Problems with 2005 Honda Accord AIR BAGS

Was in an accident where i needed to quickly steer out of a severe crash snd was not able to becausethe steering got stuck. noticed problems off and on but took it to the dealership and the assured us there was no problen with car. we were not notified until after the accident that there was a recall on the this certain vehicle steering and air bags . at the time of the accident went crash occured the airbags also failed to work the came out flat.

Takata recall. the airbag warning light stays on. dealer acknowledges this but the vin doesn't show the vehicle (2005 honda accord hybrid) covered under the recall.

Tl* the contact owned a 2005 honda accord. the contact stated that while the driver was driving at approximately 30 mph, the driver crashed into another vehicle. the air bags failed to deploy. the contact sustained neck and back injuries and the driver sustained severe headaches that did not require medical attention. a police report was not filed. the vehicle was destroyed. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 105,000.

Airbag srs light stays on all the time. some 2005 honda accords were covered in the honda recall q31, but my vin was not included. my problem is exactly the same as the q31 recall, but honda america refuses to pay for the repair. since this is a safety item, it should be reported as to the nhtsa.

I recently received an airbag notice to have the passenger air bag replace at the dealer. i promptly delivered my vehicle to the dealer texas honda of austin, tx. after the air bag was replaced and they updated the computer, i am now getting an srs warning light which is intermitting. and according to my manual take it to your dealer. when i reported it to the dealer they advised that the two had no relevance. that i would have to pay for the repairs and that the parts were not available. according to honda's site the seat wiring harness should have been replaced to avoid this.

Driving south on i 81 at approximately mm 167.3. heard a very loud noise, thought i might have had a blow out. there was a burning smell so i thought my car was on fire and i pulled off on the left hand side of the interstate. no flat, nothing burning, no damage to car. got back in my car and realized passenger side airbags from front to back had deployed, that is what i was smelling but at the time i did not realize my airbags had deployed. i was alone but there is a child car seat in my backseat and if one of my grandchildren had been in the car seat or a passenger in the front seat they could have been badly injured. my car is currently at the honda dealership and they have provided me a loaner vehicle at no cost to me. they did call this morning to verify that i had not ran over anything or hit anything. there is not damage to my vehicle. the honda dealership told me they would give me a call once they figured this all out. i am now waiting to see what the outcome will be. *tr

Honda replaced the takata drivers side airbag on my 2005 honda accord in january 2015 under the takata airbag recall. however, honda will not replace the takata passenger side airbag in my car. i do not live in a high humidity state. i am very concerned about this decision by honda not to replace the passenger side airbag as there are news reports of injury to a passenger from a takata passenger side air bag in 2013. nhtsa needs to order honda to replace the takata passenger side air bag on affected honda cars before someone else is injured. *tr

Takata recall i call [xxx] about my car 2005 honda accord and ask if my car is included in the air bag recall and was told no,, but i see that the year and dates on the abc 13 houston link, show my can is included. how do i go about getting it replace? thank you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

My airbag indicator warning light came on at about 195k miles. i called the dealership asking if they had a recall open and said they did not. they thought maybe it was a sensor. now that i see the reason for the latest recall, covering 2001-2003 whose takata airbags we declared at risk, particularly in high humidity states. i can't help but to think that with all the recalls before and after my model year, coupled with my airbag light, that i am driving around with a high risk of my airbag deploying.

Srs light stays on all the time. *tr

My wife was traveling on the highway when she lost control and the car did a 180. she came to rest against a cement barrier and the drivers side curtain airbag was deployed but did not inflate. i contacted american honda care and wilde honda in madison wi. 4 times and they refused to inspect the car or acknowledge any damages or fault. *js

I have a honda accord 2005 and have noticed the airbag light continues to light up showing there is some defect. i could never find a recall on this issue and the light have come on for over a year now. i am concerned because we are military and now with the airbag recall issue i have found out talking with the corporate honda dealer they are only getting the vehicle location from local dmv offices. the problem is military register their cars in their home state, but live in other states. so my car is in ca and has also been in fl and va. because of this oversight, it appears i have not been notified of the recall. i called honda to confirm if the faulty part is in my vehicle, and honda refuses to tell me. i have been told "i am not part of the recall because i am not on the list". but if i have the part, and since my car has been in a recall state, i should be included. it is a total lack of coordination and record keeping. they refuse to listen and refuse to assist. i have warned them i am pregnant with twins and need to get this issue resolved for safety purposes, but they refuse to listen. this amounts to negligence and i am now worried honda does not care one bit for my safety or the safety of my unborn twins. *tr

Nothing happened. during the past few months, the airbag (red light) indicator light comes on the dashboard warning system and will not go off. this is intermittent, but certainly a cause for concern based on the recent recalls. who will fix this for me? *tr

I think the point of filed complaints should not only be reflective but proactive. that way, hopefully, both the feds and the manufacturers can get ahead of issues before they come tragic and/or costlier. that being said, i currently drive a 2005 honda accord which is on the recall list regarding the takata air bag flaw. there is no recall though, simply because my car was not registered in one of the 'humid states' this is ridiculous. i suspect it is a calculated ploy to allow takata to triage the most pressing recalls first and then open the recall. this is understandable, but if this is the case, it should be communicated to the public instead of making us feel a false sense of security with a potentially defective product. when will all 2005 honda accords receive the blessing to be recalled???

I have seen the recalls for takata air bags due to injuries and deaths once deployed of which my model car is on the list of recalled vehicles. however, i do not live in one of the states that is on the recall list, so my vin is not on the recall list. upon further investigation on the issue, i found an article on this website, http://www.nhtsa.gov/about+nhtsa/press+releases/vehicle-owners-with-defective-airbags-urged-to-take-immediate-action, with a quote, "responding to these recalls, whether old or new, is essential to personal safety and it will help aid our ongoing investigation into takata airbags and what appears to be a problem related to extended exposure to consistently high humidity and temperatures. however, we're leaving no stone unturned in our aggressive pursuit to track down the full geographic scope of this issue," said nhtsa deputy administrator [xxx] ." since it basically states that humidity and temperature are the causes of the failures, i did an online research for the average humidity levels within my state only to find them in line with the states that are on the recall list. i further researched the avg humidity levels and temps of all 50 states to find that the humidity levels of the states on the recall list are lower than about 26 other states. to validate my findings, i looked up the same information on several unrelated websites. one interesting note, the avg. humidity in ca (not my state) is higher than these states and avg. temp. is only 3 different than sc. based off of my initial findings, i feel that whomever is determining which vehicles should be recalled should be more clear on how they determine which vehicles are selected for recall. i am now very nervous about driving my car and will consider replacement in the near future. since this problem is linked to deaths, i want clarity on this information asap. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

My 16 year old son was driving to school on the highway. the vehicle speed was approximately 65. for no reason at all, the passenger side airbags exploded causing a quick reaction under extreme fear. honda has been notified but the local dealer "southpoint honda" has been rude & accusatory that honda is not at fault. the honda recall for airbags is expanding, yet no help. his car is unsafe to drive and is parked. for a single father this is causing great hardship, not to mention the injury that might of occurred to my only child! the excuses are not acceptable!!!! *tr

My complaint is based on the risk of death or serious injury posed by the potentially faulty airbags in all 2005 honda accords. nhtsa is permitting honda to use my nys residency as reason to exclude my car from the recall list. the assertion that certain cars may be more at risk for failure based on geographic regions may or may not be a rational basis for prioritizing a service list. it should not, however, be the criteria for determining which cars are included in the recall. by approving this partial recall list, nhtsa is protecting honda and takata. as long as my car is excluded, honda is not legally responsible. honda was not required to notify me of the potential danger, and i was unaware before now of the risk. honda also avoids paying the cost of any action taken to minimize the risk, such as having the airbags disabled. nhtsa's actions are serving the interests of honda rather that the america public. *tr

My daughter rear ended another car at very low speed causing minimal damage to the front bumper and a slight dent in the hood. the impact caused the airbag to deploy, or more accurately to "detonate" sending hot metal and plastic shrapnel into the cabin. as a result of this minor accident my daughter sustained severe burns, bruises and abrasions on her arms and legs. honda admits that the airbag was not designed with this in mind but refuses to take any responsibility other than to present me with a bill for $3700.00. there is no denying that my daughter was at fault in the accident but her injuries and the excessive damage (the entire steering column was blown apart) were only due to honda's faulty airbag and safety design for which they should be held accountable. .... updated 08/05/14 *bf updated 08/11/2014 *js
