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.

I WAS DRIVING AND MY POWER STEERING LOCKED UP AND WOULD NOT LET ME USE THE STEERING WHEEL. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND THE LIGHT WENT OFF AND THE POWER STEERING RETURNED FOR A COUPLE MINUTES ONLY TO TURN OFF AND NOT ALLOW THE STEERING WHEEL TO WORK ANY LONGER

I PURCHASED A USED 2013 CIVIC SEDAN FROM A PRIVATE SELLER ON MARCH 23RD 2018. THE DAY I BOUGHT IT, AS I WAS PULLING OUT OF THE PARKING LOT OF THE CREDIT UNION WHERE I MET THE SELLER THE POWER STEERING FAILED. A YELLOW WARNING LIGHT THAT LOOKS LIKE A STEERING WHEEL WITH AN EXCLAMATION POINT CAME ON ON THE DASH, AND IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER THE VEHICLE. I PUT IT IN PARK, HIT THE HAZARDS AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF FOR FEAR OF HITTING SOMEONE. I CONTACTED THE SELLERS AND THEY CAME BACK. WE DISCUSSED HAVING IT TOWED TO THE SHOP, AND THE PREVIOUS OWNER GOT IN IT, TO RE-PARK IT SOMEWHERE MORE OUT OF THE WAY WHILE WE WAITED FOR AAA. AT THIS TIME, THE CAR STARTED UP FINE, NO WARNING LIGHT WAS PRESENT AND HE WAS ABLE TO SAFELY DRIVE IT INTO A PARKING SPOT. HE SUGGESTED THAT HE JUST DRIVE IT TO THE SHOP, AND I RIDE OVER THERE WITH HIS WIFE. SO WE DID, AND THEY HOOKED IT UP TO THE COMPUTER AT THE SHOP, AND INFORMED ME THAT IT DIDN'T THROW ANY CODES, AND THAT "THE COMPUTER DOESN'T LIE" THEY TOLD ME THAT SINCE IT DROVE OVER THERE FINE, TO JUST TAKE IT HOME, AND DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. SO I DID, AND I DROVE IT AROUND FOR A COUPLE WEEKS UNTIL ON THE 5TH OF APRIL, AGAIN PULLING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE IT HAPPENED AGAIN, YELLOW STEERING WHEEL LIGHT AND ALL. EXCEPT THIS TIME THE BRAKES FAILED TOO. NOT ONLY COULD I NOT STEER, I COULD NOT STOP. I ENDED UP DRAGGING THE FRONT END OVER A FLOWERBED WITH A CURB, AND RIPPING OFF THE BUMPER. THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND IS NOW AT A HONDA DEALERSHIP AWAITING REPAIRS PENDING PROCESSING OF WARRANTY PAPERWORK. THANKFULLY NOBODY WAS HURT IN EITHER OF THESE INCIDENTS, BUT IT COULD'VE EASILY BEEN DIFFERENT. THESE POWER STEERING FAILURES ARE KNOW TO, AND WERE INVESTIGATED BY THE NHTSA IN 2013. NO RECALL WAS ISSUED. I KNOW THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER PEOPLE. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND A RECALL SHOULD BE RECONSIDERED.

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!!!!
