My affected vehicle was traveling at 30 mph when broadsided by a vehicle traveling at 40-45 mph on the driver's side; my vehicle was also shoved out of the driving lane, proceeded to collide head on with a street sign with the front right and a utility pole with my front left. neither the front or side airbags deployed. the vehicle was totaled and jaws of life was utilized to extricate me. i suffered a left-sided head injury (large contusion, concussion), shoulder injury (rotator cuff, fractured scapula) and back and neck strains. these injuries were caused by contact with the frame of the vehicle on the left side. injuries could have been possibly avoided if side air bag deployed and cushioned the impact/protected driver from contact with vehicle frame. contact with american honda at the national office regarding this matter was met with total disinterest. one person actually told me i should be glad it did not go off because i could have been hurt worse by the airbag. i was also told that there were two recalls for airbags related to my vehicle - neither of which i was contacted. they claimed they had an incorrect address, but i had been previously notified of non-related recalls with no issue of incorrect address, and there are records of the dealer that has done prior recall work. no excuse....updated 02-03-15 *bf

Since i received the recall notice in january, i've been calling almost all honda dealers in our area in san diego ca and they've been telling me that they don't have the parts necessary for the recall. i received a tentative service date on april 11, 2015 with the honda dealer in mission valley but when i called today, they apparently have not received the ordered parts yet, so my schedule was cancelled. same thing with the honda dealer in el cajon. they said that they have no parts as of yet. we highly depend on this vehicle for travel and with the recall issue still unresolved for more than 3 months now, god forbid that we don't get into any accident. in case we do, again god forbid, i demand full responsibility from whoever is not acting fast enough in resolving this dangerous situation with our vehicle! *tr

My problem is that after i got the recall information the local dealership has not been able to get the parts to fix the problem. how long do the companies have to get the parts to the dealers?the recall letter came out in january. it is now the middle of march. *tr

I first called coral springs automall, coral springs, fl 33071 about replacing the airbags in my vehicle (due to a recall) on october 22, 2014. i spoke to a woman who did not identify herself, who seemed reluctant to help, and was told someone would call me back. after waiting three days, on october 25 my husband called again. he spoke to dexter, who promised he would call back when the parts were in stock within 7 to 10 days. again there was no return call. so my husband called again on november 11. this time dexter said that the parts "could be on back order for two months." when questioned about the safety concerns of driving with these demonstrably dangerous airbags, distressing because there is regularly a baby in the car, dexter advised that the airbag fuse be removed until the situation was remedied. once more we received no phone calls from the dealership. thus another call was made on january 06, 2015. my husband again spoke to dexter, who repeated that he would call back in 7 to 10 days. predictably, no one called. another call was placed by my husband on january 15. this time, at last, dexter made an appointment for january 23. on the 23rd, the driver side airbag was replaced, and we were told that the parts for the passenger side were unavailable (no further explanation). they would need to be ordered. i don't comprehend how it is that after months of waiting for these parts, and being forced to drive in an unsafe vehicle, this dealership is still unable to fix the problem--despite making an appointment to do just that. the problems do not subside from here. today, january 27, i went back to the dealership to address the fact that the cover on the driver side airbag was not attached. once again, i was told that the passenger airbag parts were on order and no time frame for completion was offered. *tr

Takata recall i was in an accident in may of 2014. i was hit on the driver's side door/front fender on a city street going approximately 30 miles/hour in a straight direction. the airbags were deployed. i sustained a deep gash on my right forearm and what appeared to be chemical burns on the skin surrounding the gash, both palms and both thumbs that took several weeks to heal. the "burns" worsened over a period of several hours following the crash. i assumed they were chemical burns after doing a quick internet search. i did not go to a doctor but instead treated the area with an antibiotic cream and later, aloe vera. i healed within a few weeks, but i still have a scar on my right forearm from the gash (recent, 2/16/17 photo attached). the injury was caused by the airbag deployment. at the time of the crash both my hands were on the steering wheel at a "10 and 2" position.

While driving the highway from bend oregon to albany oregon i was in a 2 car crash. i recall the explosion of the airbag and then coming to against the rock wall at detroit dam. i had hit the car in front of me sending it spinning and crashing up against the guard rail in the opposite direction. the honda crv went to the right and rolled 3 times coming to a stop on the side. there was medics, police and ambulances that came. the fire department was able to get me out with the jaws of life and i was transported to the salem oregon hospital. the driver of the first car sustained a broken shoulder and torn muscles. i had a severe concussion and seatbelt burns. muscles had been torn from my back and shoulders. i was in therapy for many months and still suffer from the pain and memory loss.

Tl* the contact owns a 2003 honda cr-v. the contact stated that while driving 45 mph, she crashed into the rear of a preceding vehicle. the air bags did not deploy. the driver sustained a fractured sternum and a neck injury. a police report was not filed. the vehicle was not taken to the dealer to determine the cause of the air bag failure. the failure and current mileage was 112,000.

The srs light (airbag sensor) continued to stay lit on my dashboard while driving. i took it to my honda dealer (west hills honda in bremerton, wa) where they informed me they "found" a "code 7-2 in the system", indicating there was an "srs control unit failure". essentially, the electrical unit that would deploy the airbags had failed, which meant i no longer had the potential use of my vehicles airbags in case of an accident. the cost for a new part was $659.95, labor an additional $100.00, which meant a bill close to $800.00 with tax. far beyond my retirement income to handle. it would seem to me this is a safety related issue, similar to a seat belt problem (which honda would take care of for free). this srs control unit rarely fails, they told me. it certainly was not due to my negligence or lack of attention to proper maintenance. it would seem to me that since this is a potential safety issue, and was not caused by negligence by the owner of the vehicle, this should be covered by honda. otherwise, myself and my family are at risk driving this vehicle. i could certainly use your help in convincing honda to replace this faulty unit. thank you for your assistance with this matter. *tr

We were told that the vehicle was in car accident which perhaps lead to the present problems. i'm not an expert on cars. however i do feel a safety concern with the vehicle on the road with children. the vehicle has been sent 4 times; fix mostly a loose noise with steering issues (there connected?). these issues occur constant during turns and on the road. once the mechanic works on the vehicle the problems always return. are there any defects or safety issues regarding loose noise, or steering problems? and prior to any accident? second, the dealer did send the vehicle to honda to check the air bag but that seams to be a concern as well. any ideas for me? third, not only do i have a safety concern but the dealer is not able to provide any documentation of fixing any parts. so we really don't know what is wrong with the vehicle in regards to; what has been fixed or a defect prior to a accident?
