vehicles behind me had their airbags deployed. I have the same Honda Pilot today, but it worries me that they should have deployed but didn't due to the issue with the inflators. This vehicle accident I had was prior to this inflator recall. I was driving in traffic on the highway and was moving, but very slowly.

2003 Honda Pilot. Consumer writes in regards to parts not available to complete airbag inflator recall notice.

Thank you NHTSA safecar. Gov for your ?recalls look-up by VIN? feature it may have saved my life during March 2015 purchase of a Honda Pilot 2007. My complaint addresses how american Honda and an independent dealer may be the tip of a growing "recall safety issue. " first, parts for a fatality recall since September 2014 are on back-order and; the dealer?s customer-service representive treated the issue as a "used car" buyer?s problem. The dealer?s service representative stated: well,the recall has been going on since October 2014! as noted above, I did not purchase the vehicle until March 2015. I had no knowledge of the recall until I read a recent article in consumer reports. In addition, american Honda?s customer-service representatives "ultimely" support the dealers position not the consumer. In closing, "used car consumers beware" and; realize independent auto dealers and american Honda have no responsibility to inform you of recalls or address additional concerns you may have regarding your newly purchased "used vehicle. " this excerpt is from NHTSA for Honda Pilot 2007; "consequence: in the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the driver side frontal air bag, the inflator could rupture with metal fragments striking and potentially seriously injuring the vehicle occupants. Owners of vehicles in florida, puerto rico, hawaii, alabama, louisiana, georgia, south carolina, texas, and the u. S. Virgin islands, were notified on or about September 2014. ".

It was a three car accident. My car was in the middle waiting behind another car for a pedestrian crossing the road. Honda odyssey coming from behind in the other lane, changed the lane and rear-ended my car at ~15 mph. My car hit the front car. Airbags deployed in the car that rear-ended me with substantial engine damage. Driver in my car along with passenger in front passenger seat got a vertical lift with seatbelt constraints holding them in place. My car's airbags did not deploy, which is my primary concern at this point. I have received a safety recall notice from Honda Pilot about drivers front airbag inflator replacement. Is there an issue with the airbags deployment too in the current generation of Honda Pilot? I have this incident noted down with american Honda motor company and they have told me that there is no issue. I want to log in this complaint here, to make sure that we are not ignoring or missing on another recall at the cost of getting humans injured. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Recall subject: passenger side air bag inflator may rupture. Report receipt date: June 20, 2014 NHTSA campaign number: 14v353000 component(s): air bags all products associated with this recall: Honda Pilot 2003-2005 my 2005 Honda Pilot has not been recalled. It was originally sold and is currently registered in virginia. Given that takata has admitted to u. S. Safety regulators that it improperly stored chemicals and failed in the manufacture of the propellants used in the airbag inflator along with faulty record keeping as to which cars were defective, I am driving a car that has been shown to have the potential to have degraded inflators causing them to explode and spraying pieces of metal into the cabin of the car. Recall subject: driver side air bag inflator may rupture. Report receipt date: June 20, 2014 NHTSA campaign number: 14v351000 component(s): air bags all products associated with this recall: Honda Pilot 2003-2007 my 2005 Honda Pilot has not been recalled. The driver side air bag information is similarly situated to the passenger side air bag information. I have attempted to remedy this death and/or dismemberment hazard by contacting Honda directly with no success. My original window sticker, as found on the car window when purchased, indicates "parts content information" "japan 10%". The concealment and non-disclosure of serious safety defects and failure to fix the problems is not merely an inconvenience for me but a serious health threat.

2003 Honda Pilot. Consumer writes in regards to recall concerning defective airbag inflators.

Recall # jf7 passenger airbag inflator (for 2003 - 2007 Honda Pilots sold in high absolute humidity states) my vehicle was sold new in February 2003 in myrtle beach, an ocean-front city in south carolina, one of the states refered to in the above recall as having high absolute humidity. The vehicle remained titled in coastal south carolina from February 2003 until March 2007, a period of four years. Because the vehicle spent the first four years of its existence in an area of high absolute humidity, I am concerned about the present and future functionality of both driver and passenger airbag inflators. Please add my vehicle to the recall list for replacement of both airbag inflators. Thank you.

Takata recall, american Honda motor company never sent to me any notification of a national recall of or injury, death or damage by the takata airbag defective inflators. No notices were ever sent to me, and no telephone calls of anykind to warn me.

I was involved in head and side impact at highway speed and airbags were not deployed, as they should. As a result my wife received nick and back injuries. Had the airbags deployed as they should injuries would have been less severe if any.
