2014 HONDA CIVIC Air Bags Problems

About a year ago, the transmission failed costing us nearly $5000 to fix it. This incident happened approximately April of 2022, no warning signs at all. Now, the airbag deployed while merging onto the freeway without any impact which was the scariest thing. I’m very concerned there are other issues. There were no warning signs on both incidents.

Vehicle dashboard indicated that Airbag intermediately had issues and service was needed. Vehicle taken to dealership and had to have failing airbag replaced.

Air bag light came on like 1 year ago. I had the dealership do the diagnostic on the car. They said it was cable relay. They said estimate to repair was over $2000. I have contacted Honda Goodwill department and after several emails and phone calls they gave me an option to pay $100 and they cover the rest. I have agreed. They have replaced cable relay and everything was fine. About a month later the airbag light came back on. I went to the dealership for diagnostics and they said that its the driver side airbag that is defective and that they recommended it to be replaced. Cost with labor $1100. I wrote to Honda Goodwill again but the said they only did a one time courtesy and that i am responsible for the future expenses. The car has never been in an accident and its not my fault that there is an airbag issue. Im afraid of my and my family’s safety when i drive the car. Please help.

The car crashed into the back of the truck in front of it. The crash caused the airbag to go off and either the airbag itself or the area that covers the steering wheel cut my wife’s jaw/throat. She was luck it did not cut her artery or wind pipe she was able to be transported to the hospital and survived.

While I was driving, a truck hit me from behind causing a 5 car accident. My car was unable to be driven from the scene. The radiator and front collision bar are very bent in, however my airbags did not deploy. The truck was going 60 mph when it hit me hard enough to cause another 3 cars to have damage. This is a potential issue for others and currently I have very bad neck and head pain from the accident. My car had a warning screen saying “check airbag system” after the accident.

The specific part is the driver side airbag inflater which is causing the airbag system to fail. The repair has not been done on the vehicle yet. According to the dealer, when the indicator light triggers, none of the airbags will inflate in an accident. After February 1, 2023 the airbag indicator is activated every time the car is driven. The car was taken to the local dealer at the end of March 2023. The service adviser said the resistance is out of tolerance for the air bag causing the entire airbag system to fail.

I was involved in a multi vehicle crash on the highway at a high rate of speed, approximately 50mph. I was hit from behind and hit the car in front of me totaling my car. My airbags did not deploy and I hit the steering wheel upon impact and suffered 4 compression fractures in my T1-T4 vertebrae. The doctor stated that if my airbags would have deployed I would not have suffered the neck fractures that I did.

A message comes up on my dash to check airbag system.I brought it to the Honda dealership in Mobile,Al. for a diagnostic.I was told that my driver airbag needs to be replaced.

The airbag lights come one and comes off periodically. The Honda Motors refused to address the issue. This car 's current audiometer reading is 51500 miles

Air Bag warning light intermittently coming on. Has become more frequent. Started at 60,000 miles, infrequent at first but now at 80,000 mile on almost all the time. Brought it in to be checked and at that time warning light was off. Was told it was a safety issue since airbags would not deploy if light was illuminated when in a collision

MY 2014 HONDA CIVIC EX JUST STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE AIRBAG WARNING NOTIFICATION GOING OFF SPORADICALLY. I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALER AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AFTER RUNNING IT THROUGH THE COMPUTER. IT WENT OFF FOR A LITTLE BIT AND NOW IT GOES ON AND OFF WITH OR WITHOUT PEOPLE SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SIT. I HAPPEN ONLY ONCE I START DRIVING AND IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I'M SITTING AT A LIGHT TO MOVING. I'VE NOTICED THAT OTHER HONDA'S HAVE HAD SIMILIAR PROBLEMS WHEN SEARCHING THE NET. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS WILL IMPACT THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAG IF I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT EITHER. I BELIEVE IT'S A SEAT SENSOR GONE BAD BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT. I'VE ALREADY BEEN TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW.

RECALL NOTICE SENT BY MAIL

DEAR HONDA AMERICAN, I HAVE WRITTEN TO YOU A NUMBER OF TIMES REGARDING THE SAFETY NOTICES. EITHER YOU ARE UNABLE, OR UNWILLING, TO READ MY NOTES REGARDING THE HONDA CIVIC EX ([XXX]), DESTROYED IN A CAR ACCIDENT IN SEPTEMBER 2014. THE AIR BAG - PASSENGER SIDE - EXPLODED IN A COLLISION AND TOOK OUT THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. MY AIR BAG - DRIVE SIDE - NEVER DEPLOYED!! I WAS INJURED AND REQUIRED EXTENSIVE PHYSICAL THERAPY. I AM STILL IN PAIN FROM THE ACCIDENT. EVERY DAY. MY DOG, DAYZ, INSIDE A SAFETY-BELTED-INTO-PLACE DOG CARRIER, WAS INJURED. WITHIN TWO WEEKS OF THE ACCIDENT, SHE BEGAN HAVING SEIZURES. AS A RESULT OF THE ACCIDENT. WE HAD TO PUT HER TO SLEEP AT THE END OF OCTOBER 2014. I REPEATEDLY TRIED TO HAVE THE AIR BAGS REPLACED BEFORE THE ACCIDENT. THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIPS WERE UNHELPFUL AND UNCOOPERATIVE. THEY ARE BY THE FAR AND AWAY THE ABSOLUTE WORST WHEN IT COMES TO CUSTOMER SERVICE. THE WORD "PROACTIVE" HAS NEVER ENTERED INTO THEIR VOCABULARY. IN FACT, I WOULD NOT PURCHASE A SECOND HONDA BECAUSE THEY WERE SUCH MORONIC IDIOTS. YOUR CARS MAY BE THE CREAM OF THE CROP IN JAPAN, BUT HERE IN THE USA, WE EXPECT GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE TO ACCOMPANY THE PURCHASE OF A CAR. WHICH IS SEVERELY LACKING IN ANY OF YOUR LOCAL DEALERSHIPS. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THE PURCHASE OF A HONDA TO ANYONE BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE WITH THE LOCAL DEALERSHIPS. PLEASE DO NOT SEND ME ANY MORE LITERATURE. ABOUT TRADING IN MY CAR. ABOUT A SAFETY RECALL. NOTHING. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE GALANT WAS GOING AT A SPEED OF 55 MPH WHEN IT HIT ME, THE FORCE WAS GREAT THAT THE CARS THEN SMACKED TOGETHER AND SPRANG OUT AGAIN. I NOTICE THAT THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY; SIDE OR EVEN FRONT. I CALLED MY PARENTS. THE FLORIDA HIGHWAY PATROL ARRIVED. FIVE MINUTES LATER MY PARENTS ARRIVED. THE JSO AND FHP THEN IGNORED ME FOR 20 MINUTES, WHILE THEY TALKED WITH THE OTHER DRIVER. DAMAGE WAS FRONT DRIVER SIDE WHEEL WAS BENT SLIGHTLY IN-WARD AT AN ANGLE, AXLE ROD AND STRUT SHOT, WHEEL WELL HAD DE-WELDED FROM THE MAIN BODY. CRUMPLED AROUND THE DRIVER SIDE WHEEL, DRIVER SIDE DOORS WHERE NOT DENTED BUT A SLIGHT WARP WAS IN THE DOORS SO THEY DID NOT COMPLETE TOP CLOSURE. REAR DRIVER SIDE LAMP AND BUMPER CRACKED/DETACHED.

I QUESTIONED WHY THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND IF THEY WOULD BE CHECKED. I WAS HIT PRETTY HARD AND WHY HAVE AIR BAGS FOR SAFETY IF THEY DON''T WORK. I ALSO QUESTIONED THE TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE. STATE FARM WOULD NOT ANSWER MY QUESTIONS OR WOULD AMERICA HONDA ABOUT THOROUGHLY CHECKING THE AIR BAGS.
