Problems with 2002 Honda Accord AIR BAGS

I have been trying for days to schedule an appointment for the air bags recall. leaving messages with no abilities to speak with any one. no one returns my call. called customer care of honda with no much of the use

Trying to check a 2002 honda airbag recall notice to see if the 2002 inflator on the vin # of ours has been replaced. vin # was hard to read. now i've received on this site a notification that the vin# is valid. what's next to get an answer re: the inflator replacement?

Tl* the contact owns a 2002 honda accord. the contact stated that the key could be moved from the ignition while in gear and the vehicle can roll away. the manufacturer was notified. the vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 251,575. updated 08/17/16*lj the consumer stated the vehicle rolled away on several occasions and on one of those occasions, the vehicle was damaged. the consumer also stated there was a recall on the srs. updated 11/03/16.*jb

Dealer said my air bag was spice together and can't be replace because of the wire spice. the honda send the recall air bag is under the recall. the honda dealer replace the airbag inflator already, i paid for the inflator at the dealer. would the spice wire disqualify my car from replacement of the airbag?

My honda was hit and the airbags at the steering wheel went off and burnt my arm and it was very hard to breath

Takada inflators. my 2002 honda accord has had 2 recalls on the driver side inflator or airbag. the srs light is on all of the time. i explained that the light used to come on and go off when it was very humid or had rained. after several months of that, the light came on and never went off. i asked the dealer if they would contact honda and ask if they could replace both airbags or inflators on the driver and passenger side. they said they wouldn't fix it since it hadn't been a part of the recall. they replaced the driver side inflator/bag and sent me on my way with the srs light still on. recently i had another recall for the driver side inflator. once again i requested that they contact honda to get authorization to fix the passenger side since the srs light is still on. once again i was told they wouldn't do so as it isn't part of the recall. given the history of the injuries and deaths related to the srs/inflators, why wouldn't they investigate to see what the problem was? i can't afford to do so myself. then the dealership told me he'd note in the history that i "refused to fix it". i went ahead and scheduled a time to take it in for the recall for the driver side inflator. after i got off the phone, it really made me mad the way the dealer implied that this was my problem and note the history. so, i called the honda recall number back and asked them to note on the history of my car that i informed honda and the dealership that there was an issue with the srs light and they chose to not even look into the problem. i'm writing this to put honda on notice that i have notified them of the srs problem and requested that they fix it under the recall and was told "no" twice! a quick search on the internet makes it obvious that this is a known problem that has been brought to honda's attention and they chose to ignore it.

Takata recall, air bags

Tl* takata recall. the contact owned a 2002 honda accord. the contact stated that the dealer performed a recall repair on the vehicle pertaining to the air bags; however, the air bags would not fully deploy after the repair. while driving approximately 25 mph, another vehicle crashed into the front driver side of the contact's vehicle. the contact's vehicle was pushed out into an intersection and was struck by another vehicle on the front passenger side. the vehicle was destroyed and only the right side curtain air bag deployed. a police report was filed. the driver sustained a broken neck that required intensive medical treatment. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the insurance company towed the vehicle to a yard and the contact was waiting to determine if the insurance company and the manufacturer would be able to investigate why the air bags did not fully deploy. the nhtsa campaign number was unknown. the failure mileage was not available.

Tl* the contact owns a 2002 honda accord. while driving 15 mph, the contact noticed an abnormal noise coming from the front driver side air bag. the air bag deployed inadvertently. the contact swerved, lost control of the vehicle, and drove over a curb. the front driver side seat belt pretensioner activated. the driver sustained minor cuts, and head and neck injuries that did not require medical attention. a police report was not filed. the vehicle was taken to a dealer who diagnosed that the driver side air bag, both seat belts and buckles, and a sos unit needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and sent out a field representative to inspect the vehicle. the failure mileage was 74,965.

May have to do with takata recall. as long as i've had the car (i bought it new) the airbag light has gone on and off intermittently. i've had all recall work done. the light persists in coming on intermittently. every time my car is at the dealership for service i ask them to check this matter to see why that's happening, and every time they tell me it's not a problem and the airbags and the light are functioning as they're supposed to. i can't believe that's true. something must be wrong for that to happen. i notice that they never make mention of having checked this out on the service order. this happens at any time, moving, stationary, any type of street or highway, turning, etc. it can happen at any time and under any conditions. it has always been to the same dealership for service. i'm really becoming concerned about the safety factor and if i would have a failure of the airbags to deploy when needed. about a year ago i was rear-ended--hard--and the airbags didn't deploy. i don't know if they should in a rear-end collision, but they didn't. i couldn't give a date as per your format because this has occurred from 2002 until the present, 2015, so the date i entered below is today's date. i also could not give a mileage because this has occurred from 0 miles to the 47,000 miles the car now has on it.

Tl* the contact owned a 2002 honda accord. while the contact's vehicle was making a u-turn, it was struck head on by a truck. the air bags did not deploy. a police report was filed. the contact sustained injuries to the neck, shoulder, back, and feet. medical attention was not required. the vehicle was destroyed. the manufacturer was notified. the approximate failure mileage was 59,000. updated 05/18/16*lj *tr

I was traveling on a three lane road on the morning of 7-18-15. a vehicle in front of me in the middle lane suddenly slowed down. to avoid hitting that vehicle i swerved to the right lane and into the bike lane. i went up the curb with the passenger side of the vehicle and continued on, while braking, and hit a light pole just behind the curb. i had 'help' going up the curb as a farmer (who farms the parcel adjacent to the accident site) had built an illegal 40 ft 'ramp' up the concrete curb with asphalt to allow access for his farm equipment. the driver's side of the vehicle stayed on the road traveling along the curb (in the gutter). the driver's airbag did not deploy. estimated speed was 50mph per the county sheriff. the vehicle has been inspected by our insurance company and is a total loss. had to go to the hospital for ct scan of the head as i hit the windshield. suffered from temporary amnesia and slurred speech. we went to the town officials and reported the 'ramp' and it was removed almost immediately. we need honda to inspect the vehicle (which was towed to our home) but after a week of leaving voice mails for the case manager we are still waiting a return call. the insurance company want to take the vehicle but we want it inspected to understand why the airbag did not deploy. note: we received an airbag safety recall notice on 7-27-15 (after the accident) but i think this notice is for a different issue with the airbags (not a deployment issue).

Tl* the contact owns a 2002 honda accord. while driving approximately 40 mph, the contact crashed into the rear of another vehicle. the air bags failed to deploy. the driver and front passenger sustained head injuries. the passengers in the rear sustained neck and leg injuries. the vehicle sustained extensive front end damage. it was unknown if medical attention was required. a police report was filed. the vehicle was towed to the contact's residence. prior to the incident, the vehicle was taken to the dealer for an air bag inspection where the dealer stated that the air bags were functioning. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 162,000.

My takata air bag has been replaced twice by honda recalls. unfortunately, the replacement airbag is another takata airbag. does that make sense? my question is: why is honda replacing defective takata airbags with takata airbags? since takata is continuing to manufacture defective airbags. i have no confidence in the airbag in my honda. shouldn't honda use another airbag manufactured by another company to replace the takata airbag.

I took my vehicle in for an airbag recall recently and as i was driving back home and stopped at a traffic light the red light srs appeared. it stayed on for a few seconds and went out as i was driving. it did this a couple of times and finally it just stayed on. since i've had this vehicle i've never had this happen. i called the dealership when i got home and they told me they didn't do anything other than replace the airbag and that it was the seatbelt restraint system. light is still on now. the only seatbelt that is used is mine as i am the only driver of my vehicle. i don't know what caused the light. please let me know the outcome so i will know how to proceed. thank you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

Hi on 3/3/2015 i took my honda in to breakaway honda to do a recall on the airbags also had a few other things repaired. mostly concerned about the airbags. had to return 5 days later for a part .i asked the service dept representative why my srs light was still on, he said something was still wrong with my airbags and if i had a wreck i still would not have airbag. but i could pay 89.95 to have it hooked up to a machine and if it was the seat belt i would not have to pay but if it was something else i would. didn't make sense to me, should i pay again to have airbags repaired or is that something honda should take care of. something else is they never gave me a call on the service they had done. *tr

I have an complaint in reference to the 2002 honda accord. i have been doing some research on this make and model , and have found that many owners are having the same issues with the srs light on the honda accord. we are being charged to fix or replace this issue,after clearly seeing that this is another flaw produced by the honda motors company, if you may look into the srs light issue on the 2002 honda accord please. *tr

My driver airbag was replaced by the local honda dealer on 11/05/2014 but the airbag warning light still comes on.

I was informed over a year ago my current auto received an air bag "fix" to the air bag activator during a normal service call and has no longer any air bag recalls. my car year and model is listed into the current takata air bag replacement recalls, but honda refuses to tell me if my car has this air bag. the activator fix is not what the takata air bag issue is about! it's the metal fragments hitting the driver. i have no confidence in what honda has told me and prefer to have my auto air bag be replaced, even though i am not in a high humidity zone, stated in the current takata recall. philadelphia hits high humidity (>90%) every summer, so how/why will my car it know if it is in florida or philly? please move forward to have all of the models, years, in the takata mess replaced, period! regards, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

I did not have an accident. i am reporting honda because they lied to me and said my car was not on the recall list. about 2 months after the airbag recall became public i called them to ask if my car was on the recall. i was instantly told it was not. i just today went to this site online and looked it up and find it is. i believe honda was involved in a deliberate cover-up. *tr

Faulty srs dash air-bag status lamp lights-up; malfunction of air-bag control module sensor system disabling air-bag deployment - code 723505----dealer diagnosis 7/15/15: "faulty / malfunctioning occupant (passenger) detection sensor in right front seat back----dealer solution: "replace entire occupant (passenger) right front seat back for $595.00"----the srs light and code have been cleared twice and is now back and on again----please help and make honda fix it properly so it doesn't recur----

While visiting a dealer to catch up on recalls, its computer and website both show the 2001-2002 accord driver airbag recall from 2011 as fixed; since the last time i was at a (original, different) dealer was 5/10 this is impossible. i am concerned that after a certain period customers who did not attend to the recall are automatically marked as fixed. fwiw i had an accident in 2007 and the passenger airbag deployed but the driver's didn't. *tr

The air bags on my 2002 honda accord were recalled 6 months ago because they apparently could explode and kill passengers with shrapnel if they go off in an accident. i have been waiting months for honda to replace with air bags with no resolution in sight. culver city honda in los angeles, ca keeps telling me they aren't able to get the new parts shipped in because of the port strike in los angeles. there are other ways to mail things, and i can't believe they aren't trying harder to get the part for their customers when they've already had 6 months. 5 people have already died from this defect and they have no urgency to fix this at all. i don't want my wife driving the car with such a dangerous faulty part, but it's the only car we own. who makes sure these companies actually follows through on the recall replacement? we need some help please. *tr

Srs light is on, which is for airbag. i searched the recall in honda owner's website and found there is one (letter dated sept 2014) which is for driver airbag for humidity area (which include california). so i called dealer on 10/8/14 and i was told part will be ordered and available in a week. i called after a week and i was told that it is back ordered so it cannot be order part until two weeks later. dealer promise again to order it after two weeks, and i will call them after nov 6 if i don't hear from them. *tr

I slowed down at a traffic light and my car was rear ended by another car who failed to apply the brakes and/or may have hit the gas pedal instead of the brakes. the car has been deemed a total loss as the car chassis seems to be crumpled. what i find very surprising is that neither the seat belts tighten nor the air bags were deployed despite being hit so hard. i was wondering what may have been the reason and what needs to be done so that it doesn't happen with anyone else. *tr

Car was headed west in the left lane of a four lane highway. a big suv headed in the opposite direction was turning to the left. he didn't have time to go and stopped right in my lane. my car hit hers on the passenger side. when we crashed, both of my air bags exploded. i thought my car was on fire because smoke was coming from the bags. my right arm and hand swelled up so big and is still painful. i think there must be medal embedded in my arm. blood was gushing from my arm and right knee. the inch gash in my right knee was on top of my total knee replacement. this had to be stitched up. i had contusions on my chest, arm and left knee. my ribs and sternum were bruised badly. my right ankle was fractured. my car was totaled. i was taken by ambulance to emergency and stayed until june 26, 2014. i was ordered to put no weight on my right leg and was transported by ambulance to a medical rehabilitation center. before my release from there, i developed pneumonia and could not leave until july 14, 2014. i still have to have surgery on my left knee for torn meniscus. that surgery is scheduled for september 9, 2014. my back was fractured also; however, i have not scheduled that surgery as of yet.......updated 09-03-14 *bf updated 11/26/2014 *js

I received a recall for my 2002 honda accord in may. i scheduled an appt to take it to honda in my local town. they said it was fixed and ready to go, not even a month later my srs came back on. i took it to my local dealer who ran tests on it and there response was "did honda even fix the recall issued?" and i said "yes they should have." anyway it seems the issue is happening again. he said to alert my company honda and file a complaint. i was also told that this is a very important recall because it can cause death. what to do? how to solve this? *tr
