Problems with 1996 Honda Accord AIR BAGS

Takata recall. i was in a accident on sycamore street in baton rouge louisiana on 1/3/18 and a piece of metal shard punctured my leg and fracture my tibia. i was treated for contusions of chest wall also at ochsner on o'neal lane . i'm currently on bedrest and have to remain of my leg and can't return to work until i have a follow-up on 1/9/18. i really would like to attend to this matter as soon as possible , thank you and have a blessed day

Takata recall notice was sent to me on 10/31/2017. i key in my vin and it meets the airbag recall or replace requirement. i then following the online instruction and call a local honda authrized dealer. they answered my call and check the vin to see if my 1996 honda 2 door hatchback accord meets the airbag replacement. they told me that my vehicle does not meet the airbag replace/recall service. i am filing this complaint to bring the attention to the nhtsa regarding this safety issue.

Takata recall. i have a 10 year old honda accord that is well within the danger zone for recall for airbag failure. todays washington post says takata admits the problem and says it will recall 40 million affected vehicles. i should be high on the priority list can you help me assure this?.

Air bag light comes on, won't go off. this has been going on since april 2016. light comes on when car is started, and stays on while driving till car is turned off. i read this is an ongoing thing. why isn't there a recall on this problem? the cost to have this fixed is half the value of what the car is worth.

srs system light on after car is running, approx. cost to repair 900.00 .is there a recall on this problem , seems there is a lot of people experiencing same as myself . *tr

I had a 1996 honda accord v6 2.7 liters with srs light stays on. i took the vehicle to the honda dealership and i was told that the srs control module unit has a failure and need to be replaced. the unit price is over $700 dollar without installation labor. i talked to american honda motor and they refused to assist fixing this safety concern. honda suppose to lower the prices for parts on older cars to match the current value of the car.

Srs light is on (air bag). just noticed it come on while driving. too expensive to fix, will cost half what car is worth. why is their no recall? seams to be a common problem. it's been like this for long time.

Takata inflators & safety belt failed on impact in motion on the highway.

Started up car and the srs light was on. still remains on after running and driving n for over 60 miles .. car has not had any accidents, hasn't been driven much because it is a second car .. updated 01/20/11 *bf

In 1996 v6 honda accord, the srs light come on and several trials were done to erase the fault. the dealer told me that the srs control module need to be replaced at $800 cost. dealer told that the airbag will not be deployed in case of an accidents. *tr

Horn works occasionally, srs light won't go off,speedometer stop working. *tr

This is the second contact on this car. the srs light has been since approximately since 01/05/2010. i have never been contacted about a recall.. *tr

I own a 1996 honda accord lx which has a faulty driver side seat belt. i don't have the money to fix the problem and is quite expensive. this happened 4 or five months ago and is, of course, a serious safety concern. now, as of this date, the srs light has come on which apparently is another safety concern due to the fact that the airbags will not deploy. *tr

1996 honda accord ex-l. consumer writes in regards to airbags in vehicle did not deploy after accident. *as *js

1996 honda accord lx. purchased a new cigarette phone charger, plugged it into the lighter which blew the fuse that controls the lighter and radio. replaced fuse and verified power was restored to aforementioned electronics. consequently, additionally noted that the srs light was now also illuminated. took car to mechanic, who diagnosed problem to be a fried srs control unit. in addition was told that this shop has seen many of same era hondas with same problem... there is an issue with the unit not being grounded, allowing other simple fuse failures to back feed the unit and destroy it. honda does not have a recall on there 1996 airbag system; however the 1995 had a problem... the replacement part is an "updated" part with new features to prevent similar failures of re-occurrence. $750.00 for part and labor to install. this is clearly an manufacture defect. *tr

1-there are no major events which lead up to the failure. 2-the srs light has come on randomly 3. nothing was done to correct this failure. i have noticed that many people are having problems with the srs light coming on in honda accords and mine is no exception. nothing has been done by honda to make sure this safety feature is corrected. that is very disappointing. *tr

Tl*- the contact stated that while driving on a major road at 30 mph, another vehicle ran through a stop sign and made a left turn directly striking the contact's 1996 honda civic head on, and neither the driver nor passenger air bags deployed. the contact stated that the vehicle was severely damaged and was not drivable. the contact stated that there hasn't been any maintenance work done on the airbags . *ak

I understand that any part that has to do with car safety needs to be corrected by the dealer. yet, i contacted both the dealer and american honda motor co. inc. both of them refused to correct the problem. they even told me that their supervisor's never contact or talk to car owners. my airbag light indicator has illuminated indicating a problem and a malfunction in the airbag system. i am very concerned that i may have an accident and i will not be protected by my airbag. please help me resolve this matter as soon as possible. please note that i have not been in accident. yet, i am entering the information below otherwise it will not let me continue. *jb consumer states he wants air bags to be fixed by the manufacturer. consumer also states dealership has warranty on airbags 3 years or 36,000 miles or whichever comes first. 4/23/07 *tr

Srs light comes on. efforts to correct/reset by dealership and others has only a temporary affect. told by dealership the srs "control module" needed replacing. *tr

Tl* - the contact stated that the air bag srs light in the 1996 honda accord will not turn off. the contact stated he has not had the vehicle diagnosed because they will charge him $75. the contact stated the vehicle has not been involved in a crash. the contact stated he has not had any repair work done on the air bag. *ak updated 2/22/2007 - *nm

On friday, feb. 10, 2006, at 10:12 am (pst) the santa maria fire dept. responded to a traffic collision and after investigation, we found what appeared to be a partial deployment of the driver's and passenger's airbag. the steering wheel airbag cover split partially open as did the passenger's, but the airbag did not deploy. vehicle information: 1996 honda accord 2-door. vin: 1hgej6225tlo36355 our incident report number 2006-0000786. digital photos were taken and are on file if needed. *jb

I started the ignition of my 1996 honda accord ex and the passenger airbag deployed unexpectedly. the explosion was very loud and cracked the windshield of the car. i was not moving at the time. the car was still in park with the brake on. i got very scared.

Electrical problems, with door lock actuators and srs systems wheel alignment brake problems, transmission problems yes , parts were replaced, repaired but i still have the same problems, after spending thousands of dollars. *nm

Shouldn't safety equipment be repaired by manufacturer at no cost to consumer if consumer has done nothing to cause malfunction? my srs light and abs light is on(1996 honda accord ex). my honda dealer wants $1000+ to fix the srs light and $1500-$1700 to replace the abs modulator/accumulator. i had the car for 3 weeks when the first problem light came on and now i have two safety problems. can you help me out on this? *jb

Srs light stays on. is their recall on this?*jb

The air bag light illuminated again after the vehicle was serviced. *jb *nm

Srs light came on for 1996 honda accord v6 ex without any incident. dealer diagnosed and could not understand the error code and suggested replacement of srs control unit. not changing the srs control unit might cause airbags not inflate when required. the cost of repair is $800 and not necessary it would fix the issue. i searched online and found this is very common problem with accords. such safety related problems should be recalled by honda.

While vehicle was parked/running front air bags inadvertently deployed, shattering the front windshield. dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem. *ak

Srs light comes on at start up and stays on. abs light comes on and costs over a $1000.00 to replace modulator. this is ridiculous!!!*ak

I bought the car on oct 22nd, and on the second day it stalled because of wrong fuse being placed in the car. during that check up i found out that the car has had extensive body damage and none of this is shown up in carfax report and also the dealer told me that the car was never involved in any accident. so i want to return the car under consumer fraud.

Two major safety related problems regarding to the supplemental restraint system. in july 2000 the srs system failed due to a faulty control unit. in july 2003 the system again failed and was diagnosed as a non-functioning passenger side air bag.*ak

Without warning the air bag and the abs light illuminated and stayed on the entire time the vehicle was in motion. *jb

The abs and air bag lights illuminated. the vehicle was taken to the dealership who stated the abs modulator, abs accumulator, and the air bag controller unit had to be replaced. *jb *ts

Abs and air bag safety system failed at the same time on a 1996 honda accord w/ 90,000 miles. *jb

Both the abs and the srs indicator lights came on. had dealer check and was told i need a new abs accumulator and modulator, in addition to a new srs controlunit, ( air bag system). these are both cost prohibitive, were very expensive optional saftey features offered at the time of sale. i have looked on line and this appears to be a wide spread problem with the accord 1994-1999 and the odyssey, both of which use the same abs modulator/accumulator. upon diagnosis, the dealer assured me that this was "normal wear and tear."

The air bag light illuminated on the dash board and stayed on. *jb

Srs light came on and will not go out. car was taken to dealer for diagnosis. dealer says srs unit has internal failure, (code 8-5) needs replacing. unit failure is not covered by manufacturer. there are several complaints similar to this one, why is honda not recalling this system?? research shows many problems with air bag systems on this 1996 model.*jb

The vehicle was involved in an accident, and the air bags did not deploy.*jb

Dt: the contact states there is a problem with the srs light staying on. the vehicle has not been inspected due to the cost of having a diagnostic test done. *ak the dealer suggested the consumer wait to see if a recall would be issued. updated 11/29/05. *jb updated 01/04/06.

Consumer states that air bag system failed and had to be replaced. air bag has never deployed. mr

Srs dash board light had been intermittenly staying on after engine start up. turning off and on engine would cause light to go off. two days ago, light stayed on and will not go off, while ingnition is on. system was scanned and code indicates air bag passive restraint controller has failed. air bag system is inoperable. the air bag in this vehicle has never been activated. this appears to be a system defect since control unit has never had to be actuated. honda should be asked to cover this item by recalling vehicle for this safety defect. mr

Air bag light remains on while driving. vehicle taken to a repair shop, and had safety restraint system unit replaced. manufacturer was notified. *ak the airbag light illuminated and the battery needed replacing. this vehicle was never involved in an accident. *jg

Air bag light will come on. after taking vehicle to dealer, dealer noted that air bags may not deploy.*ak

While traveling a low speed both airbags deployed without an impact to vehicle. dealership is aware of problem.*ak

Customer was driving on a rough road approximately 30mph and air bag deployed for no reason. the insurance company will cover the damage to the car but not the replacement of the air bags. we're wanted to know if there are any recalls for the airbags and if there is someone we may contact to help our customer?

Air bag light will continuously come on and stay on while consumer is driving. contacted dealer, and dealer noted that there could be a problem with the air bag. *ak.*tt

Consumer states the airbag light started to blink on and off, then it stayed on. took to dealer and stated the srs system needed to be replaced. nlm *tt

Srs light came on while driving. took to dealer they could not find anything wrong, reset the system. while still at dealer start the car, and the srs light stays on. they tell me it's a possible cable reel problem, when they take a look at it there isn't anything wrong. they reset the system, and made multiple test drives without the light coming on. next time i start the car the light comes on. they have no idea what is wrong, but i can pay to have the airbag replaced, and the internal computer of the car replaced. i have yet to take it back since they don't know what is wrong.*ak
