MY 2012 HONDA CIVIC IS HAVING PROBLEMS WITHE THE AIRGAGS. THE LIGHTS ARE COMING OUT SAYING THAT THEIRS A PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAGS. I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY RECALL FOR AIRBAGS BUT I WANA KNOW WHATS THE NEXT STEP TO DO.

THE FILM ON THE BACK WINDOW APPARENTLY HAS COME LOOSE. I CAN NO LONGER SEE OUT THE BACK WINDOW. WHICH APPEARS TO BE A SAFETY HAZZARD TO ME. THIS IS WHEN I AM DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON ANY STREET OR HIGHWAY.

TAKATA RECALL. I PURCHASED MY CAR IN 2015. SHORTLY AFTER THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WARNING WAS ON CONSTANTLY. ABOUT A YEAR AGO THE AIRBAG WARNING CAME ON FOR THE DRIVER SIDE AS WELL. (THIS IS THE DATE LISTED BELOW) MY CAR IS WARNING ME THAT I HAVE NO AIRBAGS. I'VE RECEIVED "RECALL NOTICES" IN THE MAIL AND HAVE CALLED HONDA A NUMBER OF TIMES CONCERNING THE RECALL. THEY SAID MY CAR IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. MY CAR SEEMS TO BE TELLING ME A DIFFERENT STORY. IT'S TOO COINCIDENTAL WHEN OTHER HONDA CIVICS ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND ARE PART OF A RECALL. PLEASE CHECK THIS OUT FOR ME. IF I EVER GET HURT IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO "FAULTY" AIRBAGS I (OR MY FAMILY) WILL NOT JUST BE WRITING AND CALLING HONDA ABOUT THIS. PLEASE LET ME KNOW. THANK YOU.

LAST YEAR, IN OUR STATE WE HAVE SOME SNOW AND WHEN I ON MY WAY TO WORK I FEEL EVERYTHING SHAKING STARTING FROM THE WHEEL. WHEN I CHECK UNDER THE CAR THERE WAS NOTHING BUT ICE UNDER THE CAR. AFTER SNOW CLEARS OUT MY STEERING WHEEL IS NOT RIGHT ANYMORE. IT KEPT PULLING TO THE SIDE WHILE I WAS DRIVING EVEN AT LOW SPEED. SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS.

WHILE DRIVING , OR ONCE I TURN THE CAR ON THE CHECK AIRBAG WORDS COMES UP ON THE DASHBOARD, IT COMES UP OUT OF THE BLUE. THIS ALSO HAPPENED TO THE LAST HONDA CIVIC I OWNED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG.

MY HONDA CIVIC 2012 IS HAVING EXACT SAME PROBLEM COVERED UNDER A "HONDA SERVICE BULLITIN 14-058". THE "CHECK POWER STEERING ALERT" APPEARS AT VARIOUS TIMES AND GOES OFF AT VARIOUS TIMES (WHILE NOT LOSING POWER STEERING ASSIST, SO FAR). HONDA DEALER SUGGESTS SERVICING WHEN CAR ACTUALLY LOSES STEERING POWER.

WHILE DRIVING, CAR RANDOMLY DISPLAYS CHECK EMISSION AND CHECK TRANSMISSION SYSTEM ERROR. WHEN I RESTART THE CAR, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES WHEN I PUT IT IN D POSITION. I TOOK THE CAR FOR REPAIR AND THEY SAY EVERYTHING IS NORMAL AND THEY DIDN'T FIND ANY ISSUES. I'M REALLY WORRIED ABOUT THE SAFETY IN MID-WAY AND ALSO THE ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION MIGHT GET EFFECTED.

CHECK AIRBAG SYSTEM LIGHT ON.

THE AIRBAG SIGN KEEPS POPPING ON WHEN I AM DRIVING. THEN I WILL HAVE TO HAVE MY CHILDREN LEAN TO THEIR LEFT AWAY FROM THE DOORS IN ORDER FOR THE AIRBAG SING TO GO OFF. AFTER A FEW MINUTES THE AIRBAG OFF SIGN WILL POP ON. THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY. THE SIGN WILL POP ON WHILE I'M AT A LIGHT, OR DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, CITY STREETS, OR TURNING.

MY CAR (MANUAL) WAS PARKED IN FIRST GEAR ON AN INCLINE IN MY JOBSITE PARKING LOT. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS NOT ENGAGED. WITHIN 1-2HRS IT ROLLED BACK NEARLY HITTING MY PLACE OF BUSINESS AND AN AC UNIT. IT IS ALL ON CAMERA. IT ROLLED SOME, THEN STOPPED, THEN AGAIN ROLLED AND STOPPED. IT HAS NEVER DONE THIS IN THE PAST BUT I TYPICALLY HAVE THE E-BRAKE ENGAGED. DAYS BEFORE, I WAS SITTING IN MY SAME VEHICLE AFTER IT WAS PARKED FOR SEVERAL MINUTES AND IT JERKED SUDDENLY. IT DID NOT ROLL BACK AT THIS TIME.

I AM EXPERIENCING VERY RAPID REAR BRAKE PAD WEAR ON MY CIVIC. IT IS A 2012 MODEL, AND IS DRIVEN QUITE NORMALLY AS A COMMUTER VEHICLE TO AND FROM WORK DAILY. IN 2015 AT ABOUT 60K MILES, THE REAR PADS WERE WORN TO 0%. I WAS SURPRISED, BUT REPLACED THEM THEN. JUST RECENTLY, AT ABOUT 80K MILES, I AM JUST HAD MY MECHANIC REPORT THEY'RE BACK DOWN TO ABOUT 10% LIFE AND NEEDING REPLACEMENT SOON. THIS IS UNNATURALLY FAST, IS EXPENSIVE, AND UNSAFE AS MECHANICS AND CONSUMERS ARE USED TO REAR BRAKES WEARING MUCH MORE SLOWLY THAN FRONT BRAKES. IN THE SAME PERIOD OF TIME, THE FRONT BRAKES ARE STILL THE ORIGINAL PADS, AND ARE SHOWING ABOUT 35% LIFE REMAINING - THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN REPLACED. I'VE READ AROUND ON FORUMS ONLINE, AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING PROBLEM FOR OTHER CIVIC OWNERS.

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.

NHTSA ODI 11096431

CAR IN FRONT OF ME SLAMMED ON BRAKES SUDDENLY AND I COLLIDED WITH THE REAR OF OTHER CAR IN A FORWARD MOTION. THE AIRBAG WAS DEPLOYED AND MY WRIST WAS BROKEN.THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED WITH SUCH FORCE THAT THE WINDSHIELD WAS SHATTERED. THE INSIDE OF THE CAR WAS SMOKEY FROM THE CHEMICALS OF THE AIRBAG, I HAD WHEEZING FOR 2 DAYS FOLLOWING ACCIDENT.

THE AIR BAG LIGHT TURN ON FOR NO REASON AND PASSAGES AIR BAG NEVER ACTIVATES. I TOOK MY CAR WITH A MECHANIC AND THE DIAGNOSTIC WAS THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT.

THE CAR RANDOMLY DISPLAYS A CHECK EMISSIONS SYSTEM AND CHECK TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS ERROR ON THE DASHBOARD WHILE DRIVING. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE "D" INDICATOR ON THE DISPLAY FLASHES. WHEN THE CHECK TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS ERROR DISPLAYS THE CAR DOES NOT SHIFT AS IT SHOULD. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION, AND NO ERROR CODES CAME UP ON HIS COMPUTER. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID A SOFTWARE UPDATE IS NEEDED. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT WEAR AND TEAR ON THE ENGINE AND/OR TRANSMISSION DUE TO THESE ISSUES.

I LEFT THE HOUSE TO PICK UP MY DAUGHTER FROM DAYCARE. LEFT THE HOUSE TO THE DAYCARE AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. WHEN I LEFT THE DAYCARE, STARTED THE CAR EVERYTHING WAS GOOD UNTIL I WENT TO TURN THE WHEEL TO GET ONTO THE MAIN ROAD AND I RECEIVED THE WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASH THAT SAID "CHECK POWER STEERING SYSTEM". NEEDLESS TO SAY, MY POWER STEERING WAS GONE. I BACKED UP, WITH TURNING THE WHEEL HARD, AND TURNED THE CAR OFF HOPING IT WAS FLUKE. TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND SAME ISSUE. SINCE I DON'T LIVE TOO FAR FROM THE DAYCARE, I DID DRIVE HOME WITH MY DAUGHTER IN THE CAR. PULLED IN DRIVEWAY AND TURNED CAR OFF AND ON A FEW TIMES AND STILL AN ISSUE. DROVE TO LOCAL MAINTENANCE SHOP TO INVESTIGATE- THEY DIDN'T GET TO IT UNTIL NEXT DAY.....NO ISSUES WHEN THEY STARTED THE CAR! APPEARS OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE. I MAY TAKE TO LOCAL HONDA DEALER FOR FURTHER DIAGNOSIS IF ISSUE PERSISTS, BUT I DON'T WANT POWER STEERING TO GO ON THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY WHEN HITTING 65 MILES / HOUR! BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR HONDA TO INVESTIGATE.
