NHTSA ODI 11173500

THE AIRBAG CHECK AIRBAG SYSTEM WARNING COMES ON PERIODICALLY I HAD IT REPAIRED AT A HONDA DEALER AND THREE WEEKS LATER IT CAME BACK ON BUT WENT AWAY. I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE IT COST ME A LOT OF MONEY TO REPAIR THIS THE HONDA DEALER SAID IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH AIRBAGS OR RECALLS. BUT HONESTLY THIS HAS EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD TO DO WITH THE SRS SYSTEM AND SHOULD BE SOMETHING COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER.

TAKATA RECALL POSSIBILITY? MY AIRBAG SENSOR HAS BEEN ON FOR MONTHS. THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL, YET I'VE READ TONS OF THE SAME COMPLAINT ON THE SAME VEHICLE. IT SAYS "CHECK AIRBAG SYSTEM" IMMEDIATELY AFTER STARTING THE CAR. I DON'T KNOW HOW THERE'S NOT BEEN A RECALL YET WHEN THE AIRBAG THING IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND THERE ARE A LOT OF THESE COMPLAINTS OUT THERE. PLEASE ADVISE.

ALSO WASN'T ABLE TO SELECT THE STEERING, THE SPEED CONTROL BRAKES AND THE WHEELS/TIRES. THE CAR HAS COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING GOING 60 ON THE HIGHWAY. SINCE I'VE GOT THIS CAR IT'S BEEN A HUGE PAIN AND HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP NEARLY THE ENTIRE TIME I'VE HAD IT. I'M CURRENTLY MAKING MONTHLY PAYMENTS ON IT AND HAVE HAD THE CAR SINCE 2017 AND HAVE PUT OVER $9,000 WORTH OF WORK INTO IT.. IT FINALLY HAS STOPPED WORKING AGAIN I'VE BEEN WITHOUT A CAR FOR OVER A YEAR BECAUSE I CAN'T CONTINUE TO DUMP MONEY INTO IT. THE ABS LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE HAVE BEEN ON SINCE I'VE GOT IT AND THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT HAS ALWAYS BEEN ON SINCE I'VE GOT IT THE AIRBAG LIGHT BLINKS WHILE DRIVING RANDOMLY AND THE ELECTRICAL HAS WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING AS WELL ALL THE LIGHTS AND RADIO WOULD COMPLETELY GO OUT WHILE DRIVING DURING THE DAY THIS HAPPENED THANK GOD BECAUSE HAD IT HAPPENED AT NIGHT I WOULDN'T OF BEEN ABLE TO SEE THE ROAD. THE CAR HAS HAD THE BATTERY REPLACED MANY TIMES AND THE TIRES CONSTANTLY LOOSE THREADING AND FEELS LIKE THE CAR STEERING IS SHAKING WHILE DRIVING. THE CHILD SAFETY RESTRAINT LIGHTS BLINK AS WELL RANDOMLY AS WELL WITH THE AIRBAG LIGHTS. MY STERLING WHEEL HAS COMPLETELY LOCKED UP WHILE DRIVING UNABLE TO MOVE IT AT ALL. THIS CAR HAS COST ME LOADS OF MONEY AND PUT ME IN SUCH A BAD PLACE FINANCIALLY I WISH I NEVER GOT IT.

WHEN DRIVING OR PARKED THE "CHECK PASSENGER AIRBAG SYSTEM" ALERT WILL POP UP ON THE DISPLAY. IT WILL TURN ON RANDOMLY AND THEN TURNS BACK OFF. I HAVE HAD HONDA RUN A DIAGNOSTIC ALREADY AND NOTHING WAS FOUND, BUT IT HAS CONTINUED TO OCCUR FOR TWO YEARS

I AM UNSURE IF THIS IS PART OF THE TAKATA RECALL, HOWEVER USING MY VEHICLE'S HORN FOR THE FIRST TIME TODAY, WHILE IN MOTION, SINCE PURCHASING LESS THAN 30 DAYS AGO, MY "CHECK AIRBAG SYSTEM" SENSOR LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH THE DISPLAY MESSAGE. I PARKED AND TURNED THE CAR OFF FOR ABOUT 10 MINS. WARNING MESSAGE WAS GONE BUT AS I PROCEEDED TO DRIVE, THE LIGHT AND MESSAGE RETURNED. UNFORTUNATELY, I BOUGHT THE CAR AT A THIRD PARTY DEALER NOT HONDA AND THEY ARE NOT ASSUMING ANY RESPONSIBILITY OR AT LEAST TRY TO HELP FIX MY ISSUE. THIS IS SUCH A SAFETY HAZARD, ESPECIALLY IN SUCH AUTOMOBILE.

NHTSA ODI 11142547

PURCHASED HONDA CERTIFIED USED CIVIC IN 9/2016, CHECK AIRBAG SYSTEM LIGHT STARTED COMING ON RANDOMLY AROUND 2/2017 WHILE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND DRIVING. LIGHT WOULD COME ON MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY, OR SOMETIMES ONLY ONCE EVERY FEW WEEKS. HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO TWO DIFFERENT HONDA DEALERS (INCLUDING THE ONE IT WAS PURCHASED FROM) MULTIPLE TIMES AND DEALER IS UNABLE TO SOLVE ISSUE. CHARGING SYSTEM SENSOR AND CABLE REEL HAVE BOTH BEEN REPLACED, BUT LIGHT CONTINUES TO RANDOMLY COME ON. DEALER IS DENYING ANY RESPONSIBILITY AND CONTINUES TO USE THEIR 'COMPUTER FLOW CHART' TO TRY AND DIAGNOSE WITH NO SUCCESS. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND HONDA NEEDS TO ISSUE RECALL AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. MULTIPLE REPORTS HAVE BEEN FILED!

NHTSA ODI 11115429

THE 'CHECK AIRBAG' LIGHT COMES ON ALL THE TIME WHEN I SEAT OR WHILE DRIVING. WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR THE PAINT WAS BUBBLY AND HAD RUST SPOTS.

AIR BAG SYSTEM CHECK CAME ON WHILE DRIVING 35MPH AND IT TURNED OFF ONCE CAR WAS PARKED AND TURNED OFF. HAS NOT COME ON SINCE. PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF LIGHT DOES NOT LIGHT UP WHEN THERE IS NO ONE IN PASSENGER SEAT. HONDA DEALER RAN TEST. PASSENGER WAS FINE BUT SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH DRIVER SIDE (IRONICALLY). I ASKED IF RECALL WAS ON FOR MY CAR, IT IS NOT. APPARENTLY I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS SAFETY ISSUE AND I DON'T WANT TO PAY $111 FOR JUST A SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS TEST THEN ANOTHER $300+ TO GET A REPLACEMENT ON A SAFETY ISSUE THAT I DIDN'T CAUSE. PLEASE HELP!! I DO HAVE RECORDS OF THE SERVICE ON 6/4/2018

WHILE CAR IS IN MOTION CHECK AIR BAG SENSOR WILL GO OFF. SENSOR WILL STAY ON UNTIL IGNITION IS TURNED OFF AND CAR IS IN PARK. THE SENSOR WILL PERIODICALLY TURN ON AND OFF OVER THE LAST 8MONTHS. WHEN CONTACTING HONDA DEALER ABOUT THE CHECK AIRBAG SENSOR THEY STATED IT NOT RELATED TO THE RECALL. I DISAGREE IF MY SENSOR ARE READING CHECK AIRBAGS SOMETHING MUST BE GOING ON.

TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE BEEN THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF MY 2013 CIVIC COUPE, AND HAVE LOVED IT SINCE. HOWEVER, WITHIN THE PAST MONTH, CHECK AIRBAG SYSTEM LIGHT HAS COME ON, FIRST TIME DURING THE MIDDLE OF ME DRIVING GOING STRAIGHT FORWARD AND STAYED ON UNTIL I TURNED THE CAR OFF. IT CONTINUED TO COME ON WHILE DRIVING, AND EVENTUALLY STARTED COMING ON WHEN I FIRST STARTED THE CAR, STATIONARY. IT DOES NOT COME ON EVERY SINGLE TIME, BUT COMES ON VERY VERY FREQUENTLY. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AND THEY NEED TO RECALL THE PROBLEM. I CALLED TO SEE HOW MUCH HONDA WOULD CHARGE TO FIX IT, AND THEY SAID $140 JUST TO DIAGNOSE, AND MULTIPLE REPORTS OF THE PARTS COSTING UP TO $1300 TO REPAIR. THIS IS RIDICULOUS FOR SOMEONE TO HAVE TO PAY THIS AMOUNT FOR A CAR AND A COMPANY THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE ONE OF THE MOST RELIABLE AND TRUSTED BRANDS ON THE MARKET. THE REASON I CHOSE A HONDA CIVIC WAS BECAUSE OF THE LOW RATE OF PROBLEMS, AND THIS IS THE HUGEST PROBLEM THAT CAN OCCUR, A LIFE THREATENING PROBLEM, VERY DISAPPOINTED. THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE REPORTS OF PEOPLE GETTING IN CRASHES AND THE AIRBAG NOT GOING OFF, HUGE SAFETY CONCERN, AND LIFE THREATENING, EVEN IF THE LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON. THIS SHOULD BE A MAJOR RED FLAG TO ANYONE WHO OWNS A 2013 HONDA CIVIC IF THE LIGHT HAS COME ON OR NOT!! ATLEAST 4 PEOPLE HAVE DIED FROM 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA AND 2013 KIA FORTE TAKATA AIRBAG PROBLEMS REPORTED EARLIER THIS WEEK. THIS SHOULD BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY IMMEDIATELY BY HONDA AND NHTSA AND LOOKED INTO ASAP. PLEASE SHARE THIS INFORMATION IF YOU HAVE A SIMILAR PROBLEM, KNOW SOMEONE WITH A HONDA CIVIC, OR HAS OCCURRED TO SOMEONE YOU KNOW. BY WRITING COMPLAINTS ON HERE, AND CONTACTING HONDA, WE CAN HELP RAISE AWARENESS TO THE NHTSA AND HONDA TO ISSUE A RECALL, SO NO MORE PEOPLE HAVE TO STRESS, WORRY, OR BE IN A LIFE THREATENING SITUATION FROM THE AIRBAG SYSTEM!!!!
