Tl*the contact owns a 2008 honda accord. while exiting the front passenger side of the vehicle, the contact placed a bag onto the seat and closed the front door. immediately, the front passenger side air bags deployed. the contact stated that her son was seated on the rear passenger side of the vehicle during the failure, but was not injured. the vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection and they stated that the door was shut with too much force, which caused the air bag to deploy. the vehicle was repaired at the cost of $2,700. the vehicle was inspected by an insurance adjuster, who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. the adjuster stated that the failure could have been due to an electrical defect. the insurance company will not cover the repair cost. the contact called the manufacturer and was informed that because the dealer inspected the vehicle and found no defects, no compensation would be provided. the failure and current mileages were 13,153 updated 05/27/09 *bf updated 06/01/09.*jb

It was april 22, 2009 around 3pm when i pulled into the laundry basket on broadway in bangor, me. i opened the rear passenger door to take the dirty laundry out of the back and then closed the rear passenger door. i opened the front passenger side door where my cousin was sitting and asked him to hand me some money for laundry. when i shut the front passenger door all of the passenger side air bags went off striking my cousin in the head. my cousin and i drove the vehicle over to darling's honda in bangor where they were very helpful. after coming to an agreement i was given a rental car and my vehicle was to be inspected at no cost to me. i reported the incident to my insurance company as well. an adjuster from my insurance company took a look at the car and determined that it was a mechanical defect in the car so my insurance will not cover the repairs. after honda took a look at the car they were unable to determine why the airbags went off and honda america is refusing to cover the cost of the damages. my cousin that was sitting in the passenger seat when the airbag went off has a previous head injury that causes him to have seizures and after he was struck in the head by the airbags, he had a couple of seizures that night. honda told me they are refusing to fix the vehicle because that would be admitting fault and they are afraid of a lawsuit from my cousin or myself. i had no intentions on filing a lawsuit, i just want my car fixed. after i go my car back from honda all of the weather stripping is coming off the vehicle. thank you for taking the time to read this. *tr

1. by shutting the pass side door the side curtain air bags deployed. this is on a 2008 honda accord, the warranty stated they would not pay for it even though when i bought the warranty i was told it covered everything even if the tiniest light bulb went out, my insurance co stated they would not pay because there was no accident and it is a malfunction the only good thing is that we were not going down the road at the time and no one got hurt. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2008 honda accord. while driving 55 mph, the passenger side curtain air bag deployed without impact. the dealer stated that the contact must have struck something, although there was no damage to the vehicle. the insurance company inspected the vehicle and found nothing that would cause the air bag to deploy. the vin was unknown. the current mileage was 8,000 and failure mileage was 7,500.

My daughter started the car, her husband got in & closed the right passenger door & the curtain air-bags on the right side of the vehicle deployed. the car is a leased 2008 honda accord sedan with approx 14,452 miles. i brought the car to coral springs honda, and was told that their investigative team had to look the car over. their final statement is that the passenger "slammed" the door to hard and it caused the air-bags to deploy. it is pretty scary to think that this can happen if you should close your door to hard. they are also stating that it is my responsibility to have the car repaired. please advise as to my legal rights. *tr

Airbags did not deploy, a head on accident going at 40 mph hit a car going 45 mph. my bumper in the front was pulled off and the hood is bent but no airbags went off. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2008 honda accord. while driving approximately 35 mph on normal road conditions, the front and rear passenger air bags became exposed from the outer covering. there was no deployment. the air bag warning indicator illuminated on the instrument panel and remained lit until the engine was turned off. the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for inspection and they stated that the air bags were falling out of the headliner. the vehicle has not been repaired. the failure mileage was 5,500 and current mileage was 7,256.

Air bags deployed when door was shut not contact!!!! *tr

Takata recall i get letter after letter from honda promising to replace the airbag. the latest letter tells me to let no one sit in the passenger seat. what about the driver's seat? you are not doing your job. you should tell them that they can't sell any more cars until they fix the ones they have sold. don't you understand why americans hate their government?

A month ago i had picked my boyfriend up from the airport and when he got out at a gas station he shut/slammed my front passenger door on my new 2008 honda accord. when this happened my side airbags on the passenger side deployed; both side window airbags and the side seat airbag. there was not enough impact for this to happen and no physical damage to the car. we were shocked by them deploying and counted our blessings no one was in that side of the car at that time. the car was in park and i was in the drivers seat. we have been fighting with honda for a month now and they refuse to fix it under my warranty. my insurance has been investigating this for a week and a half now and too strongly feel this is a warranty issue. no one has ever heard of this happening and now i am still stuck with a brand new car that has the airbags taped up for me to be able to see out my windows. i feel this is defiantly a warranty issue and i want it to be known and people be warn so hopefully this will not happen to their new accords. *tr

Vehicle passenger seat creaks and is not stable, lights on car continue to flicker and dim in and out when a/c and headlights are on. very dangerous. someone will think you are brightening them or stopping suddenly and will either cause a crash or road rage incident. today eddie milan,general manager of sloane honda called me (can verify by cell phone bill) and "told me not to come back to sloane honda anymore" great attitude after multiple purchases and sending multiple customers. honda refuses to admit they have problems>i will complain everyday that it gives me problems. i urge all consumers who have these problems to keep complaining until honda fixes this issue. cars have problems. but flickering headlights and taillights are a danger. *tr

Cars lights dim and blink everytime the cooling fan kicks on and off,this includes headlights,brake lights,all interior lights,a/c fan dims,radio gets softer. this is dangerous to drive at night. people think you are flashing them and jamming on my brakes. i also have problems with upholstry,side air bags,right seat track, out of line bumper and pealing paint. honda has to do something with my 2008 honda accord ex coupe before someone gets killed. please someone help me. *tr
