While parking car at <2 mph driver front wheel hit curb. drivers side seat ripped open but airbag did not deploy. took vehicle to dealer and they claim car was in an accident and that deployment was normal, and not covered under any warranty. suggested i contact american honda and lodge a complaint, which i did and they claim this was not an airbag malfunction. if the seat ripped open but the airbag never deployed, how is this not a malfunction? (it is still neatly folded within the seat). why did it go off when hitting a curb while parking at extremely low speed? this seems like an "airbag malfunction" . i am concerned that this should be looked into and that it should be repaired by honda not at my cost.

Airbags were replaced per recall. but there is a warranty extension on the replacements. honda won't explain why. internet says they were packed wrong but again i can't get answers from honda unless i pay them $125. i'm worried that i'm driving with unsafe airbags.

Takata recall: my son was driving on the interstate at over 60 mph when the side airbag (driver side) spontaneously deployed. it slammed into his left arm with extreme force,knocking him toward the passenger door making him swerve in front of an 18 wheeler. the passenger side airbag then deployed and as he was trying to pull off the interstate the passenger front air bag deployed. he was able to stop in the area between the on ramp and the interstate, as he exited the vehicle the driver front airbag deployed. may 2016 the airbags and ignition recall repairs were done. after incident dealership ran diagnostics and said all he could see was that there was a problem with the srs unit. he asked us if we had made any electrical modifications (which we haven't) i asked him if that part had been checked or replaced during the recall and he said that wasn't part of the recall. he said we should call honda customer service. upon further investigation i learned there have been recalls on the replacements because of moisture being introduced during manufacturing.also there have been problems with corrosion and malfunction of the srs units due to extreme temperatures and high humidity. at the time of the incident the heat index was 110 and the humidity was extremely high. arkansas is located in the second of three priority regions for the srs recall.also while researching spontaneous airbag deployment causes, i learned that the srs unit moisture problem and the degradation of accelerant from moisture can not only cause the airbags to not deploy on impact, but also cause them to deploy with no impact. this information should be included in the recall information and honda should expand the srs recall. we are lucky lives were not lost in this incident, but that may not be the case the next time this happens.

Taskata recall i m having problem with my airbag light on in my car and i don't know what to do. also my horn stopped working for no reason. i think because the airbag situation that why.

On 5/11/2019 i was in a serious auto accident to where my airbags did not deploy at all. my car was completely totaled and i'm lucky to be alive today. i'm concerned way the air bags did not deploy when there was impact on every side and trigger points of my car. i want to know did i even have airbags because i everyone that has inspected the car said they should have deployed with all the impact to the car. i would greatly appreciate if you can look into this due to my life could have been taken that night and my cars air bags never deployed and now i have to live with the pain and damages it has done to me. i was driving and got into the middle lane and then i was hit from behind from a ford f-150 from what i was told due to i lost concussion while my car spun out of control and then i woke up slammed up against trees, in a deep ditch. since i don't remember all of what happen this is the florida highway patrol case number ( 88109030 ), so you can look more into the case. i will attach a few pictures of the vehicle that was taken when i had to get my stuff out of it.

The airbag light turned on when i was driving the highway, no reason as to why it would turn on because i didn't get into a wreck or crash at all. i've had this car for about a year, bought it from a previous owner they had said it was in perfect condition. so irritated because i use this car every single day to drive to work and from and i also take my daughter to her doctors appointments in this vehicle. ii don't want the airbags going off while i'm driving and possibly crash because i will sue. the engine light is always on since like a week into buying the car and i took it to a mechanic but it still turns on.

2003 accord ex sedan, 4 cyl, 95,970 miles. the side airbag (drivers seat) deployed for no reason while my 17 year old son was driving on a straight, 35 mph roadway. the seatbelt did not lock-up. i contacted the dealer service manager by phone, he told me that this was impossible and that my son was at fault. he told me that the airbags can deploy just from sliding sideways. he also stated that if i brought the car to him and paid $135.00 he would check the car (computer) and show that there was an "incident" that deployed the airbag. as a retired state trooper (ret. 2015) i have investigated in excess of 4,000 crashes. there is no damage to the car, no indication of a collision with anything. i also know my son. i have also never seen airbag deployment without some sort of collision. a simple internet query shows that this is a problem, not just with front airbags. i did take photographs of the car, but can't upload them now.
