The car set on fire causing by airbags explosion and electrical issues and I got myself burned trying to stop the fire

The SRS light came on and stayed red indicating defective airbags.

I read and article about the advisory made by the Honda and the U.S. Government to "do not drive" for the 2001 through 2003 vehicles with Takata inflators that have a high possibility of exploiting and hurling shrapnel in a crash.

The recall is on my airbags

PROBLEMS WITH THE ELECTRICAL PART OF THE IGNITION, CAUSING MY CAR TO CUT OFF, OR IT LEAVES ME AND MY KIDS STRANDED!!! EVEN THE SRS LIGHT IS ON, AND WHEN I LOOKED UP THE RECALL INFORMATION, THERES RECALLS ON BOTH AND THE DEALERSHIP IS DECLINING TO SERVICE MY VEHICLE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFTEY ISSUE, I CANT AFFORD TO PUT MY KIDS LIFE IN JEOPARDY, NOR CAN I AFFORD ANOTHER CAR RIGHT NOW. PLEASE HELP ME !!!

I'M NOT EVEN SURE IF THIS IS THE RIGHT CHANNEL BUT HERE GOES... I'VE CALLED TO GET MY RECALL FIXED AND NOBODY EVER WANTS TO CALL ME BACK TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT EVEN. I TRIED THE NUMBER WHERE YOU TEXT THE RECALL COORDINATORS? BUT THEY REPLIED THE NEXT DAY AND ONLY WAITED 10 MINS. POHANKA HONDA OF SALISBURY DOESN'T SEEM TO WANT TO SCHEDULE THIS RECALL. I TRIED WITH THEM A FEW YEARS AGO BUT AGAIN NO RESPONSE. WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO GET THE COMMON COURTESY OF A CALLBACK OR SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS MAKING AN APPOINTMENT? THIS IS WHY I QUIT ATTEMPTING TO GET THIS RECALL FIXED SOME YEARS AGO, BECAUSE IT WAS NEVER A PRIORITY APPARENTLY. NOW THAT I'M ATTEMPTING TO SELL THE VEHICLE I HAVE TO CONTINUE TO BE IGNORED BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT POHANKA, SO THAT I CAN MOVE ON. I'M VERY DISPLEASED WITH BEING PLACATED ABOUT "PARTS AVAILABILITY" OR "JUST WAIT FOR A CALL BACK" WHEN WAITING FOR A COURTEOUS REPLY IS ALL I NEED. BOTTOM LINE: I CAN'T GET MY AIRBAG RECALL DONE AT POHANKA HONDA OF SALISBURY IF THEY WON'T EVER REACH BACK OUT TO ME. I ATTEMPTED A FOLLOWUP QUESTION TOADAY AND WAS GIVEN A RUNAROUND PHONE NUMBER. WHY WOULD I GIVE YOU ALL OF MY VIN AND RECALL NUMBERS AND THEN HEAR NOTHING AGAIN? I'M EXTRAORDINARILY UPSET ABOUT BEING RELEGATED TO THE BACK OF THE LIST EVERY TIME. I STRONGLY FEEL THAT NOBODY I'VE SPOKEN TO GIVES A [XXX] ABOUT GETTING THIS DONE BECAUSE I'M THE ONLY ONE TRYING TO MAKE IT HAPPEN. HOPING THIS ACTUALLY MERITS A RESPONSE BECAUSE I'M ABOUT TO WASH MY HANDS OF THIS WHOLE RECALL DUE TO THE ABYSMAL HANDLING OF SUCH A SIMPLE TASK. THEN IT CAN BE A SAFETY ISSUE FOR THE NEW OWNER BECAUSE THESE DEALERS DON'T REALLY WANT TO DO ANY "FREE" WORK IT SEEMS. DISAPPOINTED, UPSET AND WOULD RATHER DRIVE A DEATHTRAP THAN DEAL WITH ANY OF THESE USELESS REPRESENTATIVES.

NOT INVOLVED IN ANY ACCIDENT. BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED AND TITLE WAS SALVAGED. PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS WERE DEPLOYED PRIOR TO PURCHASE. I TOOK THE CAR INTO HOBDA TO SEE ABOUT THIS RECALL AND WANTED THEM TO REOLACE THE AIRBAGS. THEY DID JOT DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEY WERE DEPLOYED ALREADY.

MY CAR HAS BEEN REPEATEDLY RECALL OVER RECENT YEARS. NOW I HAVE RECEIVED ANOTHER RECALL TO REPAIR THE SAME UNIT THAT RECALLED AND REPAIRED BARELY A MONTH AGO. HONDA IS ENDANGERING ITS CUSTOMERS WITH REPEATED FAILED RECALLS AND SHOULD BE SANCTIONED SEVERELY.

TAKATA RECALL. MY 2001 HONDA CIVIC HAS BEEN SITTING MY MY DRIVE FOR ABOUT A MONTH AND IS NOT BEING USED AS MY PRIMARY VEHICLE. YESTERDAY THE CAR SEEMED FINE; WINDOWS CLEAR, NO SMELL, ETC. HOWEVER, WHEN RETURNING TODAY THE CAR HAD THE SMELL OF BURNT PLASTIC WHICH WAS OVERPOWERING AND WENT TO SEE WHY IT SMELLED AND THEN NOTICED THAT THE WINDOWS WERE COVERED IN SOOT. THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WAS OPENED AND THE SMELL WAS 100% STRONGER AND YOU COULD SEE THAT THE PLASTIC ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DASH WAS BURNT AND MELTING RIGHT AROUND WHERE THE AIRBAG; I WILL SEND PICTURES. IT LOOKED LIKE THE DASH HAD MELTED FROM THE INSIDE OUT AND BESIDES THE CAR COVERED IN SOOT THE DAMAGE IS LOCATED SPECIFICALLY ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AROUND THE AIRBAG AND GLOVE COMPARTMENT. IN WORKING TO COMPLETE THIS REPORT I NOTICED HOW IT ASKS HOW MANY MILES ARE ON THE CAR, BUT THE ONLY WAY TO SEE THE NUMBER OF MILES IS BY TURNING THE CAR ON.

I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP ON 3/23/15, WHICH I BOOKED ONLINE. I WAS ABLE TO BOOK MY RECALL SERVICE FOR THE AIRBAG INFLATER ONLINE AS WELL, WHICH NO ISSUES. I WAS ASKED WHEN I BROUGHT IN THE CAR IF I HAD CALLED TO ORDER PARTS, I HAD NOT AS THERE WAS NO INDICATION WHEN I BOOKED THAT I NEEDED TO DO SO. I WAS SIMPLY TOLD PARTS WOULD BE ORDERED FOR ME AND THEY WOULD LET ME KNOW WHEN THEY WERE IN. AFTER TWO WEEKS I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO INQUIRE ON MY ORDERED PARTS, I WAS TOLD PARTS CAN TAKE "2 TO 3 DAYS OR ONE TO TWO MONTHS" TO GET IN DUE TO A BACKLOG. I CONTACTED HONDA VIA SOCIAL MEDIA AND WAS TOLD THAT SOMEONE WOULD BE IN TOUCH WITH ME. TWO WEEKS LATER I STILL HAVE YET TO RECEIVE PARTS, HEAR FROM MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP OR HEAR FROM ANYONE IN HONDA'S CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT. MY INITIAL RECALL NOTICE INDICATES THIS IS A POTENTIALLY LIFE-THREATENING, DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED, AND YET DESPITE MY BEST EFFORTS I AM STILL STUCK WITH FAULTY PARTS AND NO TIMELINE FOR REPAIRS. A TWO MONTH WAIT FOR PARTS IN A DANGEROUS RECALL IS IRRESPONSIBLE AND POTENTIALLY LEAVES ME LIABLE IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT INVOLVING THESE PARTS AS I HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED OF THEIR DANGER BUT OTHERWISE UNABLE TO REPLACE THEM. *TR

WE ARE FILING A VEHICLE SAFETY COMPLAINT AGAINST AMERICAN HONDA COMPANY/TAKATA FOR THEIR DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS IN THE 2001 HONDA CIVIC CAR. WE MADE CONTACT WITH AMERICAN HONDA COMPANY LAST YEAR ABOUT THE SEVERE INJURIES THAT THE DEPLOYED AIRBAG CAUSED TO MY WIFE AND THEY ARE NOT TAKING ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. ON 11/14/2013, A NEGLIGENT DRIVER CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT THAT PUT MY WIFE'S LIFE IN GRAVE DANGER. MY WIFE WAS WEARING HER SEAT BELT AND AIRBAGS WERE DEPLOYED. MY WIFE IMMEDIATELY FELT PAIN IN HER ENTIRE BODY AND COULDN'T MOVE. POLICE AND PARAMEDICS WERE CALLED AND SHE WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL FOR TREATMENT. UPON MEDICAL EXAMINATION IT WAS DETERMINED THAT SHE HAD A THORACIC BURST FRACTURE AT T12 AND A T11 COMPRESSION FRACTURE, FRACTURE TO R LAMINA AND PARS OF T12 AS WELL. SHE HAD A RIB FRACTURE AND PULMONARY CONTUSION. THESE WERE LIFE-THREATENING INJURIES. SHE NEEDED TO HAVE IMMEDIATE SPINAL FUSION SURGERY FOR THE T10-L2 AREA OF HER SPINE. WE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH AMERICAN HONDA COMPANY AND PROVIDED DOCUMENTS THROUGH FAXES AND EMAIL AND EACH TIME THEY SAID THEY DID NOT RECEIVE OUR DOCUMENTS. THEY CONSISTENTLY SAID THEY DID NOT RECEIVE OUR DOCUMENTS, ALTHOUGH WE HAVE FAX CONFIRMATION AND EMAIL SHOWING THAT DOCUMENTS WERE SENT SUCCESSFULLY TO AMERICAN HONDA. THEN ON 1/21/2015 MARION COOLEY FROM AMERICAN HONDA COMPANY CALLED AND SAID THEY CANNOT PROVIDE MY WIFE WITH COMPENSATION FOR HER MEDICAL INJURIES. IT DIDN'T SEEM LIKE AMERICAN HONDA COMPANY DID ANY INVESTIGATION AND THEY WERE NOT WILLING TO ACCOMMODATE US. MY WIFE HAS TO LIVE WITH PERMANENT LIMITATIONS DUE TO THE SPINAL INJURIES FROM THAT ACCIDENT FOR THE REST OF HER LIFE. MY WIFE CAN NO LONGER CONDUCT HERSELF AS THE SAME PERSON BEFORE THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED. AMERICAN HONDA COMPANY/TAKATA NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE INJURIES THAT THE AIRBAG CAUSED....UPDATED 02-03-15 *BF

THE SRS LIGHT HAS BEEN ON IN MY VEHICLE FOR SOME TIME. I TOOK IN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER (METRO HONDA, JERSEY CITY, NJ) FOR THE AIRBAG INFLATOR RECALL, BUT AFTER I LEFT, THE LIGHT WAS STILL ON. ON MY NEXT VISIT I INQUIRED ABOUT THIS, AND THE DEALER TOLD ME I NEED A NEW SRS SYSTEM, AT A COST OF $730+ AND THAT HONDA WILL NOT COVER THE COST. AND, UNTIL I FIX THE SRS SYSTEM, THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY. I CALLED HONDA ON NOVEMBER 10, 2014, AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS OUT OF POCKET AS THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL ISSUED. SO, NOW I AM DRIVING AROUND IN A VEHICLE WITH AIRBAGS THAT WILL NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. *TR

MY MOTHER WAS STOPPED AND WAITING TO MAKE A LEFT-HANDED TURN INTO HER NEIGHBORHOOD WHEN SHE WAS REAR ENDED AND SENT INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. HER AIRBAG DEPLOYED AND SHE SURVIVED LONG ENOUGH TO TALK TO MY DAD AND TELL HIM SHE HAD PAIN IN HER CHEST.

THE HONDA THE INFLATOR IN THE AIRBAGS HAD BEEN RECALLED. MY FIRST ATTEMPT TO TAKE MY CAR IN FOR THE RECALL ON 6/2/2014 AND WAS TOLD THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PART. THIS HONDA IS NOT NEAR TO MY HOME AND I ONLY WENT THERE BECAUSE THEY WOULD TAKE CARE OF THE CAR THE SAME DAY. I THEN CALLED THE 800 NUMBER TO ENSURE THAT I COULD BE SEEN AT THE YONKERS HONDA AND THAT THE CAR COULD BE DONE THE SAME DAY SINCE THIS SITE HAD TOLD ME THAT OTHERS WOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF FIRST REGARDLESS WEATHER I GOT THERE FIRST OR NOT. I GOT AN APPOINTMENT FROM THE 800 NUMBER THIS MONDAY JUNE 9, 2014 AND AFTER AN HOUR OF WAITING I WAS TOLD THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PART. I ONCE AGAIN CONTACTED THE 800 NUMBER ANGRY THAT I HAD TO WAIT AN ENTIRE WEEK THE PERSON AT THE 800 NUMBER SAID SORRY MISCOMMUNICATION. AT THIS TIME THE AIRBAG LIGHTS ARE ON AND THE HONDA IN YONKERS TOLD ME NO NOT SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE RECALL. MY CAR WAS JUST INSPECTED AND THE LIGHT CAME ON A FEW DAYS LATER. MY CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN A CAR ACCIDENT AND HAS 38,000 MILES. I'M ITS ORIGINAL OWNER. THERE ARE NO OTHER PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR. I BELIEVE HONDA IS TAKING A SHORT CUTS KNOWING THAT THE AIR BAGS MAY HAVE TO BE COMPLETELY REPLACED. THE HONDA DEALER SAID THAT THEY DO NOT TAKE CARE OF THE LIGHT I'M REALLY DISTRESSED THAT THE AIRBAGS ARE REALLY DEFECTIVE ALTOGETHER AND EVEN IF THE INFLATOR IS REPLACED THAT THE AIRBAGS WILL IN SOME WAY CAUSE INJURY TO ME OR SOMEONE IN MY FAMILY. I SPOKE THE HONDA 800 REPRESENTATIVE AND WAS HIGHLY DISMISSED LIKE JUST THE INFLATOR . COULD YOU PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS. I BELIEVE HONDA IS DECEPTIVE IN ORDER TO SAVE MONEY AND I NOW A HAD A REALLY HARD TIME GETTING AN APPT. I HAVE TO RETURN HONDA'S CALL BECAUSE THEY SUPPOSEDLY MAY HAVE GOTTEN THE PART, WHAT ABOUT THE LIGHTS. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY EXTRA AS A CONSUMER ON AIRBAGS THAT HAVE HAD A RECALL FOR SOME DEFECTIVE PART. *TR

I RECEIVED A NOTICE IN 2010 REGARDING AN AIRBAG SAFETY RECALL FOR MY CAR. I CALLED A LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP ON JUNE 25, 2010 TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. HOWEVER, I WAS NEVER CALLED BACK. I WAS TOLD THAT THE PARTS WOULD BE ORDERED AND IT WOULD TAKE 1-2 DAYS TO RECEIVE AND ONCE THE PARTS WERE RECEIVED, I WOULD BE CONTACTED TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT THEN. I NEVER RECEIVED THE CALL AGAIN AND I ASSUMED IT MAY HAVE TAKEN LONGER FOR THE PARTS TO BE RECEIVED SO I HAD WAITED LONGER. I RECEIVED THE SAME RECALL NOTICE AGAIN THIS YEAR AND SUDDENLY REMEMBERED THAT I HAD TRIED TO SCHEDULE THE APPOINTMENT SINCE LAST YEAR. IT HAS OBVIOUSLY BEEN MORE THAN 60 DAYS SINCE I HAD FIRST CONTACTED THE DEALER FOR AN APPOINTMENT.

MY 2001 HONDA CIVIC WAS PART OF A RECALL DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH THE SRS. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND I WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR WAS ALSO UNDER RECALL DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH THE SWITCH FOR THE LIGHTS. THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE LOW-BEAMS. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR BOTH TO BE FIXED. WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR IN, I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL FOR THE LIGHTSWITCH, ALTHOUGH THE RECALL CONTAINED THE MAKE AND MODEL YEAR OF MY CAR. I AM DISAPPOINTED THAT THIS WASN'T FIXED AS PART OF THE RECALL BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE SWITCH, GOING SO FAR AS TO PURCHASE TWO SETS OF HEADLIGHTS IN THE TWO YEARS I HAVE OWNED THE CAR, AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IF IT OCCURRED IN OTHER CARS MADE THE SAME YEAR AS MINE, WHY WOULDN'T HONDA FIX IT KNOWING IT HAS BEEN A PROBLEM. MY VIN APPARENTLY WAS A FEW NUMBERS OFF. I WOULD THINK THAT IF I'M HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, HONDA WOULD FIX MY SWITCH EVEN THOUGH IT ISN'T WITHIN THE RECALLED VIN RANGE. MY SECOND COMPLAINT IS THAT AFTER HAVING REPLACED THE RECALLED PART, THE SRS INDICATOR LIGHT IS STILL ON. THIS DEALERSHIP ALLOWED ME TO DRIVE AWAY IN MY UNSAFE CAR, WHICH WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION DUE TO THE SAFETY ISSUE. THE FINAL ISSUE IS THAT I WAS PROMISED THE CAR AT 1 O'CLOCK, AND I DIDN'T GET A CALL THAT IT WAS FINISHED UNTIL ALMOST 2 O'CLOCK, AND AT THAT TIME I HAD TO SCRAMBLE TO FIND SOMEONE AT THE VERY LAST MINUTE TO PICK UP MY CHILD FROM SCHOOL. I WILL OWN THIS CAR IN ANOTHER SIX MONTHS, AND I WAS SINCERELY HOPING TO TRADE IT IN FOR A NEWER MODEL HONDA. I AM NOT SURE I'LL DO THAT NOW. *TR

MY MOTHER IS A VICTIM OF SUDDEN ACCELERATION INCIDENT FROM A HONDA CIVIC 2001. SHE WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON A SMALL STREET AND HAD PLACED IT IN PARK. THEN, SHE PLACED THE GEAR BACK INTO DRIVE AND BEFORE TAPPING THE GAS PEDAL THE CAR SURGED FORWARD IN HIGH ACCELERATION AND WENT OUT OF CONTROL. SHE APPLIED THE BRAKES A FEW TIMES BUT IT FAILED TO STOP THE CAR. THE STEERING WAS ALSO OUT OF CONTROL AND THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE ABOUT 30-40 MPH FOR AN ENTIRE BLOCK AND FINALLY, CRASHED INTO A TREE TOTALING THE VEHICLE. SHE WAS TAKEN AWAY BY AMBULANCE. AS A RESULT OF THE CRASH, SHE SUFFERED FROM A BROKEN ANKLE AND HEEL, DEEP GASH TO THE KNEE, SEVERE CHEST PAIN (FROM AIRBAG) AND HEART CONTUSION. SHE SPENT OVER A WEEK IN THE HOSPITAL AND IS STILL IN THE PROCESS OF RECOVERING. *TR

SRS LIGHT CAME ON IN JULY 2010, I TOOK IT IN TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC TO TAKE A LOOK. THE COMPUTER CODE SAID IT WAS A FAULTY SEATBELT BUCKLE ASSEMBLY SO THEY ORDERED THE PART AND REPLACED IT. A FEW WEEKS LATER THE SRS LIGHT CAME BACK ON. I TOOK IT BACK TO MY MECHANIC AND THEY SAID IT WAS LIKELY THE WHOLE SRS UNIT THAT IS BAD BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT GET THE COMPUTER CODE TO CLEAR. THE MECHANIC SUGGESTED I TAKE IT TO THE HONDA DEALER TO GET IT FIXED SINCE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I TOOK IT TO A HONDA DEALER BUT WAS TOLD IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, REGARDLESS OF THE ISSUE. I CONTACTED HONDA AMERICA CORP AND THEY EXPLAINED THAT ONLY THE SEATBELTS ARE COVERED UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THAT THE SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM IS NOT COVERED, AS IT IS AN ADDITIONAL SAFETY FEATURE. I HAVE NO WORKING AIRBAGS NOW AND HONDA WILL NOT FIX THIS, DESPITE THERE BEING RECALLS FOR THE SAME ISSUE ON OTHER 2001 CIVICS

I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR THE AIR BAG RECALL AND NOW THEY ARE SAYING THE SRS LIGHT IS ON BECAUSE OF A DEFECT IN THE SEAT BELT BUCKLE ($200)- BUT WHY WOULD THAT MAKE MY HORN STOP WORKING? THERE ARE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS AND THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AS THIS IS INCREDIBLY UNSAFE AND OBVIOUSLY WIDESPREAD!!! HONDA ALSO NEEDS TO RECALL THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. I HAD FOUGHT THEM AND THEY PAID FOR HALF OF THE REPAIR COSTS WHEN MY TRANSMISSION DANGEROUSLY AND QUICKLY WENT OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC DURING RUSH HOUR ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO. THESE ARE MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES!! UNFORTUNATELY I CANNOT AFFORD THE REPAIRS BUT I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THE CAR WITH THE SRS LIGHT ON.

I WAS DRIVING IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON JULY 14, 2009. GOING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, I REAR-ENDED A VEHICLE THAT WAS STOPPED FOR A LIGHT. THE FRONT OF MY HONDA SMASHED IN, THE WINDSHIELD WAS SMASHED, AND THE FRONT END AND COMPARTMENT COMPRESSED TO THE POINT THAT, DESPITE THE FACT THAT I WAS WEARING MY SEATBELT, THE STEERING WHEEL JAMMED INTO MY CHEST WITH GREAT FORCE. THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG INFLATED, BUT THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG DID NOT. MY CAR WAS TOTALED AND NOT REPAIRABLE. I WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL BY AMBULANCE WITH SEVERE CHEST CONTUSIONS, AND WAS OUT OF WORK FOR 2 WEEKS IN A GREAT DEAL OF PAIN. FOR MONTHS, I SUFFERED WITH LARGE HEMATOMAS ON MY BREASTS, SEVERE BRUISING, AND INTENSE PAIN. TO THIS DAY, MY BREASTS ARE DEFORMED AND LUMPY FROM MONTHS OF HEMATOMAS, AND MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT I WILL HAVE ISSUES WITH THIS FOR MANY YEARS, IF NOT FOREVER. I HAVE PHOTOGRAPHS OF BOTH MY INJURIES AND THE VEHICLE. *TR

THIS IN REGARDS TO HONDA'S SAFETY ADVISORY RECALL, 2001-2002 ACCORD/CIVIC DRIVER'S AIRBAG INFLATER (SB 08-093). I BROUGHT MY CAR TO HONDA WEST, 7615 WEST SAHARA AVENUE, LAS VEGAS, NV 89117. I SHOWED TWO SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES AND THE SERVICE MANAGER THE LETTER THAT I RECEIVED FROM HONDA REGARDING THE RECALL. THEY TOLD ME THAT I WOULD NEED TO LEAVE MY CAR THERE FOR TWO DAYS SO THEY CAN ORDER THE PARTS. THAT WAS NOT AN OPTION BECAUSE I WORK AND NEED TRANSPORTATION TO GET TO WORK. I SUGGESTED TO ALL OF THE REPRESENTATIVES AND MANAGER TO ORDER THE PARTS, CALL ME WHEN THE PARTS ARE IN, AND I COULD BRING MY CAR BACK IN FOR THE RECALL. THEY DID NOT WANT TO DO THAT BECAUSE IT WAS AN INCONVENIENCE FOR THEM AND INSISTED I LEAVE MY CAR FOR THE TWO DAYS. TO ME IT SOUNDED LIKE THEY DID NOT WANT TO WORK ON IT BECAUSE IT WAS A FREE REPAIR. I AM VERY UNCOMFORTABLE BRINGING MY CAR BACK FOR THIS REPAIR. HOW CAN I BE CONFIDENT THAT THEY WILL FIX THIS ISSUE WITHOUT BREAKING SOMETHING ELSE AND CHARGING ME. I WOULD TAKE MY CAR ELSEWHERE, BUT THIS IS THE ONLY OPTION IN LAS VEGAS. PLEASE ADVISE. *TR

AMERICAN HONDA WAS REQUIRED TO NOTIFY CAR OWNERS OF A RECALL FOR DRIVER'S AIRBAGS TO AFFECTED CIVIC OWNERS. I AM ONE OF THOSE OWNERS AND NEVER RECEIVED NOTIFICATION.

NOT ONLY DID I NOT RECEIVE MY RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL, THE COPY OF THE LETTER IN MY HONDA OWNER LINK IS A PDF DOCUMENT THAT HAS SECURITY OPTIONS THAT WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO COPY ANY PORTION OF THE LETTER TO A WORD DOCUMENT OR PRINT THE LETTER AT HOME SO I CAN TAKE IT TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP. IN ADDITION, I NOTICE FROM DOCUMENTS RELATED TO THE RECALL ON THIS WEBSITE THAT HONDA NOTIFIED NHTSA THAT APPROX 440,000 VEHICLES MAY BE AFFECTED, BUT THE COPY OF THE SERVICE BULLETIN SHOWN HERE TELLS DEALERS THAT ONLY 7,000 VEHICLES MAY BE EXPECTED.

PURCHASED A PRE-OWNED 2001 HONDA CIVIC, CERTIFIED INSPECTION BY THE DEALER. VEHICLE HAS 2 INTERMITTENT SAFETY ISSUES, WHICH DID NOT PRESENT THEMSELVES IN THE TEST DRIVE PRIOR TO PURCHASE. FIRST, SRS LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON. SECONDLY THERE IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM, CAN NOT REPRODUCE ON DEMAND, WHERE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL COMPLETELY DROPS. SO GAS GAUGE SAYS EMPTY, SAYS YOU ARE DRIVING -0- MPH, ODOMETER GOES TO "8888888", ETC, ALTHOUGH YOU CAN CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE CAR. THE ONLY WAY TO RESET IS TO PULL OVER, TURN OFF THE CAR & RESTART THE VEHICLE. ONE DEALER QUOTED A GAUGE CLUSTER AT $800. ANOTHER DEALER COULD NOT CONFIRM THIS AS THE ISSUE AND ASKED FOR US TO DRIVE THERE WHEN IT IS HAPPENING - WHEN THE GAUGES HAVE DROPPED. IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITHOUT GAUGES, AND TO DRIVE IT ALL THE WAY TO THE DEALER LIKE THIS IS UNSAFE. I CALLED HONDA, THERE ARE NO SIMILARLY REPORTED ISSUES FOR MY VEHICLE.

LAST TIME IN 2004 I GOT IT FIXED BY THE DEALER. AT THAT TIME CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, BUT AS THE PROBLEM EXISTED BEFORE THE EXPIRATION OF WARRANTY THEY FIXED IT. SRS LIGHT PROBLEM REAPPEARED IN MARCH 2007 , AND WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER, HE SAID THAT PROBLEM WAS NOT THE SAME. HE STATED THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG IN SEAT BACK SENSOR. *AK DEALER IS AWARE OF THE RECALL ON SRS FROM HONDA...AND NOW HE IS NOT WILLING TO HELP ME. I NEVER HAD ANY ACCIDENT. THERE IS SOME INHERENT PROBLEM WITH SRS IN THIS CAR. DEALER WANTS ME TO PAY $600 TO FIX IT. THIS THE 6TH TIME SRS LIGHT IS ON.

SRS LIGHT CAME ON OUT OF THE BLUE 8/06. I HAD AN ACCIDENT 2/05. DEALER "CLEARED CODES". LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. THIS TIME THE DEALER BLAMED THE ACCIDENT. HAD THE INSURANCE COMPANY PAY $400 FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE SRS UNIT. LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN ONE WEEK LATER. DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THAT NOW IT IS A FAULTY SEAT BELT BUCKLE WHICH WOULD COST $305 TO REPAIR. THIS SEEMS TO BE A MAJOR ISSUE WITH HONDA CIVICS. THIS SERIOUSLY NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ISSUE. *JB

2001 HONDA CIVIC SRS LIGHT IS ON. VEHICLE HAS DIAGNOSTIC CODES 15-3 AND 15-1. VEHICLE NEEDS OPDS SENSOR AND CONTROL UNIT VEHICLE HAS 60,000 MILES AND IS OUT OF WARRANTY REPAIR IS OVER $1000 HONDA SHOULD HAVE TO RECALL THIS SAFETY AND REPAIR IT FOR FREE - I UNDERSTAND IT IS A RECURRING PROBLEM ON 2001 HONDA CIVICS. *JB

MY SRS LIGHT HAS BEEN ON, AND THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AROUND ME NEVER GAVE ME A DEFINITE ANSWER TO WHY THIS IS AN ISSUE. THEY SAID THEY ARE GOING TO CHARGE ME FOR SOMETHING THAT IS DEFECTIVE ON HONDA'S END. UNDERSTANDING THAT HONDA BUILT ITS REPUTATION ON RELIABILITY AND ASSURANCE, BUT THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED TO SO MANY HONDAS THAT I DEMAND A RECALL. *JB

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING 2001 HONDA CIVIC LX SEDAN EQUIPPED WITH SIDE AIRBAG OPTIONAL. WHILE SHE WAS 3RD IN LINE OF CARS STOPPED AT RED LIGHT, ANOTHER CAR PROCEEDED TO LEFT TURN FROM INTERSECTING ROAD AT SPEED, LOST CONTROL, AND CRASHED INTO HER DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. THAT DRIVER THEN PROCEEDED TO LEAVE THE SCENE OF THE ACCIDENT...HIT AND RUN. DAMAGE TO HER CAR EXTENDED FROM JUST FORWARD OF THE DRIVER'S DOOR, THE ENTIRE DRIVER'S DOOR, AND PARTLY ONTO THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR DOOR. THE SIDE IMPACT AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. DAMAGE TO THE CAR WAS EXTENSIVE AND THE CAR HAS BEEN TOTALED BY STATE FARM. IMPACT WAS STRONG ENOUGH TO SHATTER THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW, FRACTURE THE WINDSHIELD, AND PUSH THE CAR SIDEWAYS INTO THE CURB ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE, DAMAGING BOTH THE FRONT AND REAR TIRES ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE DUE TO CURB IMPACT. MY COMPLAINT IS WHY DIDN'T THE SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOY? *NM

IN JULY 2004 MY SRS LIGHT CAME ON, MY HORN DOESN'T WORK NOW, MY CRUISE CONTROL DOESN'T WORK. I HAVE READ BULLETINS ON OTHER WEB PAGES AND I KNOW MY 2001 HONDA CIVIC IS NOT THE ONLY CIVIC WITH THIS PROBLEM. IS THIS A SAFETY ISSUE? WILL MY AIRBAGS STILL WORK? *JB

THE SRS LIGHT DOES NOT GOES OFF DURING DRIVING. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT IT WILL DISABLE THE AIRBAG, AND CAN CAUSE SERIOUS PROBLEM TO ME. JUST LET OTHER HONDA OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I AM REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE CAR AND HOPE HONDA WILL DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. *NM

THE SRS LIGHT ON MY 2001 HONDA CIVIC HAS COME ON ON AT LEAST THREE OCCASIONS. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY SO THE DEALERSHIP FIXED IT. THE SECOND TIME, IT CAME ON IN JUNE 2004, THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS SRS UNIT FAILURE AND I SPENT CLOSE TO $400 TO REPLACE IT FROM THE DEALER. THE LIGHT CAME ON ANOTHER TIME IN 2005 BUT IT TURNED OFF AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS. THIS TIME, IN SEPT 2006, THE LIGHT HAS COME ON ALL OF A SUDDEN. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET AND IT SEEMS THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM FACED BY MOST HONDA CIVIC AND ACCORD OWNERS. I BELIEVE THIS IS A GAVE SAFETY ISSUES SINCE THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THE AIR BAGS WONT DEPLOY IF THE SRS LIGHT IS ON. I FEEL HONDA IS NOT MAKING ENOUGH EFFORTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM SINCE IT HAS BEEN OBSERVED IN 02 MODELS AS WELL. AND I CERTAINLY DO NOT FEEL HAPPY ABOUT SPENDING HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX IT EVERYTIME IT HAPPENS. HONDA DEALERS HAVE A SCRIPTED ANSWER TO THIS PROBLEM ..BLAMING IT ON ELECTRONIC INTERFERENCE, LAPTOPS, CELL PHONE USAGE. I THINK THAT IS BOLOGNA. *NM

ON AUGUST 2, 2006 I WAS THE DRIVER OF A VEHICLE THAT WAS INVOLVED IN A HEAD ON COLLISION WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE AT THE RATE OF SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH. MY AIR BAGS IN MY CAR DIDN'T DEPLOY CAUSING MY HEAD TO IMPACT TO FRONT WINDSHIELD. I AM EXPERIENCING MAJOR HEADACHE. THE POLICE OFFICERS THAT RESPONDED TO THE ACCIDENT SCENE ALSO QUESTIONED WHY THERE WAS NO AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT IN MY VEHICLE. THE INSPECTOR FROM LIBERTY MUTUAL ALSO QUESTIONED THE MALFUNCTION OF THE AIRBAGS. THE OTHER VEHICLE INVOLVED IN THIS ACCIDENT HAD AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. THE CAR WAS DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS FROM MY INSURANCE COMPANY. HONDA INSPECTED THE VEHICLE, HOWEVER I NEVER RECEIVED A WRITTEN REPORT FROM THEM EXPLAINING THE MALFUNCTION OF THEIR PRODUCT. THE CAR IS STILL AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION AS OF THIS DATE. (9/13/06) *JB

THE SRS INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON AND WOULDN'T GO OFF> I TOOK THE CAR TO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER WHERE IT WAS RESET FOR A $30 DIAGNOSTIC FEE. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THE DIAGNOSTIC CODE INDICATED A LOW VOLTAGE SITUATION AND INDICATED THAT THE BATTERY TESTED FINE. HE ASKED IF I DID ANYTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THE PROBLEM AND I TOLD HIM THAT I HAD CHANGED NOTHING IN THE WAY I OPERATED THE CAR. AFTER LOOKING AT OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE ON YOUR SITE, IT SEEMS THIS IS A COMMON AFFLICTION WITH HONDA'S THAT HAS NOT BEEN ADEQUATELY ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER AND TO REPLACE THE UNIT WOULD BE EXPENSIVE FOR THE OWNER. HONDA SHOULD RECTIFY THIS SITUATION. *JB

I WAS REAR ENDED BY A TACOMA TRAVELING 45 MPH WHILE I WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP. AS A RESULT, I HIT A MERCEDES THAT WAS STOPPED IN FRONT OF ME. MY AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.

THE "SRS" LIGHT ON MY 2001 HONDA CIVIC LX CAME ON A FEW MONTHS AGO WITHOUT ANY APPARENT REASON AND HAS NOT TURNED OFF. ACCORDING TO WHAT I HAVE READ, THIS INDICATES THAT THERE IS SOME TYPE OF A PROBLEM WITH THE AIR BAG / SAFETY RESTRAINT SYSTEM. AS FAR AS I KNOW, HONDA COVERS ONLY SEAT BELTS FOR THE LIFE OF THE CAR. AIRBAGS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE SO IMPORTANT (AND ARE NEVER USED UNLESS IN A CRASH); I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY THEY DO NOT COVER THESE VERY IMPORTANT SAFETY DEVICES. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ, THE AIR BAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY AS LONG AS THAT "SRS" LIGHT IS ON. THIS IS A SAD DAY FOR ALL AMERICANS. WHO CAN AFFORD TO PAY TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED????? I KNOW I CAN'T. IT SEEMS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH HONDAS. HOPEFULLY THERE WILL BE A RECALL BEFORE PEOPLE GET KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED AS A RESULT. *NM

THE SRS SENSOR LIGHT STAYS ON IN MY 2001 CIVIC -- THE DEALER STATES THAT IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY TO FIX -- IT IS A COSTLY REPAIR. I ONLY HAVE 33,000 MILES ON THE CAR.

THE SRS LIGHT ON MY 2001 HONDA CIVIC EX CAME ON UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE CAR. THERE WAS NO CRASH, NO FRONT END DAMAGE...IT JUST CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED. THEY RESET THE LIGHT AND TOLD ME THAT IF IT CAME ON AGAIN, I WOULD HAVE TO HAVE THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN REPLACED AS THE AIR BAGS WOULD NOT WORK. THIS WOULD COST ME IN EXCESS OF $800. WHILE IT WAS PARKED IN THE PARKING LOT AT WORK A FEW WEEKS LATER, THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. AGAIN, NO DAMAGE. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 25,000 MILES ON IT. *NM

2001 HONDA CIVIC EX SEDAN SRS LIGHT COMES ON AND STAY ON. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME AS THE FIRST TIME THE INDICATOR WAS JUST RESET BUT NOW IT JUST STAYED ON. I THINK HONDA SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ON THE SRS SYSTEM AS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT THE AIR BAGS WOULD NOT GO OFF. ALSO, THE SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT WOULD JUST FLICKER ON AND OFF. I THINK ALSO THAT NHTSA SHOULD MAKE HONDA DO A RECALL ON THE SRS SYSTEM AS MANY 2001 HONDA CIVIC OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED. *JB

I WAS DRIVING MY 2001 HONDA CIVIC WHEN A CAR RAN A RED LIGHT AND DROVE INTO MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A SIDE IMPACT BOTH OF MY FRONT AIR BAGS WENT OFF, THE PROBLEM WAS MY CAR WAS STILL MOVING FORWARD AND I COULD NOT SEE WHERE I WAS GOING AND WAS VERY LUCKY TO MISS A LIGHT POLE, A TELEPHONE POLE, A ELECTRIC GRID BOX AND SEVERAL SMALL TREES ALL OF WHICH WERE IN FRONT OF ME. LIKE I SAID I WAS VERY LUCKY TO MISS ALL OF THOSE OBJECTS BUT IF I HAD HIT ONE I WOULD NOT HAVE HAD THE AIR BAGS TO PROTECT ME BECAUSE THEY HAD ALREADY DEPLOYED. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE CAR FROM AFTER THE ACCIDENT AND IT CLEARLY SHOWS THAT THERE WAS NOT A SINGLE SCRATCH ON THE FRONT BUMPER THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIR BAGS. I AM CURRENTLY CAR SHOPPING TO REPLACE THE TOTALED VEHICLE AND WOULD LOVE TO PURCHASE ANOTHER HONDA BUT I HAVE DOUBTS OF THE SAFETY OF THEIR AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT SYSTEM. *JB

MY 2001 HONDA CIVIC EX SRS LIGHT CAME UP LAST WEEK. THIS CAR HAD LOT OF ISSUES SINCE I BOUGHT IN 2000 DECEMBER 1. RADIO REPLACED 1 MONTH AFTER PURCHASE. 2. RIGHT FRONT SIDE WHEEL BEARING WAS REPLACED WITHIN 6 MONTHS UNDER WARRANTY. IT FAILED AGAIN IN 2005. I HAD IT REPLACED AGAIN IN 2005 FOR $500. 3. SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT RESET WITHIN 2 YEARS. IT CAME BACK AGAIN IN 2000. THE DEALER DOESN'T KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. ITS GOING TO COST ME $600 TO REPLACE THE SENSOR. 4. FRONT SIDE WINDOWS GET STUCK AND DON'T ROLL UP PROPERLY IN COLD WEATHER. IN 2003 DEALER REPLACED THE MOTOR FOR $600 BUT STILL DOESN'T WORK. 5. REPLACED FRONT STRUTS IN 2006 6. POWER STEERING PUMP FAILED IN 2006 WILL COST ME $500 TO REPLACE. 7. SRS LIGHT CAME UP AND STAYS ON IN 2006. DON'T KNOW WHAT IT WILL TAKE TO GET THIS REPAIRED. OVERALL I THINK 2001 CIVIC IS A PIECE OF JUNK. *JB

ON MY 2001 HONDA CIVIC LX, THE SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) LIGHT COMES ON AND HAS REMAINED ON FOR THE PAST SEVERAL WEEKS, INDICATING FAILURE OF AIR BAGS AND/OR SEAT BELT PRETENSIONERS.

I AM THE SECOND OWNER AND HAVE OWNED MY FIRST (HONDA) CIVIC EX FOR NEARLY TWO YEARS IN MARCH OF 2006. ONE DAY AFTER WORK I GOT HOME, ATE THEN I JUMPED IN TO MY HONDA AND THE SRS CAME UP. AS I RESEARCH MORE , IT CAME TO BE THE AIR BAGS. I HAVE NOT TAKEN THE CAR TO THE APPROPRIATE DEALER BUT AFTER READING ALL THE BLOCS WITH THESE PROBLEMS, I HOPE THERE IS A DEFECT REPLACEMENT FROM HONDA. THIS ITEM IS NOT EVEN BEING USED AS A FUNCTIONING PART OTHER THAN SENSOR OR SO. I AM NOT COMPLAINING ABOUT A WINDOW THAT I WOULD USE ALL THE TIME. IT IS A PRODUCT THAT IS NOT IN FUNCTION IN NORMAL USE OTHERWISE I WOULD TAKE MY END OF THE BARGAIN AND REPLACE IT.*AK

SRS SENSOR FAILURE IN PASSENGER SEAT. THE VEHICLE IS NOT EVEN 5 YRS. OLD YET. I DO NOT KNOW HOW LONG SRS SENSORS ARE SUPPOSED TO LAST, BUT ACCORDING TO THE WARRANTY COMPANY, WHICH DID NOT COVER REPLACEMENT OF THE INEFFECTIVE DEVICE, THIS PART DOES NOT TYPICALLY GO OUT ON A HONDA. I FEEL, IN THE CASE THAT THE LIFETIME OF THIS PIECE OF EQUIPMENT WAS SHORTER THAN EXPECTED, THAT THIS COULD POSE A POTENTIAL THREAT IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. AS I WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALER, THE SRS SENSOR DETECTS WHETHER A PASSENGER IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND SENDS A SIGNAL TO THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY. OBVIOUSLY WHEN THE SENSOR IS FAILING TO DETECT A PASSENGER THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO AFFORD THE REPAIR BUT I HAVE CONCERN FOR THOSE WHO DO NOT. IN ADDITION, I FEEL IT IS IRRESPONSIBLE FOR ANY WARRANTY COMPANY TO EXCLUDE SUCH AN IMPORTANT COMPONENT IN A SAFETY SYSTEM ON A VEHICLE. THE DIAGNOSTIC CODE IS 15-3.*AK

DT: THE CONTACT'S SON NOTICED THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INVOLVED IN ANY PREVIOUS ACCIDENTS, AND THERE WERE NO PRIOR WARNINGS INDICATING A PROBLEM WITH THE AIR BAG SYSTEM.

2001 HONDA CIVIC EX, SRS LIGHT STAYS ON. CODE 15-3. OPD SYSTEM SENSOR WAS REPLACED 9/21/01 UNDER WARRANTY. LIGHT WENT BACK ON A SHORT TIME LATER. SOMEONE IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD MY DAUGHTER THAT IT WAS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT, BECAUSE THIS LIGHT SOMETIMES WENT ON FOR NO REASON. UNFORTUNATELY, HE DID NOT EXPLAIN THAT THE AIRBAGS ARE DISABLED WHEN THIS LIGHT IS ON. SHE HAS BEEN DRIVING IT WITH THE LIGHT ON SINCE 2001. (SHE ASSUMED IT WAS ONLY A DUMMY LIGHT, LIKE "MAINTENANCE REQUIRED"). YESTERDAY, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CHARGED $79 TO DIAGNOSE THE SAME PROBLEM, AND WANT $810 DOLLARS TO REPLACE THE SENSOR, SINCE IT IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. THIS MORNING, I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET (WWW.AUTOFAN.COM/FORUM) AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH HONDA, AND THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER HONDA CIVIC OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. IN ADDITION, IT SEEMS AS IF A NEW SENSOR WILL NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM, SINCE OTHER OWNERS REPORT ADDITIONAL FAILURES EVEN WHEN THE ORIGINAL SENSOR IS REPLACED. I AM VERY CONCERNED, I CONSIDER THIS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *AK

WITHIN ONE DAY THE SRS LIGHT HAD COME ON AGAIN AT A TIME THAT NO CELLULAR TELEPHONE WAS BEING USED AND/OR CHARGED. HONDA'S EXPLANATION OF THE USE OF ELECTRONIC DEVICES NEAR THE SEAT IS NOT SATISFACTORY AS IT PLACES THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS IN AN UNSAFE SITUATION. CELLULAR TELEPHONE USAGE AND/OR CHARGING MAY BE NECESSARY FOR PERSONAL SAFETY BUT POSSIBLY WILL RESULT IN THE AIRBAG SYSTEM NOT FUNCTIONING DURING WHAT COULD BE A CRUCIAL TIME.

THE AIRBAG SRS LIGHT HAS NEEDED TO BE RESET FOUR TIMES SINCE PURCHASING THE NEW VEHICLE. THE DEALER IS UNSURE IF THE AIRBAG WOULD DEPLOY WHEN THE SRS WARNING LIGHT IS ON. THE DEALER HAD A SERVICE BULLETIN POSTED IN THEIR OFFICE CONCERNING THIS DEFECT. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE DUE TO THE SUSCEPTIBLITY OF THE AIRBAG SENSORS TO NORMALLY OCCURRING RF FROM ENVIRONMENTAL SOURCES THAT MEET FCC STANDARDS FOR RF EMISSIONS. HONDA HAS NO EFFECTIVE SOLUTION FOR THE PROBLEM. I WOULD THINK THAT A RECURRING PROBLEM THAT POSES A RISK OF THE SRS NOT DEPLOYING WOULD BE AN UNACCEPTABLE RISK THAT WOULD REQUIRE MITIGATION. IN EVERY CASE, THE SRS LIGHT HAS COME BACK ON WITHIN A FEW DAYS OF SERVICE. I CAN'T BRING THE VEHICLE BACK IN ON A WEEKLY BASIS FOR AN SRS RESET, SO I HAVE DRIVEN THE VEHICLE EXTENSIVELY WITH NO CONFIDENCE THAT THE SRS SYSTEM WOULD DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT.
