SINCE THE FIRST WEEK I BOUGHT MY HONDA DASH SCREEN READ THAT "PASSANGER AIRBAG IS OFF". I NOTIFIED THE WORKERS AT THE HONDA SERVICE DEPARTMENT SEVERAL TIMES WHEN I WOULD GET IT SERVICED. THEY STATED THAT IT WASN'T ANYTHING TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT, SOMETIMES THAT HAPPENS. IT DOESN'T SHOW UP ALL THE TIME BUT EVERY NOW AND THEN IT'LL POP UP. I HOPE I WON'T EVER HAVE TO FIND OUT IF IT IS PROPERLY WORKING IN A CAR INCIDENT BUT IT IS A CONCERN OF MINE IF IT WERE TO HAPPEN THAT THE AIRBAG WOULD NOT WORK. WHEN IT DOES OCCUR IT OCCURS WHEN I'M DRIVING.

TAKATA RECALL

NHTSA ODI 11054387

TAKATA RECALL - MY PASSENGER AIRBAG ALWAYS TURNS OFF AND GIVES ME AN ERROR OF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG "OFF" INDICATOR... WHETHER AN ADULT OR TEEN OVER 65 LBS IS SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND I DIDN'T HAVE MONEY TO CHECK THIS ISSUE OUT WITH HONDA. THEY ALWAYS DO SOMETHING CRAZY TO MY CAR AND BREAK SOMETHING. AFRAID I'LL HAVE TO PAY MORE MONEY TO GET SOMETHING CHECKED OUT AND I'LL HAVE TO PAY MORE MONEY. THIS LIGHT GOES ON SEVERAL TIMES SO I CANNOT GIVE A SPECIFIC DATE. I REMEMBER IT OCCURRING ON THANKSGIVING DAY 2017 AND IT'S OCCURRED IN DECEMBER 2017.

TAKATA RECALL BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW FEB 16TH 2012 FROM DAY BOUGHT UP TO MARCH 23 2012 THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON. ON 3-23-2012 I HAD TO SLAM ON MY BRAKES THE LIGHT THEN WENT OUT. REPORTED TO HONDA THEY DID NOTHING. MY 31 YR OLD DAUGHTER IS 5FT 2IN IN HEIGHT & WEIGHTS 105 ALL SUITABLE REQUIREMENTS FOR BEING IN FRONT SEAT. EVERY TIME SHE IS IN MY CAR THE AIRBAG LIGHT GOES ON & OFF WHILE SHE IS SITTING STILL & IN WHAT IS CONSIDERED A SAFE POSITION . ALSO REPORTED IT TO HONDA WITH NO CONCERN FROM THEM. FROM DAY ONE I FELT THE AIRBAG HAD A PROBLEM. I HAVE ALSO HAD THINGS IN FRONT SEAT THAT SHOULD HAVE TURNED OFF AIRBAG, BUT THE AIRBAG WILL TURN ON & OFF IT SHOULD BE OFF. I CAN BE DRIVING IN THE CITY OR ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE LIGHT GOES ON & OFF. I AT THIS TIME HAVEN'T RECEIVED A RECALL, BUT LEARNED HONDA IS BEING SUITED FOR FAULTY AIRBAGS. THANK YOU [XXX]. I REALLY LOVE MY CIVIC. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'*JB
