Tl* takata recall. the contact owns a 2005 honda accord. the contact stated that there was no failure experienced with the air bags until the vehicle was repaired per an unknown recall regarding the air bags. first team honda (3444 western branch blvd, chesapeake, va 23321, (757) 337-6597) performed the recall repair and the dealer was notified that, shortly after the repair, the air bag indicator kept flashing. the dealer indicated that the indicator would turn off, but the failure continued. the contact felt that the recall remedy caused a failure that was not experienced prior to the repair. the dealer stated that the vehicle needed to be diagnosed again. the manufacturer was notified. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was not available.

Front airbag warning light has come on. additionally, the seat belt light on the dash no longer illuminates. forum search says the driver side seat belt sensor is most likely failed.

Air bag needs to be replaced and ever since i bought it i been having steering wheel noise and it shakes constantly. i bought new tires, changed power steering, pump, hose and it still does the same thing. i go to discount tires nearly every two weeks to get tires rebalanced even if its new. they still cant find the problem. car also turns off sometimes. happpened five times already. the steering whistle sound is constant now and when my car turned off it was on the street parked and also making turns causes the steering wheel to be stiff.

Do not reseived information about this case

The airbag light is alway turn on had while driving,turns off sometimes when turning on streets but then it turn back on

I have 2005 honda accord which is not included in the takata recall but i have a airbag light that goes off and on. as a result, my passenger side seat belt locked up when i took it to the dealer they said that the engine read a code that said it was involved in rear collision and it was not. they also stated that the seat belt could have locked up because the airbag light is on. someone was sitting in the seat and had to maneuver to get out of it. the dealership has told me it will cost $800 and up to repair the seat belt (and it was not covered under the lifetime warranty for seat belts)but when i took the car to honda the airbag light was not on at that moment so they told me it was nothing they can do unless it was on. i believe that this is a problem because the dealership also told me that if i have a faulty airbag that my seat belt may continue to lock up. i am hesitant to fix the seat belt because of the airbag situation.

Takata airbag recall

Tl* the contact owned a 2005 honda accord. while driving approximately 50 mph, another vehicle was stalled on the road. the contact failed to see the vehicle and crashed into the rear of the other vehicle. the air bags failed to fully deploy. the contact sustained an injury to the sternum that required medical attention. a police report was filed. the vehicle was towed from the scene. the vehicle was destroyed. the dealer was not contacted. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the contact stated that he was not aware that the vehicle had two recalls for nhtsa campaign numbers: 15v370000 and 15v320000 (air bags). the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was unavailable.

Takata recall.....i purchased this car 2 years ago and the seat belt warning light has always been lit. i just had my oil changed today and the repair shop advised me that there was an error code which means defective air bag. also the driver seat belt buckle showed defective. yesterday i received 2 different emails from nhtsa for 2 recalls (#19v499 and #19v501). no letter was received from honda yet but i hate to wait for a letter to arrive as that could take 60 days, then would have to wait for the dealer to get the parts and then get an appointment. this situation is life-threatening. is there any way to speed this process up? also the repair shop stated that a lot of the air bags that have been replaced, are now being recalled.

Takata recall: on july 21 2017, my srs light on my 2005 accord came on while turning the wheel to back out of a parking space. bought the car in march of 2017 and had no issues up until this time. the light has remained on ever since. ran this vehicles vin and found no open recalls. my wife drives this car and is very petite, i fear for her safety, as well as my own as we both use the car. no help from dealer.

The air bag dash light comes on intermittently. the light will come on and go off randomly. stays on for days then will go off for days. my concern is about safety. will the air bag not deploy in the event of a collision while the light is on?

The driver's side air bag light stays on. the dealer wants to charge a ridiculous amount of money to "search every wire associated" with the air bag system. this was a problem with 2005's manufactured 7/20/2004-10/8/2004 and they were recalled. apparently, the problem was never fixed and multiple vehicle owners have reported this. why has the recall not been extended to all 2005's? i fear for my safety every time i drive. i can't afford the repair nor can i just go buy a new car!

Airbag deployed while driving and caused accident. accord rear ended another vehicle. there is a recall on the airbag of this vehicle with offer to remedy however honda told me they will not honor the recall after the fact because the bag already deployed. 4/13/2017 accident is recorded on illinois motorist report #209078 filed in cook county via schaumburg police department report# 17-07912. airbag still has not been repaired as the vehicle is unsafe to drive due to another safety recall not being honored - (fuel pump issue causing vehicle to stall while driving).

Takata recall. my 2005 honda accord airbag/srs light has been continuously staying off and on.

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 honda accord. while driving 65 mph, the vehicle drove over a rock in the road and the air bags deployed without warning or impact. no injuries were sustained. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 177,143.

The line for power steering began leaking and caught fire and i had to replace the line at my expense. i could not get help from the dealer at that time. i have my receipt for the line that was about$149.00 to replace.

Takata recall i was coming to a stop for a traffic light and did not brake in time to stop my vehicle before i tapped into the rear bumper of an suv. i was going very slow /probably under 10mph. my drivers side airbag deployed and i got cuts on my arm and a chemical burn as well. my drivers side seatbelt is not working now (locked.) i have slight damage on the right front passenger side bumper. i became aware of the takata airbag recall after this happened. this occurred on 2/20/2017 in the daytime/ clear, sunny skies.

Takata recall my honda was totaled in february, it was a head on collision and not one of the airbags deployed. this car is supposed to be equipped with airbags in front and side airbags. not one deployed. i had 3 recalls on airbags and returned to the dealership each time to have them fixed but that did not help. the vehicle was in motion when hit on a highway. it was turning and a truck hit me head on. i have attached images.

Air bag light is currently on. light stays on, on the dashboard of vehicle

Takata inflators - i never got a recall notice and they are saying that my airbag was fixed in 2014 i know for sure i have not been into a dealership to get this fixed - how do i get my airbag fixed?

Takata recall upon completion of the takata airbag recall the vehicle is continually having problems with the airbag light being displayed on the instrument panel. the passenger and driver side is affected. the passenger side airbag off indicator no longer illuminates when the seat is not occupied as well. prior to the recall there were no problems with the airbag lights for driver or passenger. the above issue is noted when the vehicle is in motion and stationary with the engine on.

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 honda accord. while stationary and driving various speeds, the air bag indicator illuminated without warning. the contact stated that the air bag indicator illuminated intermittently over a period of time especially in hot weather conditions. walsh honda in macon, georgia was made aware of the failure and stated that the vin was not included in the takata air bag recall. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 60,000.

Takata recall we have 2 hondas that had the airbags replaced as part of the recall. shortly after the airbag was replaced the srs light came on the dashboard of both vehicles. rt. 23 honda, pompton plains, nj did the replacement. they want $300 for each vehicle to fix the problem that they say is not related to the airbag replacement. it seems unlikely that both of our cars would have the same problem after the airbag replacement. i have filed second report since 2 vin numbers are involved. i also filed a report with honda. we last spoke to rt. 23 honda about this on 4/21/2016.

I was involved in a car accident. i was driving a honda accord 2005 and was rear ended by a bmw x5. there seemed to be minor damage to my rear bumper with no collision from the front. the next day, i started my car turn on the ac and let the car cool down. i stepped out of the car and in a few minutes the driver airbag deployed. i took the car to honda motor so they could find out what is wrong witht the car, but honda wants 115 dollars to make a dianostic which i think is ridiculous. please advice, i'm driving a car without airbags that honda refuses to even look at unless i pay 115 dollars.

After taking my 05 accord in for the driver and passenger airbag recall and having them replaced, the employee at the honda service center told me that my srs light is on and it is probably because of the sensor for the harness. this light has been coming on and off for well over a year, and recently has just stayed on at all times. he told me it would cost $130 just to diagnose this problem, and then the cost of fixing it, if this is indeed what is causing the light to stay on. my vin is not part of the honda recall for this specific issue, i believe honda somehow did not take into account all of the vins that are effected by this recall. i talked to honda and they are unwilling to help at all. i am currently pregnant and a petite woman, the highest risk factor for this issue if the airbags fail to deploy. very disappointed in honda. will be contacting my attorney after diagnosis is made, assuming diagnosis is specifically the same as the recall.

Takata recall- i cannot get any answers from honda at 1-888-234-2138 regarding why my honda takata has not been recalled. they put me on hold and never pick up again. it's a total run around. i do not feel safe driving this car anymore or letting anyone drive it knowing metal projectiles may blind me or pierce my neck.why is there not a total recall of takata airbags in honda's?
