The tpms ligh does not turn off after checking it. i have 5 recalls for airbag at the passenger seat that i did not know of.

Horn randomly going off, while stationary and while driving. its a steady beep as if someone is laying on the horn. this past saturday the horn was going off for hours until i returned home. i had to get in the car and tap the steering well and it stopped. it went off again this morning. a mechanic said that its the airbag pushing pressure on the horn. this has been going on a month or so.

Changed the passenger airbags at recommended dealer by honda. they supposedly changed it and should have done the proper checks to make sure all is well but it was obviously not done as the car ended up locking up seatbelts on driver and passenger from a minor pothole that the case manager is calling a collision. i couldnt believe he insisted that this (hitting a pothole and airbags going off) had happened to him already trying to make it seem normal. more importantly, from the codes that the shop informed me of, seat sensor on passenger side was no good and although no one was sitting on it it locked belts and the airbags failed to inflate. they are with my car 60 days and counting.... never honda again.

Tl* the contact owned a 2008 honda civic. while driving approximately 55 mph, the contact lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a guardrail. the vehicle flipped over a couple of times. there were no warning indicators illuminated. all the air bags deployed except for the driver side air bag. the contact sustained injuries that required medical attention. a police report was filed. the dealer and manufacturer were not made aware of the failure. the vehicle was towed and deemed a total loss by the insurance company. the failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

The car has a problem with the srs wiring harness that controls airbag deployment and driver and passenger safety. this causes the airbag light to come on and prevents proper deployment. the problem is extremely common in hondas, specifically 8th generation cars. the cause is a poorly made wire that gets caught in the passenger seat track, causing a short in the wire. it can only be repaired properly and safely by removing the entire wiring harness and replacing it. this requires that the carpeting and the dashboard be removed and takes 6-8 hours worth of work, and is replaced with a $200-400 part depending on where you take it. it cannot be fixed easily or affordably by the consumer, and prevents the car from being safe to drive or passing inspections in the state of virginia. the problem may have occurred sooner, as the vehicle was only purchased used a few months ago. it happens in most hondas and is not covered by the manufacturer's 150,000 mile warranty on other parts despite having released a tsb to all dealerships because the problem is so common. it presents a danger to drivers and deserves to have a recall issued.

**airbags deployed after driving over pothole** i drive a 2008 honda civic 2dr with 160k miles. on march 15, 2018 i was traveling northbound i-294 when my vehicle collided with a pothole at approx. 65 mph and the driver curtain and driver seat airbag deployed. the impact wasn't hard enough to damage my wheel or body of the car. the pothole should not of interrupted the srs system. this is a result of a defect in honda's air bag/restraint system.
