2004 HONDA CIVIC Air Bags Problems

2004 HONDA Civic Cracked Block TSB [XXXX] Honda settled in a class-action lawsuit that covers 2008 - 2009 Civic engine block failures with unlimited miles for an extended 10-year warranty period. Covered Civics will receive an engine repair or replacement at no cost. The covered Civic engine castings were built using thinner aluminum and the cracked block will leak coolant causing the engine to overheat. Civics Covered 2006 - 2008 - ALL VINs beginning with 2HG & 1HG 2009 - Check eligibility with VIN Civic VINs beginning with 2HG & 1HG - Check eligibility * Excludes SI and Hybrid. My 2004 Civic has an identical engine crack with a 1HG VIN, and only 130k miles. The location of the crack is identical to the TSB and is not a result of the vehicle's maintenance and driver habits. I have found several cases where Honda Goodwill Assistance covered costs of repairs on vehicles past warranty. The 2004 Honda Civic has been recalled 15 times by the NHTSA with the engine problems severity rating a 10, on a scale of 1 - 10 (10 being the worst). [XXX] labeled the 2004 Honda Civic with a red Alert Notice of the recalls rendering the appeal of owning a 2004 Civic an unreliable purchase. As well as, 2006 - 2019 Civics due to the TBS extended warranty on known engine issues. [XXX] reviews for a 2004 Honda Civics a 1 out of 5 (1 being the worst). Honda Recall, Q5A, Y58 on 2001 Civic airbags caused death, yet the recall was not announced until 2019. Placing a 10-year extended warranty has proven to not cover all Honda’s and should be reviewed on a case by case basis to catch any cars not covered by warranty. My Civic was agreed to be looked at by Honda, and I'm to send the detailed inspection report for review by the NA Honda Headquarters. Awaiting reply 11/14/2023.

I got into an accident today and airbag inflator that was replaced due to a recall never deployed upon impact causing me to slam into my steering wheel with my head. Officer looked in car and realized airbag never deployed. I drove car home. Now waiting for hopefully someone to give me an answer to why my airbag did not deploy?

The air bag failed to deploy during the vehicular collision on Jan.27, 2022 at the intersection in a city in Virginia. The HONDA Civic LX 2004 was hit by another vehicle on the driver side; the air bag on the passenger side deployed BUT NOT THE AIR BAG ON THE DRIVER SIDE. The driver suffered head injury (hematoma and cuts on scalp) & lumbar fracture and has to be treated in ER and was hospitalized for a few days. The injured driver also cannot go back to work until completely healed and still undergoing treatment. The car was moved from the towing service company shop to the storage facility of USAA (as of this writing, the vehicle is still there). In the police report, in the box for "Airbag Deployed", the officer encircled YES but did NOT specify it was for the passenger side ONLY. The insurance company declared the car NOT REPAIRABLE based on their inspections.

The contact owns a 2004 Honda Civic. The contact stated that the airbag warning light was illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact then received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V501000 (Air Bags). The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the recall was serviced; however, the airbag warning light remained illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact notified the dealer of the failure and he was informed that the warning light was related to a failure that was not associated with the recall. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.

DEALERSHIP SHOWED NO RECALL FOR THIS VIN , WHEN I ENTERED IT IN THEIR WEBSITE.

I HAVE RECEIVED MANY RECALL NOTICES FROM HONDA STATING THE AIR BAG RECALL REPAIR IS FREE AND A FREE RENTAL CAR WILL PROVIDED FOR THE DAY OF THE REPAIR, HOWEVER THIS IS ABSOLUTELY FALSE! I HAVE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP IN MY AREA MULTIPLE TIMES AND AM CONSISTENTLY TOLD RENTAL CARS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND THEIR RIDE SHUTTLE IS NOT AVAILABLE DUE TO THE PANDEMIC. I CALLED THEM BEFORE THE PANDEMIC AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING, THAT A RENTAL CAR IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR THAT SERVICE! THEY SAID I CAN SIT IN THE WAITING ROOM FOR 4 HOURS (OR MORE!) DURING THE RECALL REPAIR AND THAT IS IT. I CANNOT MISS WORK TO RESOLVE THIS, I HAVE ALREADY DONE THAT IN THE PAST AS THIS IS NOT THE FIRST RECALL! I CONTINUE TO RECEIVE NOTICES IN THE MAIL TELLING ME MYSELF OR MY PASSENGERS COULD DIE IF THIS PROBLEM ISN'T RESOLVED, CAUSING SO MUCH ANXIETY, AND YET I CANNOT GET THE REPAIR SCHEDULED UNLESS I TAKE AN ENTIRE DAY OFF WORK, LOSE AN ENTIRE DAY OF PAY AND SIT IN THEIR WAITING ROOM FOR HOURS (DURING A PANDEMIC)! OCEAN HONDA WOULD NOT PROVIDE RENTAL CARS BEFORE THE PANDEMIC FOR THIS RECALL SO I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY I CONTINUE TO RECEIVE THESE LETTERS STATING A FREE RENTAL CAR IS AVAILABLE FOR THE DAY OF THE REPAIR OR LONGER - IT IS SIMPLY NOT THE CASE! I HAVE CALLED AND CALLED AND AM MET WITH RUDE CALL CENTER AGENTS TELLING ME THIS IS JUST THE WAY IT IS, WHICH MAKES THE TEXT IN YOUR LETTERS OUTRIGHT LIES. IF I NEED TO BRING MY CAR IN FOR A RECALL AND A FREE RENTAL CAR IS AVAILABLE AS YOUR LETTER STATES, PLEASE HELP ME FIND A DEALER WHO WILL HONOR THE OFFER IN THE NEVER ENDING RECALL NOTICES THAT I RECEIVE OR TAKE ME OFF OF THIS MAILING LIST SO I DO NOT HAVE TO CONTINUE TO SEE THESE THREATS OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO ME OR MY PASSENGERS AS THEY ARE CAUSING TOO MUCH STRESS AND ANXIETY FOR ME!

WHEN I STOPED AT A STOP SIGN, MY AIRBAG DEPLOYED, KNOCKING ME UNCONSCIOUS. I PROCEEDED TO HIT A TREE GOING AT AN ACCELERATED SPEED. I WAS AIRLIFTED BY HELICOPTER TO A TRAMA HOSPITAL. I HAD 3 FRACTURED RIBS, A BROKEN STERNUM, AND 4 BROKEN BONES IN MY LOWER BACK. I FRECEIVED A CALL BACK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THIS ACCIDENT WAS BECAUSE OF FRAUD FROM TAKATA, AND HONDA. MY CAR SHOULD'VE BEEN RECALLED.

I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL ALERT ON MY HONDA CIVIC AIR BAGS YEARS AGO. I TOOK IT IN TO MY HONDA DEALER AND THEY TOOK CARE OF THE PROBLEM. I RECEIVED A NEW SAFETY RECALL ALERT TODAY. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN HANDLED (SEE ATTACHED).

MY HONDA CIVIC HAD AN AIR BAG RECALL, WHICH I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR. ABOUT 2 MONTHS AFTER THE FIX, MY AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD IT CHECKED OUT AT ANOTHER SHOP AND THEY RESET MY LIGHT. IT COME BACK ON APPROXIMATELY EVERY MONTH. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IT IS SUSPICIOUS THAT I NEVER HAD ANY SUCH PROBLEM UNTIL THE HONDA DEALER REPLACED THE AIR BAG. THEY REFUSE TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM AND INSIST IT IS NOT THERE RESPONSIBILITY. COINCIDENCE I DON'T THINK SO. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUED WITH OTHER HONDA OWNERS WHO HAVE UNDERGONE THIS PROCEDURE

I TOOK OUR HONDA INTO THE HONDA DEALER FOR AN AIRBAG RECALL. THEY CHANGED THE AIRBAG ON OCT 20 2016. AFTER A FEW DAYS THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. THEY DID A SCAN AND NOW THEY SAY THE SEAT BELT ON THE DRIVER SIDE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. ABOUT $700.00. I AM SEEING THRU GOOGLE SEARCHES THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM AFTER THE AIRBAG IS REPLACED. AS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING HONDA PROBLEM I AM THINKING THEY SHOULD RECTIFY PROBLEM OR INSTALL ORIGINAL AIRBAG BACK TO FIX. AS THIS WAS A CAR ONLY DRIVEN 5 TO 6 MONTHS A YEAR AND THEN STORED FOR THE REST NOW THAT WE WANT TO SELL WE NEED TO GET FIXED

TAKATA RECALL DURING A JANUARY SNOWFALL AND FREEZE, I WAS TRAVELING IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 50-60 MILES PER HOUR, WITH THE SPEED OF TRAFFIC. A CAR APPROXIMATELY 7-8 CAR LENGTHS AHEAD OF ME BEGAN TO BREAK AND I DID TOO. I WAS BREAKING WHEN MY CAR BEGAN TO FISHTAIL AND I WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE CAR FOR 2-3 SECONDS BEFORE HITTING A PATCH OF ICE AND SPINNING INTO THE HIGHWAY CONCRETE MEDIAN. MY CAR DID NOT HIT ANY OTHER VEHICLES BEFORE HITTING THE MEDIAN ON THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT AND HOOD. I ESTIMATE THAT I WAS TRAVELING OVER 40 MILES AN HOUR. THE CAR THEN SPUN AROUND AND HIT THE BACK DRIVERS SIDE AND THEN SPUN AGAIN TO FACING FORWARD. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE AIRBAGS, WHICH WERE REPLACED IN THE TAKATA RECALL A FEW YEARS AGO DID NOT GO OFF. THE CAR WAS CONSIDERED TOTALED AND WAS DONATED.

ON MONDAY, MARCH 11, 2019, THE "AIRBAG WARNING" (RED COLORED) LIGHT THAT DEPICTS A DEPLOYED AIRBAG IN FRONT OF A DRIVER (PASSENGER?) IN A FRONT SEAT, APPEARED AS I WAS DRIVING (AND NOT AT THE TIME I STARTED MY CAR'S ENGINE) ON A PAVED ROAD, NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS, DRIVING AROUND 40 MPH; I WAS NOT BRAKING OR MAKING SHARP TURNS. MY HONDA MANUAL STATES THAT THIS SYMBOL MEANS THAT EITHER THE AIRBAG(S) OR THE SEATBELT MECHANISM IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. WITH RESPECT TO THE AIRBAG, IT STATES THAT UPON A CAR ACCIDENT, THE AIR BAG MAY NOT PROPERLY WORK; AND THEREFORE, I SHOULD HAVE MY AIRBAG(S) INSPECTED BY A HONDA DEALER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I ALSO HAVE SIDE AIRBAGS IN MY CAR. MY SEATBELT SEEMS TO BE WORKING FINE, SO I'M NOT SURE IF/HOW THIS WARNING COULD APPLY TO MY SEATBELT. I HAD THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG REPLACED I BELIEVE IN 2016 OR 2017; MY PAPERWORK IS IN STORAGE, HOWEVER UPON YOUR REQUEST, I WILL LOCATE THE INFORMATION. I HEARD AND READ TODAY ABOUT THE TAKATA BAG RECALL ON ABOUT 1.2 MILLION HONDA CARS FROM AROUND 2002 TO 2016. I ENTERED MY VIN NUMBER INTO YOUR SYSTEM AND IT DOES NOT INDICATE ANOTHER RECALL ON THE AIRBAG I ALREADY HAD REPLACED; I SEEM TO REMEMBER THAT THE REPLACED AIRBAG I RECEIVED AROUND 2017 WAS NOT A TAKATA, WAS ANOTHER BRAND. PERHAPS THIS WARNING LIGHT IS ABOUT THE PASSENGER'S AIRBAG? NEVERTHELESS, THIS AIRBAG AND SEATBELT WARNING LIGHT DOES CONCERN ME. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP.

RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON MY 2004 CIVIC STATING THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG INFLATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. TOOK IT TO THE CLOSET DEALERSHIP. AFTER AN INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE I WAS TOLD THEY WERE UNABLE TO PERFORM THE RECALL DUE TO AIRBAG BELONGS TO A DIFFERENT YEAR CIVIC AND RECALL IS NOT VALID.

AGAIN I WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE THE ORIGINAL AIR BAG INSTALLED. I HAVE RECEIVED A THIRD NOTICE ABOUT THE RECALL FROM HONDA AND DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT REPORT THIS INFORMATION ON MY VEHICLE.

MY 04 CIVIC WIRING ALMOST SET MY CAR COMPLETELY ON FIRE. THE WHOLE ELECTRICAL HARNESSES WHERE MELTED THE CAR WITHOUT WARNING STARTED BLOWING SMOKE OUT OF THE AIR VENTS, I PULLED OVER AND THE CAR WAS THICK WITH SMOKE. THE WIRES UNDER THE HOOD AND INSIDE THE CAR ALL THE WAY TO THE TRUNK WERE ALL MELTED. I TOWED THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE ALL THE ELETRICAL AND SENSORS IN THE WHOLE CAR. IT COST OVER $3100. TO REPLACE EVERYTHING, THE CAR SOMTIMES WONT START AND THE COMPUTER HAS TO BE RESET TO START ALSO THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS NOW ON., THE DEALER SAID EVERY ELECTRICAL COMPONENT ON THE CAR MIGHT NEED TO BE REPLACED, COMPUTER ETC. BUT IT WILL COST ABOUT $4000+ DOLLARS AND ITS POSSIBLE THAT THE AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT., 2004 HONDA CIVICS ARE UNSAFE TO DRIVE., DRIVING HONDA CIVICS ARE DANGEROUS AND NO ONE SHOULD BUY THEM.

TAKATA RECALL- I TOOK MY HONDA IN FOR TWO SAFETY RECALLS (AIRBAGS; 15V-320 AND 15V-370) AT HOLMAN HONDA. I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL STATING THE THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON AND THE RIGHT AIRBAG IMPACT SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED FOR $357.00. NO LIGHTS WERE ON WHEN I DROPPED OFF THE CAR... I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THIS DEALERSHIPS PRACTICES AND CHARGES FOR FREE SAFETY RECALLS. MY VEHICLE STILL FEELS UNSAFE!

WE HAVE HAD THE TAKATA AIRBAGS REPLACED BY THE HONDA DEALER IN BOW, NH. HOWEVER, OUR AIRBAGS ARE STILL NOT FUNCTIONING AS INDICATED BY THE AIRBAG LIGHT STILL BEING ON AND THE DIAGNOSITCE LATER RUN (AT OUR REQUEST) BY THE DEALER. THE DEALER NOW WAYS THAT THERE IS A DEFECT IN OUR SEATBELT WHICH IS DISABLING THE AIRBAGS. WE THOUGHT THE SEATBELTS WERE WARRANTIED AGAINST DEFECT BUT THE DEALER CLAIMS IT IS NOT. PLEASE ASSIST.

"TAKATA RECALL" WE OWN 2 HONDAS INVOLVED IN THE RECALL. THE AIRBAGS WERE REPLACED ON BOTH VEHICLES. THE SRS LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED ON BOTH VEHICLES SINCE THE AIRBAG WAS REPLACED. RT. 23 HONDA, POMPTON PLAINS, NJ REPLACED THE AIRBAGS. THEY WANT $300 FOR EACH VEHICLE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM THAT THEY SAY IS NOT RELATED TO THE AIRBAG REPLACEMENT. WE FEEL THIS MUST BE RELATED TO THE REPLACEMENT. SEEMS UNLIKELY THAT 2 VEHICLES AFTER REPLACEMENT WOULD HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I WILL SUBMIT A SECOND FORM SINCE THERE ARE 2 VIN NUMBERS INVOLVED. I LAST SPOKE TO THE DEALER ABOUT THIS ON 4/21/2016.

TAKATA RECALLS WE HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ANYTHING STATING IF OUR VEHICLE HAS BEEN RECALLED OR NOT. EVERYTHING I READ SAYS IT HAS & WE WILL RECEIVE NOTIFICATION. WELL WHEN WILL THAT HAPPEN, WHEN AN AIRBAG EXPLODES & HURTS SOMEONE?

TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE RECIEVED MUTIPLE LETTERS CONCERNING MY AIR BAG RECALL HAVE HAD THE CARE UP THERE AND HAVE BEEN TOLD IT'S FIXED, AND I STILL GET LETTERS THAT IT HASN'T BEEN FIXED. ALSO THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT HAS STAYED ON MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY SAID THEY FIXED BUT YET WHEN I WOULD GO NO MORE THAN 2 MILES DOWN THE ROAD IT WOULD COME BACK ON ALSO THE DEALERSHIP I TOOK IT TO DID A MULTI POINT INSPECTION AND SAID MY PARKING BREAK WAS FINE BUT LITTLE DID THEY KNOW MY PARKING BREAK DOESN'T WORK SO HOW DID IT OPERATE FINE IF I KNOW GOOD AND WELL IT DOESN'T. WILL NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH HONDA AGAIN

SRS LIGHT ON FOR YEARS. TOLD IT WAS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. THEN HONDA SAYS IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, I HAVE TO PAY HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS FOR REPAIR. TRANSMISSION WENT OUT COST OVER $2500 SO FAR, CAR STILL ISN'T WORKING. WELL KNOWN PROBLEM BUT HONDA IS GREEDY AND WON'T PAY TO FIX THEIR UNSAFE VEHICLES. CAR OVERHEATS WHEN USING THE HEATER. DRIVER SEAT FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO MOVE WHILE DRIVING. I WILL NEVER BUY A HONDA EVER AGAIN.

ON JULY 12, 2014 MY HUSBAND (DRIVER) AND MYSELF (PASSENGER) WERE INVOLVED IN A HEAD ON CRASH WITH MY 2004 HONDA CIVIC. TRAVELING AT APPROX. 35 MPH WE HIT A PARKED DODGE RAM TRUCK HEAD ON. MY HUSBAND SUFFERED SIX FRACTURED RIBS. I HAD A BLACK LEFT EYE, A SEVERE CONCUSSION, A SUBARACHNOID HEMORRHAGE (BLEED ON THE TOP OF MY BRAIN), MY TOP FRONT TEETH WERE EMBEDDED IN MY TOP LIP AND HAD A COMPLICATED VERTICAL TOP LIP LACERATION REQUIRING STITCHES. DUE TO DAMAGE OF MY TOP LIP I NO LONGER HAVE FEELING AT THE LOCATION OF THE LACERATION OR WHERE MY TEETH WERE EMBEDDED IN MY TOP LIP AND WAS TOLD I WILL NOT GET IT BACK. DUE TO THE LACERATION I HAVE A VERTICAL SCAR FROM ABOVE CENTER OF MY LIP THAT GOES TO THE INSIDE OF MY LIP. A COUPLE MONTHS AFTER OUR ACCIDENT THE AIRBAG RECALL CAME OUT. WE LOOKED AT PHOTOS OF THE INSIDE OF MY HONDA. UP UNTIL THIS TIME WE COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHERE MY HEAD/FACIAL INJURIES CAME FROM. LOOKING AT THE PHOTOS YOU CAN SEE THE AIRBAG EXPLODED. THUS IT CUT MY FACE AND CAUSED ME TO GO INTO THE DASHBOARD AFTER EXPLODING CAUSING THE SEVERE CONCUSSION AND SUBARACHNOID HEMORRHAGE. HAD THE AIRBAG STAY INFLATED AS IT SHOULD I WOULD OF NOT SUFFERED THE HEAD/FACIAL INJURIES. SOME OF WHICH WILL NOW HAVE THE REST OF MY LIFE. ...UPDATED 01/06/15 *BF

MY COMPLAINT IS ABOUT A DEALERSHIP HANDLING MY AIRBAG RECALL FOR MY 2004 HONDA CIVIC. I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP WILLETT HONDA SOUTH IN MORROW, GA., TO BE "INSPECTED," THEY CLAIMED THEY DID NOT HAVE THE AIRBAGS IN STOCK EVEN THOUGH MY HONDA CASE MANAGER SAID THEY DID. THE DEALERSHIP WENT OUT OF THEIR WAY TO FIND OTHER THINGS WRONG WITH MY CAR TO GET ME TO SPEND MONEY THERE, THEY WERE ALSO EXTREMELY FLIPPANT ABOUT MY CONCERN ABOUT CONTINUING TO DRIVE THIS CAR EVEN THOUGH NOTHING HAD BEEN FIXED ON THE CAR AT ALL. THE PERSON HANDLING MY CHECKOUT EXPERIENCE BASICALLY SAID "WELL YOU HAVE BEEN DRIVING THIS CAR FOR 10 1/2 YEARS, WHAT ARE THE CHANCES SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN."

THERE WERE NO LIGHTS INDICATING ANY KIND OF PROBLEMS PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT. AND IN MY OPINION THEY JUST FAILED TO DEPLOY. AS I STATED EARLIER, THE FRONT OF THE CAR IS ALL BUT GONE. BASED ON THE AMOUNT OF AIRBAGS COMPLAINTS THERE IS A PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED HERE. *TR

MY SRS LIGHT HAD BEEN COMING ON AND OFF FOR MONTHS. I RECEIVED A "RECALL LETTER" FROM HONDA 1/3/12, FOR AN AIRBAG ISSUE. I CALLED DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT, WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR WAS NOT PART OF THAT RECALL. I WAS PART OF A MASS DUMPING FROM HONDA FOR CARS FROM 2000-2004. I THEN TOLD THEM THAT MY SRS LIGHT WAS COMING ON AND OFF, WAS ADVISED TO BRING INTO SERVICE DEPT. I DID. WHILE BEING SERVICED, TECHNICIANS SCANNED VEHICLE & CHECKED FOR CODES (WHICH WAS $95) - NO CODES WERE FOUND. THEY THEN RAN A DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLESHOOT, WHICH INDICATED THAT SRS CONTROL UNIT NEEDED REPLACED AND THEN RECHECK. WAS TOLD THAT WOULD BE $495, THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PART AND WOULD HAVE TO ORDER IT. WAS ALSO TOLD, THEY WERE NOT EVEN SURE IF THAT WOULD BE MY SOLUTION. WHEN I ASKED THEM WHAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THIS CONTROL UNIT (FOR AIRBAG SAFETY FEATURE), TO NEED REPLACED. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY "WERE UNSURE AND MAYBE A SHORT CAUSED IT. IT IS AN ELECTRICAL UNIT AND MANY THINGS COULD GO WRONG." WHEN I ASKED WHAT COULD CAUSE A SHORT, WAS TOLD, 'NOT SURE, COULD BE WETNESS OR AN ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION." (WET INSIDE MY CAR, I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT IS NOT THE CASE.) I THEN STATED, THAT THIS SOUNDED LIKE A MANUFACTURES DEFECT TO THE UNIT. I WAS TOLD OTHERWISE. I ASKED ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE SRS LIGHT IS ON, TOLD THAT THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT BE ACTIVE AND NOT DEPLOY IF IN ACCIDENT. WHY IS THERE NO LIFETIME WARRANTY ON THE AIRBAG SAFETY FEATURE & SYSTEM, (WHICH IS ON ALL CARS TODAY), LIKE THERE IS FOR THE SEAT BELT MECHANISM & SYSTEM? UPON REVIEW OF NHTSA, I SEE THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS ISSUE, OF THE SRS LIGHT COMING ON AND THE CONTROL PANEL MALFUNCTIONING WITH SUGGESTED REPLACEMENT. *TR

2004 HONDA CIVIC. CONSUMER STATES SAFETY DEFECT IN AIR BAG SYSTEM *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED. *JB

I HAVE A 2004 HONDA CIVIC EX SEDAN. THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEATBELT SENSOR THAT CONNECTS WITH THE LARGER SRS SAFETY SYSTEM WAS TRIGGERED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. WHEN THIS SENSOR INDICATES A FAILURE, THE SRS LIGHT COMES ON AND THE AIRBAGS ARE TAKEN OFFLINE AND PREVENTED FROM BEING DEPLOYED. THUS, IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP HONDA OF PASADENA, WHERE THEY RESET THE SENSOR, TESTED IT, AND DECLARED THAT IT WAS NOT FAULTY. SO THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE IT UNDER WARRANTY, NOR GIVE ANY DISCOUNTED PRICE FOR REPLACEMENT. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE SENSOR TRIGGERED FOR NO REASON, SO IT IS LIKELY TO TRIGGER AGAIN FOR NO REASON, DISABLING AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT IN THE CASE OF A CRASH. I CAN'T TAKE THIS CHANCE GIVEN THAT I AND MY FAMILY HAVE A LONG ROAD TRIP NEXT WEEK. SO I NEED TO PAY $320 OUT OF POCKET TO HAVE THE SENSOR REPLACED. ONLINE HONDA-SPECIFIC FORUMS MAKE IT CLEAR THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE DEALING WITH A MYSTERIOUS TRIGGERING OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEATBELT SENSOR. THERE ARE AT LEAST 6 OTHER CASES THAT I COULD FIND. I REPORTED MY CASE TO HONDA CORPORATE, AND WAS INFORMED THAT NO RECALL OR EXTENDED WARRANTY EXISTED AS YET FOR THAT SENSOR. I HOPE THAT THE NHTSA WILL KEEP A RECORD OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SENSOR FAILURE. *TR

THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT SYSTEM ON OUR 2004 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID HAS SHUT DOWN. THE MECHANIC AT OUR DEALERSHIP, OPEN ROAD HONDA IN EDISON, NJ, SAYS IT'LL COST $825 TO REPLACE THE COMPUTER SENSOR SYSTEM WHICH CONTROLS THE BAGS. OUR CAR IS 5 YEARS OLD AND HAS ABOUT 101,000 MILES ON IT. IT HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED, MOSTLY BY THE DEALERSHIP, AND STILL RUNS MORE OR LESS LIKE NEW. THE MANUAL SAYS THE SRS SYSTEM IS SUPPOSED TO BE MAINTENANCE-FREE. NATURALLY THE CAR IS PAST WARRANTY. IS IT NORMAL AND EXPECTED FOR AIR BAG SYSTEMS TO BREAK DOWN FOR NO APPARENT REASON, AT THIS POINT IN THE CAR'S EXISTENCE? IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG WITH 2004 CIVICS WHICH MIGHT HAVE CAUSED THIS MALFUNCTION? HAS THERE BEEN A RECALL WE MAY NOT BE AWARE OF REGARDING THIS PART?

I OWN A HONDA CIVIC SEDAN AUTOMATIC 4 WHEEL DRIVE PURCHASED BRAND NEW 2004 MODEL. FIRST OF ALL, YESTERDAY I NOTICED THE LIGHT ON MY CONSOLE THAT MEANT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WAS TURNED OFF. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO ASK WHY IT WENT ON THEY SAID IT WAS BECAUSE MY PURSE WAS ON THE SEAT AND IT THINKS A CHILD UNDER 60 POUNDS IS SITTING THERE SO IT AUTOMATICALLY TURNS OFF THE AIR BAG. THEY SAID IT WILL GO AWAY WHEN I TAKE EVERYTHING OFF THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE LIGHT DID NOT GO AWAY AND WHEN MY SISTER WHO IS 130 POUNDS SAT ON THE SEAT AND DROVE WITH ME THE LIGHT NEVER WENT OFF, MEANING THAT IF I HAD GOTTEN INTO A CAR ACCIDENT HER AIRBAG WOULD NOT HAVE DEPLOYED. SECOND, TODAY WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON THE 101 FREEWAY GOING BETWEEN 65 AND 70, THE GAS PEDAL BECAME LOOSE AND MY CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE VERY QUICKLY EVEN THOUGH I WAS NOT EVEN TOUCHING THE GAS PEDAL. WHEN I TRIED TO BRAKE THE CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY, TRAFFIC WAS BUILDING SO I KEPT TRYING TO BRAKE AND THE CAR SHOOK SO BADLY THAT I STARTED LOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. LUCKILY I THOUGHT OF USING THE NEUTRAL DRIVE TO STOP THE ACCELERATION OF MY VEHICLE. THE CAR CONTINUED TO MAKE THE NOISE LIKE I WAS HITTING THE GAS BUT THE CAR SLOWED DOWN ENOUGH AND I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE FREEWAY AND PARK. HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR ME THINKING OF USING THE NEUTRAL SHIFT, I WOULD HAVE HIT A CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I GOT MY CAR TOWED TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP BUT I HAVE NOT HEARD SINCE THEN. *JB

MY SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ALTERNATING BETWEEN GOING OFF AND ON AND STAYING ON FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME.

FINALLY, AFTER MY INSISTENCE, THEY PURSUED IT A BIT FURTHER(THE COMPUTER READ-OUTS SHOWED NO PROBLEMS) AND DISCOVERED THERE IS SOME PROBLEM WITH A SENSOR LOCATED IN A SEAT SO ALL AIR BAGS ARE DISABLED UNTIL THE PART ARRIVES.
