2006 HONDA ACCORD Air Bags Problems

The vehicle was taken to two Honda dealerships apon noticing the D light blinking on the dashboard after reaching highway speeds. Also started getting worse overtime, currently when starting up, and putting into drive, nothing happens, and after a few seconds it will plurge forward into gear on its own. Down shifting when braking is rough and delayed also. Ive addressed this issue with Honda, and they just look my vin number and tell me there is no recall and id have to pay $200 out of pocket simply to run a diagnostic, when I know this should be covered under their recall as all symptoms are matching their current recalls for this vehicle. Also accomanied sometimes with a check engine light indicating the O2 Sensor connected to the catalater converter is having a delayed reaction. Also the airbag red light is always steady illuminated. This vehicle has never been in a crash and is very well maintained and Id like to keep it that way by addressing this issues accordingly in a timely manner. Thank you, Kindly.

While driving down street, both curtain airbags deployed sporadically with absolutely no cause. I was not hit anywhere and I was not even using my brakes or slowing to a stop. My head got smashed in and my view was completely obstructed. I was able to pull off road to safety.

I was ran off the road by another driver on March 8, 2024. I honked so that they would know I was there and then swerved as they continued to come towards me. As this happened, I lost control of my vehicle and it fishtailed on the highway, doing a complete 180° and going from 70 mph to 0 mph as I crashed into a concrete barrier on the shoulder of the road. The airbags did not deploy. My car will likely be totaled and because of its age, we will not keep it. It will not be available for inspection. My safety was put as risk because my airbags did not deploy. Thankfully, in this instance, I was not harmed but I could’ve been. The problem was not confirmed by the dealer. The vehicle was inspected by police and is currently undergoing inspection by insurance. There were no warning signs of this failure.

UNKNOWN

The contact owns a 2006 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the air bag warning light was illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V501000 (Air Bags) but the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 85,000.

The left passenger seatbelt will not retract - supposed to be a lifetime warranty and as a result airbag indicator light is on, so I take it to the dealer and they tell me seatbelts are on back order and they said it could be months or even years before I get a seatbelt and there is no ETA for it to arrive. So now, I have to drive the vehicle with no seatbelt and non-working airbags risking tickets or worse loss of life. This is unacceptable. What is the point of a lifetime warranty .

The 2006 Honda Accord VP Sedan was hit in an intersection by a Van that was trying to speed through a red light. The van hit the Accord on the front of the car, which spun the Accord causing it to hit the van again in the rear passenger side. The Accord has 6 airbags, but none of them went off. It appears that the front airbags should have went off, and possibly the passenger side airbags. I contacted Honda about the issue, but they insisted that I follow the direction that the insurance company determined.

Brought my 2006 Honda Accord at Scott Robinson Honda Service Center and was told I would have pay for the airbags..

The passenger air bag indicator light stays illuminated. The car has been taken to several different mechanics who temporarily are able to make the light go away but that say that this is an issue they have seen with different 2006 Honda Accords and the it is a defective factory sensor. Tony Honda in Oahu HI has said that because they do not show a recall for this vehicle, it would be an out of pocket cost. It seems that this is a safety issue because it is unsure whether there is a problem with the airbag itself and not just the sensor. Please advise

The contact owned a 2006 Honda Accord. The contact stated that her son was driving approximately 65 MPH. The contact's son lost control and rolled the vehicle. The contact's son was knocked unconscious due to the vehicle had rolled about 10 times, according to the police report. The police reported that the air bags failed to deploy. The son was transported by ambulance to the ER. The son had suffered a concussion and had multiple small lacerations on both arms and face. The contact's son had suffered severe bruising on his chest, legs, and arms from the effects of rolling the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to an impound lot and declared a total loss by the contact's insurance provider. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 236,000.

While exiting a grocery store parking lot the honda accord 2006 air bags malfunctioned and deployed. The honda accord 2006 'did not' strike a vehicle, a vehicle 'did not' strike the honda accord 2006, the honda accord 2006 'did not' strike any object in the parking lot, no object in the parking lot caused any friction with the honda accord 2006 to make the air bags deploy. After reviewing the damages which occurred from the deployment of the air bags; the driver's air bag is hanging out, the passenger's air bag is hanging out, the dome lights have been knocked down from the ceiling, the wind shield has 4 cracks in it. At this time myself and the passenger are noticing a ringing in our ears. I myself have a tiny split in my lower lip. When the incident took place an individual came to the honda accord 2006 to ask if things were ok. The individual states, "I heard a pop!! So I came to check things out." Today is 4/3/2022, the incident took place around 3pm. With today being sunday honda is closed. No call was able to be made to ask questions or file a report.

MALFUNCTIONING PARTS

I FILED A RECALL CLAIM WITH AMERICAN HONDA. THE CASE NUMBER IS 11536174. THIS WAS FOR A RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS. ALSO, THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION STALLS AND DECELERATES WHEN GETTING ABOVE 25 RPM. AMERICAN HONDA SAID THIS ISSUE WAS A RECALL BUT APPEARED TO BE "FIXED" A FEW YEARS AGO. BUT SINCE THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM, I WAS ASSURED IT WOULD BE FIXED. JASON, AT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME IT WOULD BE "TAKEN CARE OF" BUT THEN, TRIED TO BILL ME $150 FOR "DIAGNOSTIC" FEES PLUS THEN TOLD THE PARTS AND LABOR WOULD BE AN ADDITIONAL $800.WE WERE GIVEN A RENTAL CAR. ABOUT AN HOUR AN 20 MINUTES AFTER DROPPING OFF THE CAR, WE WERE CALLED TO SAY THE CAR WAS READY. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WAS DONE. THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT WAS STILL LOCKED. THEY WOULD HAVE HAD TO UNLOCK IT TO MAKE THE AIRBAG REPAIR. AMERICAN HONDA TOLD ME THE ENTIRE CANISTER IN THE AIR BAG AREA HAD TO BE REPLACED AS WELL AS NEW AIR BAGS INSTALLED. MISLTIN HONDA SCREWED US! THEY ALSO SAID THESE 2 REPAIRS WOULD TAKE 6 HOURS. THEY FRAUDULENLY BILLED AMERICAN HONDA FOR 6 HOURS AND DID NOTHING! THEY WERE INSTRUCTED TO PROVIDE PROOF OF THE OLD PARTS TO SHOW ANYTHING WAS DONE! MY CAR REMAINS UNSAFE TO DRIVE, POTENTIALLY CAUSING THE AIRBAGS TO NOT DEPLOY AND THE TRANSMISSION TO STALL, CAUSING A CRASH! I'D LIKE MY SERVICE TO BE TAKEN CARE OF BY HONDA IN MANTECA, PLEASE. MISSION ALSO BILLED AMERICAN HONDA FOR OUR RENTAL. THERE WAS ALSO A RECALL ON SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE GAS PEDAL..A PART OR COMPUTER ISSUE.

I HAVE HAD THE AIRBAGS CHECKED AND REPLACED AT BRANDON HONDA AND I GOT AN AIRBAG LIGHT THAT WON'T GO OFF AND AM WORRIED ABOUT MAYBE SIDE AIRBAG PROBLEMS AND WON'T GET A CALL BACK FROM BRANDON HONDA IN BIRMINGHAM ALABAMA TO GET IT CHECKED OUT OR REPAIRED THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN OPERATION. *TR

SHE WASN'T ABLE TO PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL DETAILS INTO THE PROCESS, NOR DID SHE HAVE ANOTHER NUMBER FOR ME TO CALL.

MY WIFE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT FELT A BLAST ON HER CHEST. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG NEVER WENT OFF. I FELT A BLAST AS WELL AND LUCKILY NOTHING HIT MY FACE. SMOKE FILLED THE CABIN. WE OPENED THE WINDOWS AND GOT OUT FAST. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BUT IT WAS PITCH BLACK WHERE WE WERE. WE WAITED ABOUT 15 MINUTES BEFORE DECIDING WE SHOULD TRY TO DRIVE HOME...SINCE WE WERE CLOSE TO HOME, I DROVE HOME. I CALLED MY INSURANCE COMPANY TO PUT IN A CLAIM BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. I HAD PREVIOUSLY WENT TO MY HONDA DEALERSHIP TWICE TO GET THE AIRBAGS FIXED. I WENT ON MAY 7 2015 AND OCTOBER 13 2015. I WANTED THIS NOTED IN CASE. WE WERE SCARED. I NEVER EXPECTED THIS AIRBAG TO GO OFF FOR NO REASON B/C I HAD GONE IN TWICE FOR RECALLS.

THEY SAID THEY WILL LET ME KNOW ONCE THEY HAVE THE PARTS. AFTER A COUPLE OF MONTHS I CALLED AGAIN AND THEY SAID THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS. THEY SAID I CAN FILE A COMPLAINT. THE DEALER I CONTACTED : GOUDY HONDA, 1400 W MAIN ST, ALHAMBRA, CA 91801

WHILE WAITING TO HAVE OUR AIRBAG RECALL DONE THE SSR LIGHT CONTINUED TO GO OFF AND ON . WE THOUGHT IT WAS DUE TO THE AIRBAG RECALL ON THE VEHICLE . AFTER THE RECALL WAS DONE , THE SSR LIGHT CONTINUE TO STAY ON . THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT HONDA SAID IT WAS THE AIRBAG SENSOR IN THE SEAT THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. IT WOULD COST $290.00 TO FIX THIS. I INVESTIGATED ONLINE AND FOUND MANY ISSUES WITH THE AIRBAG SENSOR THAT DID HAVE RECALLS ON THEM. THE 2006 HONDA ACCORD WAS NOT LISTED FOR A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE BUT, FOUND MANY CUSTOMERS WITH COMPLAINTS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. ON NHTSA REPORTS THEY HAD A ARTICLE STATING HONDA RECALLS 81,000.00 ACCORDS OVER AIRBAG SENSOR. THEY WERE RECALLING 2004-05 ACCORD SEDANS. THEY NEED TO EXTEND THIS TO 2006 VEHICLES.

AFTER A 3 MONTH WAIT BACK IN 2014, MY DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG WAS FINALLY REPLACED ON 1/12/15 BY CORAL SPRINGS AUTOMALL HONDA'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT. A MONTH AGO I GET ANOTHER RECALL NOTICE ON THE AIRBAG AND SORT OF SKIM OVER IT THINKING I JUST GOT IT REPLACED. I WAS JUST DOUBLE CHECKING THAT ALL SAFETY RECALLS HAD BEEN DONE ON THE CAR WHEN I REALIZED THAT THIS LAST RECALL WAS FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. THE DEALER SHIP ONLY REPLACED THE INFLATOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW MANY PEOPLE ALSO ARE IN THE SAME BOAT NOT REALIZING HONDA DID NOT BOTHER REPLACING BOTH FRONT SIDE AIR BAGS AND SEEING THIS SECOND NOTICE THAT IT WAS ALREADY FIXED. THERE ARE MANY AVENUES TO ADDRESS THIS AND WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE NHTSA MAKE A NEWS RELEASE ADDRESSING THIS VERY ISSUE FOR ALL CAR OWNERS - SPECIFICALLY THAT BOTH AIRBAGS NEED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT IF YOU PREVIOUSLY TOOK YOUR CAR IN, DEALERSHIPS DID NOT BOTHER TO REPLACE BOTH.

I WAS DRIVING OUT OF MY NEIGHBOOD IN A 25 MPH ZONE AND HIT A MAIL TRUCK ON THE WRONG SIDE IF THE ROAD. I HIT THE MAIL TRUCK AFTER TURNING A CORNER, AS I TURNED THE CORNER, A SPIDER CRAWLED FROM THE CEILING OF MY CAR AND I TRIED TO SWAT IT AWAY AND DIDN'T SEE THE MAIL TRUCK. THE IMPACT CAUSED THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY BUT THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAG WAS DELAYED, IT DID NOT HAPPENED IMMEDIATELY BUT A FEW SECONDS AFTER THE IMPACT CAUSING BAD BURNS AND BLISTERS TO MY HAND. I DID NOT SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION BUT DOCTORED ON MY HAND MYSELF; IT TOOK MONTHS BEFORE THE APPEARANCE IF MY HAND WOULD LOOK NORMAL. I HAVE PICTURES. THE REPAIR SHOP, TOW TRUCK AND POLICE OFFICER COULD NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED IN THE FIRST PLACE WITH SUCH LOW SPEED. IT TOOK MONTHS TO GET MY CAR REPAIRED, LONGER THAN NORMAL.

DEAR SIR OR MADAM, THE AIR BAGS (DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE) DEPLOYED ON MY 2006 HONDA ACCORD AT LESS THAN 10MPH WITH MY SEAT BELTS ON RESULTING IN SCRATCHES ON MY LEFT FRONT BUMPER (NO OTHER VISIBLE HARD IMPACT DAMAGE). THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED WHILE PERFORMING A SLOW TURN INTO A PARKING LOT SPOT.

HONDA USA ASKED ME TO TAKE CAR TO LOCAL HONDA DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND EVALUATION. I BROUGHT MY CAR AT HONDA DEALER BUT THEY SAID THEY WERE NOT EQUIPPED WITH SKILL AND TOOLS TO INSPECT AND EVALUATE AND STATED THAT I SHOULD GO TO A THIRD PARTY COLLISION SHOP. I CONTACTED HONDA USA AGAIN AND THEY ASKED ME TO GO TO MY INSURANCE COMPANY TO DETERMINE IF A DEFECT IS PRESENT. I BELIEVE THOSE ARE UNACCEPTABLE AND SURPRISING SUGGESTIONS. IT IS MY BELIEVE THAT HONDA HAS A MAJOR DEFECT IN THE AIR BAG SENSOR AND DOES NOT WISH TO INVESTIGATE AND/OR ACKNOWLEDGE CULPABILITY IN A DEFECTIVE SAFETY COMPONENT.

SINCE IT WAS -12F OUTSIDE, I FIGURED THERE WAS SOME SORT OF MECHANICAL FAILURE AND HONDA WOULD COVER IT. I CALLED HONDA OF LISLE, IL AND THEY ASKED THAT I BRING IT IN FOR DIAGNOSTICS. I DROPPED THE CAR OFF THURSDAY MORNING AND LATER THEY CALLED AND SAID THEY FOUND SCRAPES UNDER THE CAR AND THAT THE COMPUTER RETURNED SRS CODES THAT INDICATED A COLLISION TOOK PLACE. I TOLD THEM THAT THERE HAVE ONLY BEEN TWO INCIDENTS WITH THE CAR, NEITHER OF WHICH REQUIRED ANY BODY WORK. WE RAN OVER A VERY DEEP POTHOLE IN 2006, WHICH REQUIRED THE RIM TO BE REPLACED. IN 2007 (OR POSSIBLY 08), I FELL INTO THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE QUARTER PANEL WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ROLLER BLADE FOR THE FIRST TIME AND DENTED IT. BECAUSE THE SCRAPES THAT HE DESCRIBED SEEM TO HAVE BEEN IN THE EXACT SAME AREA AS WHERE WE HIT THE POTHOLE, I FIGURED THEY MUST HAVE COME FROM THAT. THEY TOLD ME THEIR ZONE MANAGER FROM HONDA AMERICA NEEDED TO INVESTIGATE THE ISSUE FURTHER AND WOULD BE IN THE NEXT DAY (FRIDAY) AND THAT THEY WOULD CONTACT ME WITH THE RESULTS. ON FRIDAY, I SPOKE TO MY SERVICE ADVISOR AND HE INFORMED ME THAT THE ZONE MANAGER DENIED MY CLAIM DUE TO HIS BELIEF THAT A COLLISION HAD TAKEN PLACE AND BECAUSE MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. ON MONDAY, 2/3/2013, I CALLED HONDA OF LISLE AGAIN AND SPOKE WITH THE GENERAL SERVICE MANAGER, [XXX] . AFTER EXPLAINING MY SITUATION TO HIM, HE SAID THERE IS NOTHING HE CAN DO AND THAT COVERING THE EXPENSE IS UP TO THE DISCRETION OF THE ZONE MANAGER. I THEN CALLED HONDA CORPORATE, ONLY AGAIN TO BE DENIED, GIVEN THE SAME REASON. I AM NOW STUCK WITH A CAR WITH DEPLOYED AIRBAGS THAT ARE GOING TO COST OVER $2,000 TO REPAIR.

I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE, BUT NOTHING HAPPENED AND THE CAR CONTINUED TO SPEED UP IN REVERSE- WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE - HEADING TOWARDS A VAN WITH A BABY IN IT IN A CAR SEAT. I QUICKLY PUT THE CAR IN FORWARD, AND WITH MY FOOT STILL ON THE BRAKE, THE CAR FLEW ACROSS THE PARKING LOT OF THE GAS STATION, CROSSED TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC, CRASHED INTO THE WOODS. I STEERED AWAY FROM A TELEPHONE POLE I WAS DEFINITELY GOING TO HIT AND, WHEN I WENT INTO THE WOODS THE AIR BAG WENT OFF AND COVERED MY FACE. I THEN WENT BACK ACROSS TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC AGAIN, WITH THE AIRBAG OVER MY FACE, AND CRASHED INTO THE CURB IN FRONT OF THE HESS STATION WHEN I REPORTED THE ACCIDENT TO MY INSURANCE COMPANY, THE HARTFORD, I ASKED THEM TO CHECK OUT THE SPEED SENSOR- . MY INSURANCE COMPANY SAID THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO CHECK OUT THE SPEED SENSOR. I THEN CALLED HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND TOLD THEM OF THE INCIDENT. THEY INFORMED ME THAT, UNLESS THEY RECEIVED A REQUEST FROM THE HARTFORD, THEY WOULD NOT CHECK OUT THE SPEED SENSOR. I THEN CALLED THE HARTFORD AND REQUESTED THAT THEY CALL HONDA TO HAVE THE CAR INSPECTED BY HONDA THEMSELVES.

THE DOG WAS OF MEDIUM TO LARGE SIZE APPROXIMATELY 60-70 LBS AND CAUSED CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT BUMPER. I THEN LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR, WENT OF THE ROAD , AND THE VEHICLE ROLLED AT LEAST 3 TIMES. THE VEHICLE SUSTAINED A GREAT AMOUNT OF DAMAGE TO THE FRONT BUMPER AS WELL AS TO THE ENTIRE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR, YET NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. I WAS TOLD BY MY HONDA DEALERSHIP THAT "THE SENSORS FOR THE AIRBAGS WERE VERY SMALL AND MUST BE HIT DIRECTLY IN ORDER FOR THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY, SO THE SENSORS MUST NOT HAVE BEEN HIT JUST RIGHT , AND THERE WAS PROBABLY NO REASON TO BE CONCERNED. HOWEVER, ANYONE WHO SAW THE DAMAGE TO MY CAR, INCLUDING STATE TROOPERS, EMS, TOW TRUCK DRIVERS, AS WELL AS FAMILY AND FRIENDS, ALL STATED THAT THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED IN THIS INSTANCE. I DID NOT FIND THAT THESE AIRBAGS TO BE VERY BENEFICIAL IF WHAT THE PERSON AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP SAID WAS TRUE. BOTH MY PASSENGER AND I SUFFERED WHIPLASH, BACK AND NECK STRAIN, AND MILD CONCUSSIONS, THANKFULLY THAT WAS ALL. HOWEVER I COULD NOT HELP BUT WONDER IF THE AIRBAGS WOULD HAVE SAVED US FROM THE INJURIES WE DID SUSTAIN. THE CAR WAS TOTALED BY INSURANCE COMPANY . THEREFORE, NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN DONE. I AM DEBATING WHETHER TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH HONDA REGARDING A POSSIBLE DEFECT IN AIRBAG SENSORS.*AK
