2004 HONDA PILOT Air Bags Problems

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT IS ACTIVATED. I TOOK MY 2004 HONDA PILOT WITH CALIFORNIA LICENSE PLATE NUMBER [XXX] TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP IN HEMET CALIFORNIA ON DECEMBER 14 2022 TO CHECK THE AIR BAG SYSTEM. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A $100.00 DIAGNOSTIC FEE BECAUSE THE REPAIR IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE AIRBAG RECALL PROGRAM. MY VEHICLE IS 20 YEARS OLD AND I'M WORRIED THE DRIVERS SIDE AIR BAG IS UNSAFE AND COULD BE ACCIDENTLY ACTIVATED AND CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH. MY VEHICLE HAS OVER 300,000 MILES. AS OF TODAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 2023, THE AIR BAG WARNING LAMP IS STILL ON. IS THE ACTIVATED AIR BAG WARNING LAMP COVERED UNDER THE AIR BAG RECALL PROGRAM? INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT HAS BEEN ACTIVATED. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP CHARGES $100.00 TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE. I WAS TOLD IT'S NOT PART OF THE AIRBAG RECALL AND I WILL HAVE TO PAY. MY VEHICLE IS 20 YEARS OLD. I BELEIVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH AIRBAGS SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE RECALL. IN THE CASE OF AN AIRBAG ACTIVATION AND I AM INJURIED OR KILLED FROM A DEFECTIVE AIR BAG. I HAVE PROOF THAT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP WAS ADVISED ON DECEMBER 14, 2022. THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR SIX (6) MONTHS AND CANNOT GET IT CORRECTED.

PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED WHILE VEHICLE IN OPERATION. MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, 65 MPH, NO IMPACT, NOTHING HIT OUR CAR, NO REASON. I WAS SITTING IN PASSENGER SEAT. THE AIRBAG BLEW, SOME BURNING AND BRUISING TO MY ARM, EAR IS RINGING. NO REASON FOR THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY! VERY DANGEROUS. CALLED HONDA, CAR [XXX]. WE'VE HAD OUR FRONT AIRBAGS RECALLED. DO THE SIDES HAVE PROBLEMS TOO? INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TAKATA RECALL AFTER GETTING THE RECALL IN 2015 I HAD THE AIRBAGS CHECKED AND REPLACED ON 10/15/2015 AT HONDA OF VALLEY STREAM SERVICE STATION. DESPITE THIS I HAVE BEEN GETTING LETTERS INCORRECTLY STATING THAT I DIDN'T GET IT REPAIRED YET. I HAVE UPLOADED THE DOCUMENTATION SHOWING THE AIRBAG REPAIR DONE ON 10/15/2015. PLEASE CORRECT THE RECORD SO I STOP GETTING THE MAILINGS REGARDING THIS. I ALSO WANT TO CORRECT THE RECORD SO THERE IS NO PROBLEM IF I WANT TO SELL THE CAR.

IT DO NOT WORK AT ALL.

LATE IN 2015 I RECEIVED A MAILING FROM WILDE HONDA, WAUKESHA, WI AN "URGENT/RECALL NOTICE" CONCERNING MY 2004 HONDA PILOT REGARDING A POTENTIALLY DEFECTIVE AIRBAG INFLATOR. I CONTACTED THE DEALER LISTED AND SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT. I DROPPED MY CAR OFF ON 12/28/15 TO HAVE THIS REPAIR PERFORMED. . THE REASON FOR THE APPOINTMENT WAS THIS AIRBAG SERVICE. . . I ON THE RECEIPT PROVIDED IT SHOWS THAT THEY HAD PERFORMED THE AIR BAG INFLATOR SERVICE. IN EARLY FEBRUARY OF 2016 I RECEIVED ANOTHER MAILING INFORMING ME TO HAVE THIS AIRBAG SERVICE PERFORMED. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP. THE ORIGINAL SERVICE ADVISOR SAID THAT THE REPAIR ON THE AIR BAG RECALL HAD NOT BEEN PERFORMED AT THE EARLIER SERVICE APPOINTMENT. HE DID NOT KNOW WHY, AND ADMITTED IT WAS A MISTAKE. I EVENTUALLY TALKED TO THE SERVICE MANAGER. HE OFFERED TO REPAIR THE CAR IF IT WAS BROUGHT BACK. MY CONCERNS IN THIS CASE , IT MIGHT BE A COMMON ONE WITH THIS DEANSHIP. THEY NEVER CONTACTED ME REGARDING THIS ISSUE. I CONTACTED THEM IN FEB 16 TO FOLLOW UP ON ANOTHER RECALL NOTICE. TWO MONTHS AFTER THE SUPPOSED AIRBAG REPAIR.THEY HAVE MY CELL NUMBER AND MAILING ADDRESS AND CANNOT PROVIDE ANY PROOF THEY EVER TRIED TO CONTACT ME. I HAVE A PHONE LOG AND SHOW NO INCOMING CALLS FROM THEM IT SEEMS THAT THEY WERE ONLY CONCERNED WITH THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE WHEN HONDA WOULD NOT REIMBURSE THEM FOR THIS WARRANTY REPAIR BECAUSE THEY USED THE INCORRECT PART TO MAKE THE REPAIR! THE DEALERS ACTIONS HAVE PLACED THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY RISK. THEIR ONLY OFFER TO FIX THIS AIR BAG SERVICE MISTAKE IS TO BRING THE CAR BACK FOR SERVICE. IF THIS WAS NOT A RECALL ITEM THAT WAS INVOLVED, I DOUBT I WOULD HAVE HEARD BACK FROM THEM. I WOULD BE DRIVING AN POTENTIALLY UNSAFE CAR, THINKING THE ISSUE HAD BEEN ADDRESSED. THIS DEALERSHIP MISREPRESENTS THE TRUTH, IS SLOPPY IN RECORD KEEPING, AND USES INCORRECT PARTS FOR A RECALL SERVICE.

I BROUGHT MY 2004 HONDA PILOT TO A AUTHORIZED HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR THE AIRBAG RECALL AND WITH 2 HOURS THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. I TOLD THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME MY AIRBAG UNIT HAD FAILED AND NEEDED TO REPLACED FOR $800. THE VEHICLE HAD NO AIRBAG ISSUE UNTIL THE TAKADA CANNISTER WAS REPLACED, WHICH I UNDERSTAND THE NEW UNIT IS NOT COMPATABLE WITH THE 2004 AIRBAG CONTROL UNIT. BOTH THE DEALER AND AMERICAN HONDA HAVE DENIED ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE UNIT AND I HAVE BEEN DRIVING MY HONDA PILOT FOR THE LAST 2 MONTHS WITH MY FAMILY WITH NO OPERATIONAL AIRBAG SYSTEM! EXTREMELY UNPROFESSIONAL AND UNSAFE!

MY AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON. I HAD AIRBAGS RECALL DONE AND THE MECHANICS STATE THE LIGHT IS NOT RELATED NOR DO THEY HAVE RECORD OF THE RECALL REPAIR BEING MADE. BECAUSE IT IS A RED LIGHT, THE SENSOR WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED @ $800 OR IT WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION. JUST WANTED TO LET PEOPLE KNOW IN THE EVENT THIS HAPPENS TO MORE PEOPLE TOO. JUST STRANGE THE SERVICE TO AIRBAGS CORESPONDS WITH THIS LIGHT. WE ALSO FOUND A SCREW IN DRIVER SIDE FLOORBOARD AFTER THE RECALL REPAIR.

I CALLED HONDA PLAZA BKLYN NY IN JULY IN REFERENCE TO THE RECALL LETTER I RECEIVED. THEY SAID THEY WOULD GET BACK TO ME. I CALLED 2 MORE TIMES & WAS TOLD SOMEONE WOULD CALL ME. NO ONE EVER CALLED. THEY SAY I'M ON THE LIST BUT WILL NOT TELL ME WHAT # ON THE LIST I AM. ACCORDING TO THE LETTER I RECEIVED THE AIRBAG RECALL SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF WITHIN 60 DAYS. IT IS NOW OVER THE 60 DAYS. I WAS GOING TO GO TO BAY RIDGE HONDA BUT THEY CAN'T PROMISE ME HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE & DON'T OFFER LOANER CARS. THEY HAVE A SHUTTLE BUS BUT IT WILL ONLY GET ME HOME. I STILL NEED A CAR TO GO TO WORK. I LEAVE MY HOME AT 3.30P. TO WORK NIGHTS SO THE SHUTTLE THEY OFFERED WILL NOT HELP ME. I BOUGHT 2 CARS FROM PLAZA HONDA AND ANY TIME I HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE SERVICE DEPT. AT PLAZA IT'S ALWAYS A PROBLEM BUT NOW IT'S A REALLY BIG PROBLEM BECAUSE IT HAS TO DO WITH MY SAFETY. I NEED SOMEONE'S HELP TO SEE WHY PLAZA HONDA IS - A. NOT GETTING BACK TO ME WHEN I'M TOLD SOMEONE WILL CALL ME. -B WHAT NUMBER AM I ON THERE LIST. -C WHY THIS IS TAKING OVER THE 60 DAY PERIOD. ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE WITH THIS WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

I CALLED THE 800 NUMBER LISTED ON THE LETTER TO HONDA OWNERS TO ENQUIRE AS TO WHETHER MY HONDA PILOT WAS SUBJECT TO RECALL FOR THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG. THE OPERATOR, "[XXX]" (DECLINE TO PROVIDE LAST NAME), STATED THAT IT WAS NOT. WHEN ASKED WHY IT WAS NOT AS IT WAS IN THE AFFECTED YEAR RANGE, 2003-2007, SHE STATED THAT THE RECALL WAS VIN SPECIFIC. WHEN ASKED HOW HONDA COULD KNOW THAT AS THEY DON'T KNOW THE VEHICLE CONTENT BY VIN (PER [XXX] AT THE SAME NUMBER THE DAY BEFORE), SHE COULD NOT ANSWER. I ASKED HER IF HONDA COULD ASSIGN A CASE MANAGER TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT MY VEHICLE CONTAINED A TAKATA DRIVER'S AIRBAG AND SHE STATED THAT I WOULD HAVE TO CONTACT A DEALER ON MY OWN. WHEN ASKED IF SHE WOULD CONFIRM THIS WITH HER SUPERVISOR, SHE DID SO AND REPLIED THAT WHAT SHE HAD SAID WAS OFFICIAL HONDA POLICY. WHEN ASKED HER SUPERVISOR'S NAME SHE DECLINED STARTING THAT SHE COULD NOT REVEAL THIS INFORMATION. WHEN INFORMED THAT A CONTEMPORANEOUS RECORD OF THIS CALL HAD BEEN TRANSCRIBED AND WOULD BE PROVIDED TO COUNSEL IN THE EVENT OF AN INCIDENT INVOLVING MY VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS SHE WAS NONCOMMITTAL. I WOULD HOPE THAT THIS SORT OF REACTION IN THE COURSE OF A VOLUNTARY MANUFACTURER'S RECALL WILL BE NOTED BY NHTSA IN ITS REVIEW OF THIS MATTER.

WE WERE ON ANOTHER SUMMER TRIP AND THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. THIS IS THE BIG RED LIGHT TO THE FAR LEFT OF THE PANEL. CALLING HONDA IN FRANKLIN TN THEY HAD NO IDEA WHAT COULD HAPPEN WHILE CONTINUING TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. CALLING ANOTHER DEALERSHIP THEY ASSURED ME THAT IT WAS MOST LIKELY A SENSOR AND THE AIRBAGS WOULD SIMPLY NOT DEPLOY. HONDA AS RECALLS NOW FOR BAD AIRBAGS. 1- OUR 2004 DOES NOT FALL INTO THE RECALL PERIOD 2 - HONDA SHOULD PAY FOR ANY ISSUE RELATED TO BAD AIRBAG TECHNOLOGY REGARDLESS OF HOW OLD THE CAR IS, JUST LIKE THEY DO WITH SEAT BELTS. IF WE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A WRECK DURING THE TIME THAT LIGHT WAS ON, THE AIRBAG WOULD NOT HAVE DEPLOYED. 3- ANY PART OF THE AIRBAG/SENSOR/ SEATBELT SYSTEM SHOULD NOT BE MERELY COVERED UNDER A LIMITED WARRANTY.

SRS RED LIGHT ON. NO PREVIOUS COLLISIONS OR AIRBAG DEPLOYMENTS. DEALER STATES THAT SRS CONTROLLER NEEDS REPLACEMENT, BUT NOT COVERED BY HONDA. AIRBAGS MIGHT NOT DEPLOY IN ACCIDENT. COST PROHIBITIVE TO REPLACE SRS CONTROLLER IN HOUSTON, TX, THEY WANT $800-$1000 TO REPLACE THIS SAFETY ITEM. CALLING HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE ABOUT PREMIUM AND EXPLOITIVE PRICES CHARGE BY THEIR DEALERS IN HOUSTON IS OF NO AVAIL. HONDA SHOULD TAKE NOTICE OF THIS PROBLEM SERIOUSLY BEFORE ANYONE GETS INJURED IN CAR CRASH BY FAILURE OF AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. AT MINIMUM, I EXPECT HONDA TO OFFER MINIMUM OR SUBSIDIZED PRICING AND PREVENT CUSTOMER EXPLOITATION BY THEIR DEALERS. PLEASE HELP. *TR

ON MY 2004 HONDA PILOT, THE SRS (AIRBAG) WARNING INDICATOR LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD MYSTERIOUSLY REMAINS ON EVEN THOUGH THERE HAVE BEEN NO OTHER CHANGES TO THE VEHICLE. THE HONDA DEALER WANTS $80 JUST TO LOOK AT IT! THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS; IT'S CLEARLY A FAILED COMPONENT THAT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE SAFETY PORTION OF THE VEHICLE'S WARRANTEE FOR THE LIFETIME OF THE VEHICLE. THERE ARE MANY OTHER HONDA OWNERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS WARNING LIGHT AND THEY REPORT IT IS NEARLY ALWAYS A FAILED PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR THAT HONDA IS REPLACING UNDER A TSB; HOWEVER MY LOCAL DEALER CLAIMS TO KNOW NOTHING OF THE TSB AND WANT ME TO PAY FOR THIS. *TR

I OWN A 2004 HONDA PILOT. THE SEATBELT SENSOR SWITCH CAME ON AT AROUND 63K MILES. TOOK TO HONDA, THEY SAID PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAGS SENSOR IS DEFECTIVE AND THEY HAVE TO TAKE SEAT APART TO REPAIR. PROPOSED COST IS AROUND $500. HAVE NOT REPAIRED YET DUE TO COST. INQUIRED WITH OTHER OWNERS IN MY TOWN THAT OWN SAME CARE, MAKE AND MODEL YEAR 2004 AND 2005. 6 OTHER WOMEN IN MY TOWN HAVE HAD EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR PILOT. I FEEL IT SHOULD BE A WARRANTED PART DUE TO IT BEING A LIFE SAFETY ISSUE OF A DEFECTIVE SENSOR ON THE PILOT. COMPLAINED TO LOCAL DEALERSHIP, HERB CHAMBERS HONDA, WESTBOROUGH, MA. THEY SAID THEY HAVE HAD SOME REPAIRS LIKE THAT BUT NOT ALOT AND IT IS NOT A RECALL PROBLEM. I WOULD LIKE IT INVESTIGATED TO SEE HOW MANY HONDA PILOTS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND IF IT SHOULD BE A HONDA COST FOR SUCH A DEFECT. HONDA DOESN'T NOT EVEN TELL YOU TO NOT LET ANYONE SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT INSPITE OF THE SENSOR BEING ON INDICATING A DEFECT. *TR

ON EVENING OF 3-25-07, AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. 3-27-07, WENT TO DEALER -COMPUTER OUT. PART ORDERED-TO BE IN 3/29. COME PICK UP CAR. DID SO - DROVE IN FEAR. 3/29- PART NOT IN UNTIL 4/3. TOLD NO RENTAL CAR AS CAR IS DRIVABLE (UNDER WARRANTY). CALLED NATIONAL/ZONE - AGREED WITH THIS. TOLD CAR IS DRIVABLE. WOULD NOT TELL ME CAR IS SAFE BUT THAT IS HONDA'S POLICY. THAT IF THE CAR IS DRIVABLE - THEY DO NOT GIVE A RENTAL. SO- TO ME - HONDA IS SAYING MY LIFE AND THAT OF MY FAMILY IS NOT THEIR PROBLEM AND IT'S UP TO ME TO GET A RENTAL. THE CAR IS DRIVABLE BUT NOT SAFE AND POSSIBLY DANGEROUS. I AM THE MEDICAL PROVIDER FOR A LARGE BRAIN INJURY REHAB FACILITY. I DON'T WANT TO HAVE MORE CLIENTS DUE TO HONDA'S POLICY!!! IF THE CAR IS UNSAFE OR DANGEROUS - IT IS NOT DRIVABLE!!!! A RENTAL CAR SHOULD BE SUPPLIED. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE HONDA HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR POLICY AND FEEL THAT IT GOES AGAINST NHTSA BELIEFS. AIRBAGS ARE THEIR FOR A REASON BUT HONDA DOESN'T FEEL THEY ARE NECESSARY. *JB

THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO WORK WHEN THE CAR IMPACTED A VEHICLE HEAD-ON. THE AIR BAG FAILED A 2ND TIME WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IMPACTED IN THE REAR BUMPER. THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE IN THE REAR WAS GOING APROXIMATELY 50MPH. THE CHILDREN IN THE REA SEATING HAD VERY SOAR NECKS FOR A WEEK. I BOUGHT THE CAR WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THE VEHICLE WAS A SAFE VEHICLE. I HAD FOUR CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. WHEN I TALKED TO THE HONDA MECHANIC, HE EXPLAINED TO ME THAT BECAUSE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF TWO CARS THE AIR BAG COMPUTER SYSTEM WAS CONFUSED ON WHERE TO SEND THE AIR... I THINK THAT IS WRONG! THERE SHOULD BE A SIGNAL THAT WHEN CONFUSED ON WHERE TO GO, SET ALL OF THE AIRBAGS OFF. BY NOT SENDING ANY OFF, IT INDANGERED MY FAMILY... PLEASE RECONSIDER THE FIVE STAR RATING YOU GIVE A FALSE IMPRESSION.

AFTER NOTICING THE SEATBELT/AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT WAS ON, I ARRANGED TO HAVE IT CHECKED BY THE DEALER, KEN DIXON HONDA OF WALDORF, MD. I ALSO REQUESTED AN OIL CHANGE. WHEN I DROPED THE CAR OFF, THE GENTLEMAN ASKED IF I WAS THERE FOR AN OIL CHANGE. I SAID YES BUT I WAS REALLY THERE TO HAVE THE SEATBELT/AIRBAG SYSTEM CHECKED AND THE LIGHT RESET. HE ASKED IF I WANTED MY CAR WASHED; IT WAS FREE. HALF WAY HOME, (I LIVE ONE HOUR AWAY) I REALIZED THE WARNING LIGHT WAS STILL ON. THE NEXT DAY, FRIDAY, WE DROVE TO GEORGIA. ON OUR WAY HOME, WE ROLLED THREE TIMES IN OUR HONDA PILOT. NONE OF THE AIRBAGS OPENED. ALTHOUGH WE WALKED AWAY, WE SUFFERED HEAD AND NECK INJURIES, NONE OF WHICH WERE LIFE THREATENING. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THEY SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. COULD YOU PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHERE TO GO AND HOW I SHOULD RESPOND. THANK YOU.*AK
