My driver side air bag is already deployed. when i called my honda dealership to schedule the passenger side, i asked if the driver side would also be done. the rep said that it would. when i got to the dealership, they tried to charge me $250.00 to have it done. i cannot afford this. the date of 05/01/2015 is a guess.

i started the car and received a message that the passenger airbag was not working. i took it to my mechanic and he repaired it for me at a cost of approximately $400.00(to the best of my recollection).

I have been in and replaced my airbag sensors 3 times with the recall. after the 2nd or 3rd time i was in for the recall the lining of the roof of my car has completely fallen in and makes it impossible for me to see out the rear view mirror. i have included a picture of the roof of my car as it looks now. i should have video of the transition of events but i think my external hard drive has crashed completely. i have been in to honda of concord in north carolina where they have told me there was nothing they could do as far as repairing it for free and i would have to pay. why has no one looked at a computer glitch as the culprit for the airbag sensors automatically releasing air? something has to trigger the sensor to start slowly releasing air, as i was told at honda of south hill, virginia where i originally had my sensors replaced for the recall.

Dear sir or madam, the air bags (driver and passenger side) deployed on my 2006 honda accord at less than 10mph with my seat belts on resulting in scratches on my left front bumper (no other visible hard impact damage). this incident occurred while performing a slow turn into a parking lot spot. i had contacted both honda usa and my local dealership expressing my concern that once repaired, the air bags could again unintentional deploy while driving the car. honda usa asked me to take car to local honda dealer for inspection and evaluation. i brought my car at honda dealer but they said they were not equipped with skill and tools to inspect and evaluate and stated that i should go to a third party collision shop. i contacted honda usa again and they asked me to go to my insurance company to determine if a defect is present. i believe those are unacceptable and surprising suggestions. it is my believe that honda has a major defect in the air bag sensor and does not wish to investigate and/or acknowledge culpability in a defective safety component. requesting to advise me on how should i proceed. *tr

Rear ended another car that was stopped making a left turn, causing air bag to explode. this was maybe 5 years ago. i am still digging out pieces of metal on my face. i guess my sunglasses protected my eyes. happened on a city 2 lane city street.

On the morning of 1/28/2013 at approximately 7:30am cst, i walked out to my car to start it. when i turned the key, the passenger side curtain air bags deployed. since it was -12f outside, i figured there was some sort of mechanical failure and honda would cover it. i called honda of lisle, il and they asked that i bring it in for diagnostics. i dropped the car off thursday morning and later they called and said they found scrapes under the car and that the computer returned srs codes that indicated a collision took place. i told them that there have only been two incidents with the car, neither of which required any body work. we ran over a very deep pothole in 2006, which required the rim to be replaced. in 2007 (or possibly 08), i fell into the rear passenger side quarter panel while attempting to roller blade for the first time and dented it. because the scrapes that he described seem to have been in the exact same area as where we hit the pothole, i figured they must have come from that. they told me their zone manager from honda america needed to investigate the issue further and would be in the next day (friday) and that they would contact me with the results. on friday, i spoke to my service advisor and he informed me that the zone manager denied my claim due to his belief that a collision had taken place and because my car is out of warranty. on monday, 2/3/2013, i called honda of lisle again and spoke with the general service manager, [xxx] . after explaining my situation to him, he said there is nothing he can do and that covering the expense is up to the discretion of the zone manager. i then called honda corporate, only again to be denied, given the same reason. i am now stuck with a car with deployed airbags that are going to cost over $2,000 to repair. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

I was driving out of my neighbood in a 25 mph zone and hit a mail truck on the wrong side if the road. i hit the mail truck after turning a corner, as i turned the corner, a spider crawled from the ceiling of my car and i tried to swat it away and didn't see the mail truck. the impact caused the airbag to deploy but the deployment of the airbag was delayed, it did not happened immediately but a few seconds after the impact causing bad burns and blisters to my hand. i did not seek medical attention but doctored on my hand myself; it took months before the appearance if my hand would look normal. i have pictures. the repair shop, tow truck and police officer could not understand why the airbag deployed in the first place with such low speed. it took months to get my car repaired, longer than normal. i am the original owner of the car. the recent recalls have caused me to write this, i had no idea the airbags were defective. it was a very big inconvienience to me.

"honda america" needs to take responsibility!!!! called an accident attorney to deal with honda america. *tr

I filled up my car at the hess station on route 112 in coram , long island, new york. i put my car , slowly in reverse and the car took off like it had a mind of it's own. i stepped on the brake, but nothing happened and the car continued to speed up in reverse- with my foot on the brake - heading towards a van with a baby in it in a car seat. i quickly put the car in forward, and with my foot still on the brake, the car flew across the parking lot of the gas station, crossed two lanes of traffic, crashed into the woods. i steered away from a telephone pole i was definitely going to hit and, when i went into the woods the air bag went off and covered my face. i then went back across two lanes of traffic again, with the airbag over my face, and crashed into the curb in front of the hess station when i reported the accident to my insurance company, the hartford, i asked them to check out the speed sensor- . my insurance company said they would not be able to check out the speed sensor. i then called honda customer service and told them of the incident. they informed me that, unless they received a request from the hartford, they would not check out the speed sensor. i then called the hartford and requested that they call honda to have the car inspected by honda themselves. hartford told me that they would not pay to have honda inspect the vehicle - they were just going to have their adjuster look at the car and told me they were not going to look at the speed sensor at all. so , basically, no one is willing to do anything and i almost killed a baby in a car seat and myself this seems ludicrous to me that no one is even willing to check this defect out. i sincerely hope that you can help me with this very difficult situation. *tr *js
