Problems with 2001 Honda Civic AIR BAGS

Takata recall my vehicule has a srs code that i could not reset so a friend of mine tells me it may be the airbag that needs to replace since honda does it for free

I took my car in for recall repairs on airbags may 2017 i was in a car accident july 6, 2017 driver side airbag didn't deploy causing me to suffer injuries to my chest via the steering wheel the passenger airbag deployed partially however upward and threw out sparks burning my 17 year old daughters nose i was driving at about 40-45 mph on a main street when a car turned left in front of me i hit the side of his car i wont upload images of my injuries as it is my breast, chest , and stomach area

On june 2, 2018, i was pulling into my space at my apartment with my friend in the passenger seat. the car suddenly and uxpectantly acceralted and jumped the curb and hit a tree which stopped the car. the airbags did not employ.both of us were sore for the next few days but no major injuries.

Takata recall. my 2001 honda civic has been sitting my my drive for about a month and is not being used as my primary vehicle. yesterday the car seemed fine; windows clear, no smell, etc. however, when returning today the car had the smell of burnt plastic which was overpowering and went to see why it smelled and then noticed that the windows were covered in soot. the driver side door was opened and the smell was 100% stronger and you could see that the plastic on the passenger side dash was burnt and melting right around where the airbag; i will send pictures. it looked like the dash had melted from the inside out and besides the car covered in soot the damage is located specifically on the passenger side around the airbag and glove compartment. in working to complete this report i noticed how it asks how many miles are on the car, but the only way to see the number of miles is by turning the car on. i am hesitiant to turn the car on since i don't know what happened and don't think it is safe. however, i know the car has over 200,000 miles but i am not sure as the exact number of miles.

Takata air bag it was stationary seatbelt was defected

Takata recall. honda sent out a tech to my house to replace my airbag. 2 days later the srs light came on , so i took it to the honda dealer, brian dambrosio said i have a srs internal failure and said airbag needed to be replaced. now andy at honda said , he was told its not the airbag and there is nothing he can do for me. i hope i don't die as a result of honda's nonaccountability

I got a letter saying the car i have has a defection & it's bout the airbags!

Takata recall - i had recall notice . - 7/13 - hennessy honda - woodstock, ga ( invoice # hocs623783) passenger airbag inflator was installed). at that time my mileage was 117,706. in sept. 2017 i took car to honda carland - alpharetta, ga (where i purchased the car in aug., 2001) as the srs light would not turn off. mechanic was able to turn it off. in dec. 2017 both srs light and side airbag lights would not go off. i was told that the opds unit and sensor were bad internally, causing code 15-3 - need to be replaced, and quoted me over $1000 to do so. i believe this is related to the recall that was received and supposedly fixed in 2013.. i feel that honda should replace the passenger side airbag assembly. both lights still remain on, and i am hesitant to let anyone sit in the passenger side seat.

The was just park and when i put the ignition key on the steering wheel and key ignition didn't want to start

Takata recall. i was never informed by the dealer that my car was among the hondas being recall due to the air bag. i purchased my car used from brown mazda in chantilly, va. please let me know what i need to do since is my 23-yr old son who drives the car. thank you. the date i'm typing below is when i'm sending this email. nothing has happen with air bags - yet. i watched a report on the news that said to check and make sure. the provided the url address.

We had a front end collision that totaled our vehicle - and the air bags did not go off - person in front of us had no brake lights and stoppe-d dead in front of us -the front end of our vehicle collided with the rear end of hers thank god we were not badly injured. we were in motion on a city street

The drivers and passengers airbags did not deploy during a frontal impact crash involving a honda civic and gmc yukon truck. my vehicle the honda civic was heading on a two-lane street at approximately 35 to 40 miles per hour before impact into a stopped truck making a left turn across oncoming traffic while honda was in motion the brakes were applied. cause is unknown at this time on why the airbags did not deploy. all recalls have been complied with for the 2001 honda civic. recall 13v-132: recall 14v-351 completed. number of open recalls are zero at this time.

Takata recall i was on the freeway north in first lane, the vehicle was pulling heavy to the right. i remember going into a fishtail then to the right which was grassy and dirt . slamming sideways up against a wall or fence ending up drivers side. driver's side steering airbag did not deploy. passenger side as i watch it pop out and smoking. several people had stopped to give me assistance and advised me to turn the car off due to it smoking.

On march 12, 2016 my wife and i were traveling home to santa cruz from oakland on highway 880. while stopped in stop-and-go traffic we were hit from behind by a vehicle traveling at high speed. unfortunately, our air bags never deployed resulting in serious injury to my wife and myself. we had recently taken the car to the dealer, ocean honda in soquel, california, after receiving notice that the air bags on the vehicle were defective and needed to be replaced. our car was completely totaled as was the car that hit us. while none of our air bags deployed the air bags in the vehicle that struck us all deployed. i'm not sure all of our injuries could have been avoided if the air bags had deployed, but i'm sure the extent of our injuries would have been lessened. i don't know if the recall work done on our car was negligent, or if they just turned off the air bag system. but whatever was or was not done has had a serious impact on my wife and myselfi.

The srs and side airbag lights are illuminated on the front dash. after having the takata airbag recall performed on my car, i was told that these lights were unrelated. instead, i would need to pay somewhere between $600-$1,000 to have the srs control unit replaced, which may solve the issue. in the meantime, my side and passenger side airbags will not work in a crash. i have not had any incidents yet (no crashes) but feel that i am at risk if i were to be in a crash during which airbag deployment would normally occur.

I took my car in for service to my local dealership on 3/23/15, which i booked online. i was able to book my recall service for the airbag inflater online as well, which no issues. i was asked when i brought in the car if i had called to order parts, i had not as there was no indication when i booked that i needed to do so. i was simply told parts would be ordered for me and they would let me know when they were in. after two weeks i called the dealership to inquire on my ordered parts, i was told parts can take "2 to 3 days or one to two months" to get in due to a backlog. i contacted honda via social media and was told that someone would be in touch with me. two weeks later i still have yet to receive parts, hear from my local dealership or hear from anyone in honda's customer service department. my initial recall notice indicates this is a potentially life-threatening, dangerous issue that needs to be addressed, and yet despite my best efforts i am still stuck with faulty parts and no timeline for repairs. a two month wait for parts in a dangerous recall is irresponsible and potentially leaves me liable in the event of an accident involving these parts as i have been notified of their danger but otherwise unable to replace them. *tr

The srs light has been on in my vehicle for some time. i took in the vehicle to the dealer (metro honda, jersey city, nj) for the airbag inflator recall, but after i left, the light was still on. on my next visit i inquired about this, and the dealer told me i need a new srs system, at a cost of $730+ and that honda will not cover the cost. and, until i fix the srs system, the airbags will not deploy. i called honda on november 10, 2014, and they confirmed that i will have to pay for this out of pocket as there has been no recall issued. so, now i am driving around in a vehicle with airbags that will not deploy in the event of a crash. *tr
