2006 HONDA CIVIC Air Bags Problems

The contact owned a 2006 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while the husband was idling behind a bus, a second vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed crashed into the rear end of the vehicle. The impact of the rear-end crash pushed the vehicle into the rear of the bus causing severe damage to the vehicle's front end. During the crash, the air bags did not deploy and the seatbelts on both the driver's and front passenger's side had malfunctioned and did not properly secure the occupants. The driver sustained bruising of the chest and torso. The front passenger sustained a head injury. No medical treatment was immediately required. The vehicle was destroyed. A police report was taken at the scene and the vehicle was towed to a local service center. The cause of the failure was not determined. The manufacturer and local dealer were not contacted. The failure mileage was 170,000.

On Friday 8/12/22 at about 12PM, the drivers side airbag on my Honda Civic inadvertently deployed while driving west on Hwy 28 in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan (coords 46.310194, -85.627542). I was driving the speed limit (65 mph). The car did not collide with any object. I noticed the airbag light had come on before the incident, however, there were no service centers or Honda dealers within at least a hundred miles. My safety was put at risk by the sudden and unexpected deployment of the airbag. My left wrist and elbow were injured by the deployment along with laceration on my wrist. I have an appointment at the local Honda Dealer (Thelen Honda - Bay City, MI) on 9/2/22 at 9:30am to have the vehicle/airbag system inspected. Unfortunately, there are no earlier openings for service. A claim has been filed with my car insurance. They have not inspected the damage at this time and probably won't because they informed me my policy won't cover the damage.

Takata Recall. The contact owns a 2006 Honda Civic. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V346000 (Air Bags) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available.

The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and confirmed that parts were not yet available. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

I got a 2006 honda civic lx the airbag light is on last week . Keep blinking and i dont know why now my car wont start the mechanic said i have a problem on the fuel pump and starter . That happend when i drop off my 6yrs old daugther to her school all day i keep thinking what happend . My car stuck there for 1week i got a street cleaning ticket and i dont have a choice to get a towing service S

This was a drive from NY to Boston. In Boston, I was driving about 45MPH, 1 mile before the last exit from HWY. Suddenly, the car is out of control, probably the brake system, making the car turning around until it hits the divider on the rear right side of the car. Both right-side passenger airbags were activated, but none inflated as expected. Luckily, we didn't hit any other cars. Three people in the car were safe, except I have muscle pain near the neck and shoulder.

WHEN I'M DRIVING THE CAR I NOTICE THAT MY AIR BAG LIGHT SAYS THAT MY AIR BAG IS OFF. THIS WILL BE THE 11TH RECALL AND IT HASN'T GOT FIXED YET.

COMPLAINT: SRS LIGHT ILLUMINATED - CAUSE 32-1-X (X=0-9/A-F) OPEN OR INCREASED RESISTANCE IN THE RIGHT SIDE AIRBAG INFLATOR. REPAIR IS NOT COVERED BY HONDA BECAUSE "RIGHT SIDE AIRBAG INFLATOR (IN THE SEAT, NOT THE DASH) NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY EXTENSION" - REPAIR ESTIMATE QUOTED AT "AROUND $1,200" AT THIS POINT, THE ONLY ISSUE IS THE LIGHT IS ON. THIS IS TRUE ANYTIME THE IGNITION IS IN THE ON POSITION REGARDLESS OF VEHICLE DISPOSITION. I OPENED A CASE WITH HONDA USA (CASE NUMBER 09737616, AND THEY DENIED COVERAGE.

Mileage: 188,000

I WAS TOLD MY CAR NEEDS AN INFLATOR BUT THAT IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER RECALL. WHY DOES THIS CAR HAVE AN AIRBAG ISSUE THAT IS NOT COVERED? 802 HONDA, IN MONTPELIER VT HAS REPLACED THE DRIVERS SEAT BELT BUCKLE TWICE AND EACH TIME THE AIRBAG LIGHT GOES OUT BUT NOW THEY SAY IT NEEDS A RIGHT SIDE AIRBAG INFLATOR IN THE SEAT WHICH IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL AND THEY GAVE ME A REPAIR ESTIMATE (RANGE) OF $1,000 TO $1,500. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD THEREFORE BE COVERED BY RECALL. ADDITIONALLY, THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE VISORS WHICH FALL INTO THE LINE OF SIGHT WHEN DRIVING AS A RESULT OF SPLITTING APART WHICH SHOULD ALSO BE COVERED BUT THERE WAS AN EXPIRATION ON THAT RECALL. THE SAFETY ISSUE IS THE SAME REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE CAR IS SIX YEARS OLD OR 16 AND REGARDLESS OF THE MILEAGE SO THIS TOO SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER.

Mileage: 205,000

I HAVE HAD MY PASSAGES AIRBAG RECALLED TWICE AND EVER SINCE THE LAST TIME - THE AIRBAGS LIGHT GOES ON ALL THE TIME AND HONDA 1) CHARGES ME - 2 TIMES TO EVEN LOOK AT IT SINCE IT WASN'T A RECALL AND 2) WANT ME TO PAY TO FIX IT. IT A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND THEY CAUSE IT BY RECALLING IT TWICE AND WREAKING THE CONNECTION AND SAYS IT'S MY PROBLEM - PLEASE READ HONDA STRIVE BULLETIN 10-001 PUT OUT ON 12/12/10. THE SRS INDUCTOR COMES ON AND DTC 32-10 IS STORED - HONDA NEEDS TO FIX THIS!,,

Mileage: 65,000

TAKATA RECALL: I HAVE HAD AN AIRBAG LIGHT ON SEVERAL TIMES. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP IT IS AN INFLATOR CODE AND I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR A $1,200 REPAIR. ON TWO OCCASIONS THE SEATBELT WAS REPLACED. SOMEDAYS MY LIGHT IS ON, OTHERS IT IS NOT. THERE IS A RECALL AND THERE IS A TECHNICAL BULLETIN BUT MY CAR IS "NOT IMPACTED" THAT IS UNTRUE. IT ABSOLUTELY IS. THE VEHICLE IS PRESENTING THE SAME CODES AS THOSE IN THESE BULLETINS AND RECALLS AND IT SHOULD BE REPAIRED AT HONDA'S EXPENSE, NOT MINE. FURTHERMORE, THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR IS BROKEN BUT IT WAS NOT REPAIRED BEFORE THE END DATE OF THE RECALL (I DID NOT OWN IT THEN) AND NOW THAT I OWN IT I AM TOLD IT IS NOT ELIGIBLE. I CONTEST, THE ISSUE IS AS MUCH OF A SAFETY ISSUE FOR MYSELF AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD IN 2018 AS IT WAS WHEN IT WAS ISSUED. THIS TOO SHOULDE BE REPLACED AT HONDA'S EXPENXE NOT MY OWN. THE AIRBAG LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF AT WILL WHEN MOVING, ON CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY, TURNING OR GOING STRAIGHT. THE SUN VISOR DOES NOT GO OUT OF MY LINE OF SIGHT AS A RESULT OF THE FAILURE. THIS TOO HAPPENS ANYTIME, ANY WHERE, AT ANY SPEED, AND ON ANY ROAD.

TAKATA RECALL AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO., INC. (HONDA) IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2006-2011 HONDA CIVIC VEHICLES. ACCORDING TO THE EQUIPMENT DEFECT NOTIFICATIONS (16E-042 AND 16E-043) FILED BY TAKATA, THE PROPELLANT WAFERS IN SOME OF THE SUBJECT INFLATORS MAY DEGRADE OVER TIME, WHICH COULD LEAD TO OVER-AGGRESSIVE COMBUSTION IN THE EVENT THE AIRBAG IS ACTIVATED. OVERLY AGGRESSIVE COMBUSTION CREATES EXCESSIVE INTERNAL PRESSURE WHEN THE INFLATOR IS ACTIVATED, WHICH MAY CAUSE THE INFLATOR BODY TO RUPTURE. HONDA SUGGESTS THAT YOU AVOID HAVING A PASSENGER SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SEAT UNTIL THE RECALL REPAIR HAS BEEN PERFORMED. THERE HAS NOT BEEN AN ACCIDENT OR CRASH, BUT I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM MY INSURANCE COMPANY ASKING ME TO LOOK TO SEE IF THIS CAR WAS AFFECTED BY THE RECALL. SHOULD I BE REPLACING THE AIRBAGS IN THIS CAR? *TR

TAKATA RECALL - I RECEIVED A LETTER DURING THE SUMMER (2016) SAYING THAT MY AUTOMOBILE WAS NOW ON A RECALL FOR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND THAT I SHOULD NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. THE LETTER STATED THAT I WOULD RECEIVE A SECOND LETTER GIVING FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS, BUT NO LETTER WAS EVER RECEIVED. IT IS VERY INCONVENIENT AS WELL AS A LITTLE FRIGHTENING HAVING NO RECOURSE AT THIS POINT. I WOULD APPRECIATE SOME FEEDBACK AS TO A TIME THAT A REMEDY WILL BE BEING PUT IN PLACE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TAKATA RECALL - FIRST RECEIVED NOTICE OF THIS RECALL IN MAY OF 2016. IT IS NOW COMING UP ON JANUARY OF 2017 (SEVEN MONTHS LATTER) AND I HAVE NOT HAD ANY FURTHER COMMUNICATION ABOUT GETTING THIS DEFECT CORRECTED. WHEN CAN I EXPECT THIS TO HAPPEN?

TAKATA RECALL ON AUGUST 19, 2016, WE TOOK OUR HONDA TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE AIRBAG INFLATOR REPLACED UNDER THE RECALL. OUR DEALER RAN INTO A PROBLEM WITH A MOUNTING BOLT (APPARENTLY A BOLT WAS CROSS-THREADED AND TWISTED OFF). A CALL TO HONDA AMERICA CONFIRMED THE ENTIRE AIR BAG WOULD THEN HAVE TO BE REPLACED. OUR DEALER ORDERED THE PART THAT DAY. AND HAS OF THIS WRITING NOT YET RECEIVED THE AIR BAG FROM HONDA AMERICA. OUR DEALER GAVE US A LOANER CAR FOR TWO MONTHS, BUT THEN TOOK IT BACK AND GAVE US OUR CAR BACK, WITHOUT A FRONT PASSENGER-SIDE AIRBAG, ON OCTOBER 31, WITH INSTRUCTIONS TO NOT PUT A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT. (IN ORDER TO GET MY CAR BACK, I HAD TO SIGN A STATEMENT ON THE WORK ORDER SAYING I HAD REFUSED A REPAIR, BUT I WAS NOT OFFERED A REPAIR TO REFUSE. I HAD TO SIGN THE WORK ORDER OR NOT GET MY CAR BACK.) JUST PRIOR TO THE DEALER CALLING AND TAKING THE LOANER BACK, I WROTE A LETTER TO HONDA AMERICA ABOUT THE DELAY IN DELIVERING THE REPLACEMENT AIRBAG. I HAVE RECEIVED NO REPLY. SO IT HAS BEEN FOUR AND ONE-HALF MONTHS MY CAR HAS BEEN WAITING ON A REPLACEMENT AIR BAG. AS FAR AS I CAN TELL, THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH HONDA AMERICA; I BELIEVE MY DEALER HAS ACTED IN GOOD FAITH.

I RECEIVED A LETTER IN JULY 2016 (OFFICIAL DATE MAY 23, 2016) DETAILING AN IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL ON MY 2006 HONDA CIVIC. THE PROBLEM IS THAT "THE PROPELLANT WAFERS IN SOME OF THE SUBJECT INFLATORS MAY DEGRADE OVER TIME, WHICH COULD LEAD TO OVER-AGGRESSIVE COMBUSTION IN THE EVENT THE AIRBAG IS ACTIVATED." THE LETTER GOES ON TO EXPLAIN THAT THIS COULD CAUSE METAL FRAGMENTS TO PASS THROUGH THE AIRBAG CUSHION AND HARM THE VEHICLE OCCUPANT. THE ONLY OPTION GIVEN IN THE LETTER IS TO AVOID HAVING A PASSENGER SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SEAT UNTIL THE RECALL REPAIR HAS BEEN PERFORMED.

TAKATA RECALL - I'VE BEEN DEALING WITH HONDA'S CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT SINCE THE MIDDLE OF JUNE. BOTH MY BOYFRIEND AND I LIVE TOGETHER. WE BOTH DRIVE THE SAME CAR MAKE AND MODEL BUT HIS IS AN '07. WE BOTH HAVE RECALLS ON OUR PASSENGER AIRBAGS AND WE HAVE A SWITCH THAT INDICATES WHEN NOBODY IS THE PASSENGER SEAT IT SHUTS OFF THE AIRBAG. UNFORTUNATELY, BOTH OF OUR VEHICLES DON'T DO THAT, THE LIGHT NEVER INDICATED THAT THE AIRBAG IS SHUT OFF AND THAT MEANS THAT THE AIRBAG IS STILL ACTIVE. SO IN OTHER WORDS IF WE GET HIT, EVEN THOUGH NOBODY IS IN THE SEAT, OUR PASSENGER AIRBAGS ARE GOING OFF. IVE SPOKEN TO SEVERAL PEOPLE REGARDING THIS AND EVEN SUBMITTED PHOTOS. FINALLY, THEY CALLED ME REGARDING ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION ON 8/15 BUT TODAY, 8/16, MY CASE MANAGER YVONNE, STATED THAT I WAS DENIED ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION. I LOVE THAT HONDA THINKS THIS IS A GAME. IN OTHER WORDS, MY BOYFRIEND AND I ARE NOT GOING TO TAKE SEPARATE CARS TO THE GROCERY STORE OR WHEN WE GO OUT OF TOWN. WE CARPOOL AND I TRIED TO EXPLAIN THAT TO THE CASE MANAGER AND SEVERAL PEOPLE BUT I GUESS MY BOYFRIEND'S LIFE OR MY LIFE DON'T REALLY MATTER TO THEM. MY CASE MANAGER YVONNE, STATED THAT SHE IS ORDERING A PART TO FIX MY AIRBAG LIGHT AND I MAY HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THIS REPAIR. I WONDER WHEN THIS WILL EVEN COME IN BY THEN MY AIRBAG MAY GO OFF WITHOUT WARNING OR WHAT IF I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. BELOW, I HAVE SUBMITTED PHOTOS OF MY CAR WHILE IT'S ON AND AS YOU CAN SEE THE LIGHT IS OFF WHEN IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE ON.

NHTSA RECALL 16V-346: I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM HONDA INFORMING ME OF A SAFETY RECALL INVOLVING THE PROPELLANT WAFERS IN THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG OF MY VEHICLE THAT COULD CAUSE INJURY TO A VEHICLE OCCUPANT. HONDA IS NOT OFFERING TO PROVIDE ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION, THE LETTER STATES THAT UNTIL PARTS ARE AVAILABLE TO MAKE A REPAIR LATER IN THE SUMMER I SHOULD NOT HAVE ANYONE SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. THIS IS OUR FAMILY CAR, MY YOUNG DAUGHTER SITS IN THE BACK SEAT BEHIND THE PASSENGER SEAT, WE OFTEN HAVE A SECOND CHILD IN THE BACK OF THE CAR, AND A LARGE DOG. WE CAN'T POSSIBLY AVOID USING THE PASSENGER SEAT WHEN THE BACK SEAT IS FULL, AND OUR OTHER CAR IS TOO SMALL TO ACCOMMODATE EVERYONE. WHEN I REQUESTED A RENTAL CAR FROM MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR THE PERIOD UNTIL THE REPAIRS WERE MADE, IT WAS DENIED. I CONTACTED HONDA AND HAD TO SUBMIT A REQUEST FOR ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION AND WAS TOLD A CASE WORKER WOULD CONTACT ME IN 2 WEEKS OR SO. I THINK THIS IS ALL ABSURD. THEY ARE IMPLYING THAT AN AIRBAG RECALL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IS NOT AS HAZARDOUS AS ONE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE, AND ALSO THAT A REASONABLE SOLUTION IS TO JUST NOT USE THE PASSENGER SEAT. THIS IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE RESPONSE, AND IT HAS LEFT MY FAMILY IN DANGER UNTIL THE REPAIRS CAN BE MADE, WHENEVER THAT WILL BE. NO ESTIMATED TIME LINE HAS BEEN GIVEN.

TAKATA RECALL. WE WERE RECENTLY NOTIFIED OF COVERAGE IN THE AIRBAG RECALL AND RECEIVED THE INSTRUCTION TO AVOID HAVING A PASSENGER SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SEAT UNTIL THE (CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE) REPAID HAS BEEN PERFORMED. THIS CAUSED ME TO NOTICE THAT THE "PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF" INDICATOR WAS NOT ILLUMINATING EVEN WHEN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT IS EMPTY.

VANESSA ROBINSON, WHO TOLD ME MY ONLY RECOURSE WAS TO BRING MY CAR IN FOR SERVICING TO A DEALER AT MY OWN EXPENSE TO HAVE THE AIRBAG INDICATOR CHECKED. I THINK I CAN REASONABLY TAKE THE CAR'S USER DISPLAY AT FACE VALUE, SUGGESTING THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE SENSOR CAUSING THE AIRBAG TO REMAIN ACTIVE, SUCH THAT HONDA SHOULD PROVIDE AN INTERIM MECHANISM TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM AS PART OF THE RECALL.

MY CAR WAS AT HALT AT A TRAFFIC RED LIGHT AND A RAM 1500 VAN WHOSE BRAKES FAILED TO APPLY BUMPED INTO MY CAR FROM BEHIND, WHICH CAUSED MY CAR TO ALSO COLLIDE WITH THE CAR IN FRONT. THIS CAUSED SEVERE DAMAGE TO MY CAR, BOTH IN FRONT AND BACK AND THE AIR BAG SIGNS WENT ON AND THE SEAT BELT RETRACTED BUT THE AIR BAGS DID NOT GET DEPLOYED INSPITE OF SUCH SEVERE IMPACT. *TR

I RECENTLY HAD MY AIR BAG LIGHT COME ON. CAR WAS NOT IN AN ACCIDENT. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER PAID 115.00 FOR A SRS DIAGNOSTIC. THEY SAID THAT THE PASSENGER SEAT WEIGHT SENSOR WAS FAULTY AND WAS NOT RECEIVING ANY SIGNAL. THEY RECOMMENDED REPLACING THE PASSENGER OUTER AND INNER WEIGHT SENSOR AT A WHOPPING COST OF NEARLY 900.00 THIS MANUFACTURING SAFETY FAILURE IS APPARENTLY NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THEY COVERED MY FAILING PAINT JOB ONE YEAR AGO BUT FAIL TO COVER A SAFETY ISSUE THAT IF IN AN ACCIDENT WILL NOT DEPLOY MY PASSENGERS AIRBAG AND ALSO WONT LOCK THE SEAT BELT PUTTING ANYBODY IN THAT SEAT AT GRAVE DANGER. SINCE THE SENSOR IS FAULTY AND DOES NOT DETECT ANYONE SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. OTHER CIVIC OWNERS SEEM TO BE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. HOW CAN ONE GET THE DEALER TO OWN UP TO ITS PRODUCT AND REPLACE ITS FAULTY SAFETY EQUIPMENT IN THEIR VEHICLES. SMH *TR

LAST EVENING 5/28/2014 AT 10:10 PM MY WIFE AND I WERE RUNNING AN ERRAND WHEN A DRIVER FROM ANOTHER VEHICLE PULLED BLINDLY ACROSS 2 LANES OF TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF US. DUE TO THE FACT A SEMI TRACTOR TRAILER COMBINATION WAS IN THE LEFT HAND LANE, STOPPED, I WAS UNABLE TO SEE ANY VEHICLE IN THE SUICIDE LANE UNTIL HE WAS IN MY LANE OF TRAVEL. WE WERE DRIVING AT APPROX 35 MPH WHEN THE COLLISION OCCURRED. MY 2006 HONDA CIVIC COUPE HIT A LATE 2000'S JEEP WRANGLER. IMPACT AREA WAS TO THE RIGHT FRONT OF MY VEHICLE AND THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL AREA OF THE OTHER VEHICLE. THE SEAT BELTS WORKED AS DESIGNED, BUT NEITHER AIRBAG WENT OFF. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE CAR AND THE LATERAL ACCELEROMETER ON THE RIGHT FRONT IS HANGING. THIS SYSTEM WAS FULLY OPERATIONAL, AND HAD NO CODES STORED IN THE SDM NOR ANY LIGHTS ON THE DASH. THE IMPACT WAS LESS THAN 6 INCHES FROM THE SENSOR. MY QUERY IS TO WHY THE BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. SPEED SHOULD HAVE BEEN GREAT ENOUGH TO CAUSE DEPLOYMENT, AS WELL AS THE AREA OF IMPACT. *TR

6/2013 CAR ACCIDENT I HIT A PARKED CAR TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 20-25 MILES PER HOUR. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE COMPANY CHOSEN TO DO THE WORK (CUSTOM INNOVATIONS IN EUGENE, OREGON) DID NOT REPAIR THE MOTOR MOUNTS. WHICH IM VERY UPSET ABOUT AND TRYING TO DEAL WITH. AFTER HAVING THE WORK DONE THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO HONDA (KENDALL HONDA ALSO IN EUGENE, OREGON) TO HAVE AN ASSESSMENT OF MY CAR DIAGNOSED. THE WAS THE MOTOR MOUNT ISSUE AND OTHER ITEMS OIL CHANGE, TRANSMISSION FLUSH AND THE SRS LIGHT WAS ON. HONDA SERVICE DEPT. COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE SRS AND SAID THEY WOULD GET BACK TO ME. THEY NEVER DID. APPROX 1MO. DIAGNOSIS AT HONDA, I WAS SITTING IN A PARK PARKING LOT CHARGING MY PHONE IN THE CAR WITH IT IN THE ACCESSORY POSITION. I HAD BEEN THERE ABOUT 10 MINUTES WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG IN THE SEAT AND THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAG DEPLOYED. SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF ME AND MY DOG. I SUFFERED MINOR CUTS, ABRASIONS AND SEVERE BRUISING TO MY LEFT ELBOW AND TRICEP. I IMMEDIATELY WENT TO HONDA. IT WAS A SUNDAY SO ONLY THE SALES TEAM WAS THERE. I WENT AGAIN ON MONDAY ONLY TO BE SENT AWAY, WITH A WE WILL CALL YOU.....VERY DISMISSIVE AND VAGUE. THEN AFTER CALLING 5-6 TIMES THEY FINALLY SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT TO LOOK INTO IT. AFTERWARDS, THEY DIDN'T HAVE MUCH TO TELL ME EXCEPT THAT IT WOULD COST ME THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO REPAIR AND NO THEY DIDN'T HAVE AN ANSWER FOR WHY THE AIRBAGS WENT OFF. ESSENTIALLY I FEEL THAT THE AIRBAGS SHOULD BE REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE IN ADDITION TO THE SRS SENSORS ALL BEING REPLACED BECAUSE I HAVE A FEELING THIS WAS ALL DUE TO THE RECALL ON THE PASSENGER SEAT OCCUPANT DETECTION SYSTEM.....WHICH I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT NOR HAVE IT CHECKED PRIOR TO ANY OF THE MENTIONS EVENTS. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THERE IS A CHANCE THE OTHER AIRBAGS MAY DEPLOY AT RANDOM. I ALSO WOULD LIKE MY CAR TO HAVE ALL THE RECALLS COMPLETED. *TR

THAT SAME DAY, I DROVE TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP, THE SERVIDE DEPARTMENT OF WHICH TOLD ME THAT ALL THEY COULD DO WAS RESET THE LIGHT BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT READ THE CODE. THE SERVICE GUY THEN TOLD ME THAT IN THE EVENT THE LIGHT COMES BACK ON, THEN I WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE AIRBAGS. DURING THAT TIME, THE LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND OFF. WHEN OFF, THE LIGHT WOULD COME ON WHENEVER I DROVE OVER AN UNEVEN TERRAIN. I WENT TO YET ANOTHER DEALERSHIP WHO COULD NOT TELL ME ANYTHING SUBSTANTIAL ABOUT THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THE LIGHT WAS OFF WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR IN. AROUND MID-JUNE, THE SRS LIGHT STARTED COMING AND STAYING ON. I CALLED HONDA THIS MORNING TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANY RECALL AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL RELATED TO THIS ISSUE AND THAT I CANNOT BE HELPED. I AM TAKING MY CAR IN AGAIN TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, SO THAT AT LEAST I CAN PINPOINT THE ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE IN THAT IT APPEARS THAT WITH THIS LIGHT ON, MY AIRBAG SYSTEM IS DISABLED. IN THE EVENT I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT, I WILL NOT BE PROTECTED. THIS IS ESSENTIALLY DISTURBING BECAUSE MY AIRBAGS HAVE NEVER DEPLOYED SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW.

THE SIDE AND SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS DEPLOYED IN MY 2006 HONDA CIVIC EX COUPE ON THE NIGHT OF FRIDAY, JANUARY 9, 2009 WHEN MY FIANCEE SHUT THE DOOR. I WAS STILL INSIDE, ABOUT TO GET OUT. IT SOUNDED LIKE AN M18 GOING OFF. I COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT HAD HAPPENED. MY CAR WAS TURNED OFF, NONETHELESS! I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THAT I BOUGHT IT FROM ON MONDAY MORNING (AS THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS CLOSED ON THE WEEKEND), AND THEY WERE GOING TO CHARGE ME A $95 DIAGNOSTIC FEE EVEN THOUGH MY CAR IS STILL UNDER 36,000 BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. I BROUGHT IT TO ANOTHER HONDA DEALERSHIP, WHERE IS STILL SITTING, BECAUSE I AM IN A CATCH 22. HONDA CLAIMS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE AIRBAG SENSORS; THEY ARE NOT DEFECTIVE. I FILED AN OFFICIAL COMPLAINT WITH HONDA AMERICA AND THEY TOLD ME TO CONSULT MY INSURANCE. MY INSURANCE DOESN'T SEE HOW THEY CAN COVER IT. EVEN WITH AN ATTORNEY, A HONDA REPRESENTATIVE TO THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT HONDA WILL NOT PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. APPARENTLY, THEY ASSUME I AM LYING WHEN THERE IS CLEARLY NO PHYSICAL EVIDENCE OF AN IMPACT, AND IT IS PERFECTLY ACCEPTABLE FOR AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY WHEN CAR DOORS ARE TUGGED OR SLAMMED, EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS NOT RUNNING AND KEYS ARE NOT IN THE IGNITION. IT HAPPENS EVERYDAY! THE TECHNICIANS AT THE DEALERSHIP CONTRIVED AN ABSURD IDEA THAT MY FIANCE AND I MUST HAVE BEEN PLAYING TUG - OF - WAR WITH THE CAR DOOR (ME ON THE INSIDE AND HE ON THE OUTSIDE OR VISE VERSA). IF THAT WERE THE CASE, ONE OF US WOULD BE BATTERED AND BRUISED. I ARRIVE AT MY POINT. EVEN IF THE DOOR HAD BEEN SLAMMED, OR BEEN THE OBSTACLE IN A GAME OF TUG OF WAR, IT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY SPONTANEOUSLY! IF SOMEONE HAD BEEN SITTING IN THE PASSENGER'S SEAT WHEN THIS HAPPENED, I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED. WHAT IF MY FUTURE STEPSON OR STEPDAUGHTER WERE IN THE SEAT? I AM APPALLED AND FRUSTRATED (TO SAY THE LEAST) WITH HONDA'S LACK OF RESPONSIBILITY AND I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER HONDA AGAIN (AND I HAVE ALWAYS OWNED ONE). *TR

THE INITIAL INSPECTION FROM THE DEALERSHIP, WHERE PURCHASED ,(HONDA OF LISE) OR THE EVENTUAL REPAIR SHOP WHO WAS RECOMMENDED BY HARTFORD INSURANCE COULD FIND NO REASON FOR THE DEPLOYMENT. THE ONLY COMMENT FROM HONDA OF AMERICA WAS THAT IT WAS NOT A "DEFECT", NO CAUSE WAS GIVEN BY ANY HONDA ASSOCIATE AT ANY TIME. THE REPAIR SHOP (TERRY'S IN FRANKFORT IL), WAS VERY CONCERNED BECAUSE RELOADING THE AIR BAGS WAS NOT AN ISSUE, BUT KNOWING WHETHER THE CAUSE WAS RESOLVED WAS AN ISSUE WITH THEM. THEY ARE A CERTIFIED SHOP WITH HARTFORD INSURANCE. THE VEHICLE HAD ONLY 27,300 MILES AND WAS LESS THAN 3 YEARS OLD. LUCKILY THE INCIDENT OCCURRED AT A VERY LOW RATE OF SPEED (5 - 10 MPH), AFTER PULLING AWAY FROM A STOP SIGN. SEVERAL WEEK EARLIER WE HAD DRIVEN FROM FLORIDA TO CHICAGO WITH NO INCIDENTS. HAD THIS HAPPENED IN A 70 MILE PER HOUR ZONE, WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE CONSEQUENCES? I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND HAVE SEEN THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL. I HAVE TO ASK IF THIS HAD HAPPENED AT 60 OR 70 MILES AN HOUR - WHO WOULD KNOW WHAT HAPPENED FIRST - THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT OR THE ACCIDENT? I HAVE TO ADMIT, AT THAT HIGH OF A SPEED - I DON'T KNOW WHETHER I WOULD KNOW FOR SURE. WHEN THOSE AIR BAGS DEPLOY, THE NOISE IS DEAFENING, THE CAR FILLS WITH GAS AND IN MY CASE - BECAUSE MY ARM WAS ON THE ARM REST, THE BACK OF THE SEAT GIVES YOUR ARM A VERY PAINFUL WHACK. NOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN IT GOES OFF ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AT HIGH SPEED??? I FURTHER QUESTION WHETHER THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THE PAST, AND PEOPLE HAVE LOST THEIR LIVES? WHO WOULD BE THE WISER? A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT WHERE THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED, PEOPLE WERE KILLED, BUT NOT IN THE SUSPECTED OR ASSUMED SEQUENCE. WHO WOULD BE LEFT TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONS? I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT HAD THIS HAPPENED AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS THAT I MAY NOT KNOW WHICH HAPPENED FIRST - THE ACCIDENT OR THE AIR BAGS. THANKS. *TR

APPROX IN THE MONTH OF DECEMBER 2006 MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER TO INSPECT THE DEFECT. WAS NOTIFIED EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL AND WHEN I LEFT THE DEALER THE LIGHT WAS NO LONGER ON. ON JULY 21, 2007 THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED WHILE CLOSING THE PASSENGER DOOR, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT RUNNING. THE CURTAIN AND SEAT BOTH DEPLOYED. FOLLOWED UP WITH AN APPOINTMENT AT POMPANO HONDA. SERVICE MANAGER INFORMED ME IT SHOULD BE COVERED BY AMERICAN HONDA DUE TO SAFETY ISSUES. THE REP CAME INTO THE DEALER TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE AND DENIED THE CLAIM. HE SAID THAT THE DEPLOYMENT WAS DUE TO IMPACT IN ON MY BUMPER WHICH PREVIOUSLY HAPPENED A YEAR PRIOR TO THE DEPLOYMENT. I SINCE THEN HAVE HAD TO PAY $1500.00 TO COVER THE REPAIR. I FEEL AS IF THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED THROUGH AMERICAN HONDA AS A SAFETY ISSUE DEFECT. I AM REFERRING TO YOU FOR POSSIBLE ASSISTANCE IN REVIEWING THIS ISSUE ON MY BEHALF. HONDA WOULD NOT ALLOW ME ACCESS TO MY SERVICE FILE AND PHOTOGRAPHS THE REP TOOK OF MY VEHICLE, WHICH DENIED MY CLAIM. POMPANO HONDA TOLD ME THE PHOTOGRAPHS WERE PROPERTY OF HONDA. I HAVE TAKEN PICTURES ON THE ALLEGED BUMPER DAMAGE WHICH THEY CONTEND CREATED THE DEPLOYMENT. PLEASE CONTACT ME FOR FURTHER ASSISTANCE. *TR

ON NOVEMBER 19TH, 2007 I WAS COMING HOME FROM WORK ALONE IN MY 2006 HONDA CIVIC EX ON A DIRT ROAD. I WAS NOT SPEEDING AND I WAS WEARING MY SEATBELT. I CHOSE A DIFFERENT ROUTE FROM MY NORMAL ROUTE AND MISSED THE S CURVE IN THE ROAD. MY CAR WENT TO THE DITCH ROUGHLY 3 FEET DEEP ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, HITTING THE DRIVERS FRONT, ROLLING THE CAR ONE TIME, LANDING ON THE WHEELS AND I PUT THE BRAKES ON, PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNED OFF THE CAR. I THEN GOT OUT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR BECAUSE THE DRIVER SIDE WAS SMASHED COMPLETELY DOWN NOT ALLOWING ME TO GET OUT OF THE CAR OR THE WINDOW. I COULD NOT FIND MY CELL PHONE AND WENT AND LOOKED INTO THE FIELD AND FOUND WHERE MY CAR ROLLED AND FOUND THE PHONE WITH THE GLASS FROM MY WINDOW. I THEN CALLED 911 AND WAITED FOR ASSISTANCE. I WAS TRANSPORTED TO SIDNEY, NE WHERE AFTER A CATSCAN THEY FOUND THAT I HAD A BROKEN NECK IN 2 PLACES C6 AND C7. THEY THEN TRANSFERRED ME BY AMBULANCE TO FORT COLLINS, COLORADO WHERE I HAD SURGERY TO FUSE THE BROKEN VERTEBRAE. I AM NOW OUT OF WORK AND OUT OF A VEHICLE FOR NOW UNTIL I AM HEALED. I CALLED HONDA WORRIED THAT NONE OF THE AIRBAGS WENT OFF, ONE OF THE REASONS I BOUGHT THIS CAR WAS BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY RATING BECAUSE I WANTED MY FAMILY TO BE SAFE IN ANY EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. HONDA AFTER I CALLED THEM BACK 2 TIMES FINALLY TOLD ME THAT (CASE# N012007-11-2900916) HONDA DOES NOT DESIGN THEIR AIRBAGS TO GO OFF IN THE EVENT OF A ROLLOVER. FUNNY HOW WHEN I DID MY RESEARCH 1 OUT OF 4 PEOPLE ARE KILLED IN A ROLLOVER. WHY WOULDN'T THAT BE A SAFETY CONCERN?? SO NEEDLESS TO SAY THERE IS NOTHING DONE TO FIX THE SITUATION. *TR

I BOUGHT MY 2006 HONDA CIVIC EX COUPE BRAND NEW IN NOVEMBER 2005, PROBLEMS STARTED TO OCCUR SHORTLY AFTERWARDS FOR INSTANCE THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAD A MALFUNCTION AND RECALLED THE DEALER DIDN'T FIX IT THE FIRST TIME, VERY INCONVENIENT, BRAKE PEDAL WAS FIXED BEFORE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE, THERE WAS A RECALL ON THAT AS WELL BECAUSE COULD FALL OFF AND CAUSE A CRASH. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO HONDA SERVICE TO GET PROBLEMS FIXED AND NUMEROUS TIMES, BEEN TOLD THAT ITS NORMAL OR SOME OTHER ?!@#$% THEY ALWAYS GAVE ME THE RUN AROUND,THE SERVICE PEOPLE ARE RUDE, MEAN AND INCOMPETENT AND IGNORANT. I HAVE TAKEN MY 06 CIVIC IN A TOTAL OF 8-10 TIMES NOW TO FIX PROBLEMS THEY NEVER FIX ANYTHING! INTERIOR TRIM IS POOR/POOR ALTERING FROM THE FACTORY, PANELS LOOSE AND POPPING OUT INTERIOR SCRATCHES TOO EASILY/FRAGILE CHEAPLY MADE ?!@#$% (STILL), FRONT DRIVERS SEAT WONT RETRACT ALL THE WAY BACK ANYMORE LIKE IT USED TO (NEW) WEATHER STRIPPING IS LIFTING UP BY FRONT WINDSHIELD (STILL) VARIOUS RATTLES FROM INTERIOR (STILL), UNDERCOATING/UNDER BODY SPRAY FROM FACTORY IS PEELING COMPLETELY OFF (NEW) DOOR PANEL FLEXES AND RPMS RISE WHEN USING WINDOWS/NOW SEEMS TO ROLL UP/DOWN SLOWER THAN BEFORE (STILL/NEW) KEEP IN MIND IM ONLY AT 11,000 MILES TOO! HONDA AND TOYOTAS QUALITY IS GOING DOWNHILL VERY FAST ESPECIALLY WITH THE CIVIC, CRV, RDX, MDX, CAMRY, TUNDRA, HIGHLANDER, LANDCRUISER, YARIS, AND RAV4. THE LAST YEAR BEFORE THE REDESIGN OF THESE VEHICLES THE QUALITY WAS GREAT, NOW IT SEEMS LIKE HONDA AND TOYOTA ARE EITHER TEAMING UP TOGETHER OR COMPETING TO SEE WHO CAN MAKE THE CHEAPEST AND ?!@#$% VEHICLE WITH CHEAPLY MADE MATERIALS AND TAKING SHORTCUTS, CHANGED A SUPPLIERS OR SOMETHING, THESE PROBLEMS ARE UNACCEPTABLE FOR A NEW VEHICLE. *TR

MY SON GOT OUT OF A FRIENDS CAR AND SLAMMED THE DOOR AND THE SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. IT'S A 2 DOOR 2006 HONDA CIVIC. HONDA SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AND IT DOES NOT FALL UNDER WARRANTY. THE AIR BAGS AND HEADLINER ARE HAVING TO BE REPLACED ,BUT I FEEL THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE. HONDA KEPT THE OLD PARTS. *NM

I OWN A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. THIS CAR IS EQUIPTED WITH A COMPLEX WEIGHT SENSOR SYSTEM WHICH ARMS/DISARMS THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS. WHEN THE CAR LEFT THE FACTORY THE SYSTEM WAS DEFECTIVE. AFTER ONE ROUND OF RECALL WORK, THE SYSTEM WAS STILL DEFFECTIVE. I DO NOT BELEIVE THE COMPANY HAS ANY CLEAR IDEA HOW TO MAKE THIS COMPLEX SYSTEM FUNCTION IN A RELIABLE MANNER. I WANT THEM TO FIX THE SYSTEM SO THAT THE AIR BAGS ARE ARMED ALL THE TIME. HONDA REFUSES TO ALLOW THIS TO BE DONE. MY PASSENGER'S SAFETY IS BEING COMPROMISED BECAUSE THEY REFUSE TO TURN ON THE ARIR BAGS ALL THE TIME.

THE CAR IS A NEW HONDA CIVIC LX WITH LESS THAN 650 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. WHEN I AM A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT, THE AIRBAG SYSTEM WARNING INDICATOR LIGHT COMES ON. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AT 400+ MILES AND WAS TOLD IT WAS CAUSED BY ELECTRONIC INSTRUMENT INTERFERENCE - POSSIBLY A CELL PHONE. THE FAULT CODE WAS CLEARED AND THE LIGHT WENT OUT. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM REMAINS - ONLY WHEN I AM A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT TURNS ON. I AM A 6'3" MAIL AND WEIGH 300 LBS. SMALLER, LIGHTER PEOPLE DO NOT SEEM TO CAUSE THE WARNING LIGHT TO REGISTER. I STRONGLY SUSPECT THERE IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT WITH AN AIRBAG SENSOR IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. I CONSIDER THIS A MAJOR SAFETY DEFECT. *JB
