I had my car taken in for the airbag recall and the SRS light remains on. I also have the check engine light on constantly. I do not believe they fixed my recall completely and believe my vehicle has several other recalled issues at hand. Including the transmission not working properly. The headlight s do not give proper lighting and visibility is horrible at night. The seatbelt on my driver side locks all the time when I try to look over my shoulder. The tcs light sporadically comes on when the road conditions change and I do not feel safe but I don't have the finances to get dealership autoshop work performed. So if I do get into an accident due to these defects being faulty to begin with don't say I didn't try and get help.

Takata recall repairs and replacement to my 2001 honda accord were effected on 2/22/16. On 5/3/16 I was braking for a red light when I heard a loud pop sound followed by a stinging pain in my left arm. When I turned to look at my arm I noticed the airbag from the left side of my car seat had deployed and was now hanging deflated next to me. The air bag left a red welt, it didn't bruise me and the redness only lasted a couple of days. I called my father and he advised me not to drive the car. We had it towed to our mechanic who advised us to take it back to the dealer. A service manager at long beach honda looked at the deployed air bag and said the car had been in an accident. We asked him to take a closer look at the vehicle. When he discovered no damage to the body of the car he got down on all fours, looked under the driver's side of car, stood up, and said there were smudges on the undercarriage. When I informed him I didn't run over anything, he said the best he could do was repair the air bag and reset the sensors for about $1,000. We left and contacted honda and told them what happened. A representative at honda said he would contact the dealership and authorize an inspection of the vehicle. We dropped the vehicle off on 5/16/16 at 8:30am and they contacted us around 5:00pm that same day and said that they had completed the inspection. The technican said he discovered the front passenger side tire appeared to have been pushed into the tire well at some point and because some screws on the steering arm were newer, repairs had been made. We told him it still didn't explain why one airbag deployed on the opposite side of the car. He said it was because the passenger seat was empty. When we asked why the steering wheel air bag didn't deploy he said the sensors decide which airbags to trigger. We realized all they were looking for was a reason get out of it.
Takata recall. Honda has mistakenly labeled our vehicle's airbag recall as completed despite our concern that they have incorrect information. We have lived in austin, tx since june 20th, 2015. Yet, the recall service was supposedly taken place on august 20th, 2015 in lewisville, tx . This is impossible. Lewisville is over 200 miles away from austin and it was recorded as being brought in by a woman whom I have never met or even heard of. After repeated phone calls to american honda motors and a "claims case" that produced no results whatsoever the result from honda's investigation is "we have it marked as completed, sorry. You can pay for an inspection if you want." I find this completely unacceptable and the fact that honda will not inspect my vehicle's safety is an outrage.
Takata recall called honda headquarter (888) 234-2138 to complain local honda dealership will not provide loaner car or shuttle service while the air bag being fix. Complained to headquarter 4/15/2016 4:00pm. Headquarter says it's not their problem. Within 10 miles radius these dealerships will not provide any transportation service while air bag is being service, which can take 3-4 hours. 1)bill page honda 6715 arlington blvd, falls church, va 22042 2)honda of tysons corner 1580 spring hill rd vienna, va 22182-2205 ( 703) 749-6600 3) browns arlington honda/ 3920 lee hwy arlington, va 22207-3724 (703) 522-8808 4)rosenthal landmark honda 5125 duke st alexandria, va 22304-2927 (703) 823-8000 5) rosenthal fairfax honda 11020 fairfax blvd fairfax, va 22030-5046 (703) 934-8500 6) sheehy honda 7434 richmond hwy alexandria, va 22306-2301 (703) 660-0100 7) honda of chantilly 4175 stonecroft boulev chantilly, va 20151 (703) 633-2400
Takata recall honda called me back in january to notify me of the inflator recall on my car and told me I need to bring it in to be repaired. Since I was working a lot at the time and was carpooling with my brother I took the option to set up an appointment at a later date. I recently got to the point where I need to start driving the car a lot again I called honda back to set up the appointment. They notified me that the recall was already complete and gave me the number to the location this repair was apparently done. I called them and they told me a different dealer was the one that did the recall. I went back and forth between different dealers and honda's resolution team multiple times over the next few days before they finally gave me the number to the honda association. I called them and the lady on the phone told me it was already done. I explained everything that happened and she continued to tell me that the recall was already done in houston (which is about a 4-hour drive from where I live) on january 29th. She told me that there was nothing she could do to help me and continued that it was already done. I am the only one that drives this honda and definitely did not take it to be repaired, and honda won't do anything about it. Meanwhile after going back and forth with them the past few weeks I am at the point where I am driving my car with dangerous inflators and can't get the repair work done that was supposed to be offered by honda, with a new job in frisco (about an hour drive) starting in a few weeks. I told the lady on the phone that I was going to contact the federal safety agency next and she said that she would make note of that.

Takata recall. Yesterday went to coggin honda of orlando florida answering a recall letter I received from them and from honda headquater, but service was denied because car did not have original part.

As crazy as it sounds ,I just had the takata recalled air bag replaced several weeks ago in my honda from takata. Today november 6th I was involved in a front end collision going around 35mph on a state highway. The new replaced air bag on the drivers side steering wheel never deployed but the passenger air bag did deploy. The tow truck driver said he has never seen just a passenger air bag go off and not the drivers bag go off to. The drivers air bag never deployed is there a problem with this new air bag from takata not going off or an installation issue?. The air bag was replaced by smart honda dealership in des moines iowa several week ago. The car is at impound right now at the towing company it is not going anywhere because of the damage to the car. There is a police report of the accident...thx
First of all I'm the original owner. Ive had my SRS dash light come on in the past and honda replaced my seat belt buckle and honda had covered the repair on this . The light came on again recently and when I took it in for an oil change the dealership checked the light issue and told me the SRS unit was bad and it would be at least $700 for the repair. I feel this is a major safety issue(airbags won't deploy) and I am seeing this is quite common on this particular make , model , year . I feel that this should be a safety recall because it can definitely be a contributing factor to a fatality in the event of a serious accident .
To honda corporation re: recall department on june 19 2014 I was driving my 2001 honda accord coupe when I was suddenly hit by a delivery truck who was trying to make an illegal left turn in front of me. My car was total. The front side and passenger side of my car are totally demolished. The irony of it all is that, the front and the side air bag failed to deploy. And as the result I was severely injured without the protection of the air bag. On march 2015 which is almost a year after my accident I received an air bag recall letter from honda corporation. I should have received the warning and recall letter before my accident which is june 19 20014. Honda corporation is responsible for my injuries for making a defaulted air bag and failed to warn me about the situation before my accident. I am asking the maker of honda to pay for my outstanding medical bills which is incurred due to the accident. I still have my honda. Honda corporation refuse to reply to my letter. That's why I am making this complaint to the honda corporation truly [xxx] VIN unavailable information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

The date listed above should be 2/14/2001, when I first bought the car. When I was driving it home the airbag light up. I took the car bag and I'm not sure what was fixed. As the years passed by the light continued to light up. I took the car back to the service department several times. They never offered me another car or fixed the problem. As the years went on there was finally a recall issued. But to this day the light still comes on. I should have been compensated a defective car but I was never offered another car or a reduced price. I recently received a recall notice but your website does not list my VIN. Can I bring my car to the headquarters location in torrance for an inspection/fix the problem and I would like to be compensated for buying a new car that did not live up to honda's standards from day 1 ( february 14, 2001)... Updated 09/30/15
I was t-boned on the drivers side. The airbag deployed and metal lacerated my eyelid causing a cataract and permanent pupil damage.
Driver and passenger air bags did not open in the dash during a rollover and front end hit. Driver had head injuries from the rollover when his head hit the top of the car. He would have been pushed back in the seat if the bag would have worked. The air bags on the side of the front seats did open. There were no passengers. Updated 9/23/15
2001 honda accord. Consumer writes in regards to replacement parts not available to complete recall notice.
2001 honda accord. Attorney representing consumer writes in regards to drivers airbag inflator module recall notice issues. *smd the consumer sustained serious injuries from the frontal driver's side air bag, when the inflator module ruptured causing metal fragments to protrude through the air bag cushion striking the consumer in his head as well as across his fingers. Recall # 14v351000, was referenced.
Recall results states a recall was issued june 19,2014. We have never received a recall on this and have lived in the same residence for over 25 years. At one time, my "side passenger airbag alert" light was staying on. Honda supposedly fixed the issue. But driver's side airbag was never corrected to my knowledge.
I have been trying to get the recalled airbag replacement for honda for months and they will not replace the recalled airbag. I have called several times and they always tell me that my name is on a list and it will take a month to get the replacement part. I've been calling since at least feb. 2015, I called to may 20, 15 and relieved the same answer. I've been called the torrance honda center 2280 crenshaw blvd, torrance, ca 90501 (855) 587-2662. I need to know how to get this recalled airbag replacement.
Honda case # [xxx] ** I have removed the airbag module from the steering wheel for the interim. Honda of america(hoa) is refusing to cooperate with me in regards to the safety recall notice for the driver side steering wheel airbag inflator -- the federal safety agency recall 14v‑351. Contacted hoa at 1‑888‑234‑2138 on march 19th, 2015. I asked if I could take the airbag module/assembly to the dealer and have the airbag inflator replaced while it is off the vehicle. I advised hoa I do not wish to take my vehicle to the dealer, only the airbag module itself. Hoa advised "no". I asked for further review, by "case review", of my request and to be contacted via letter because I do not wish to provide my telephone number. As of may 19th, 2015 I have not received any communication/letter from hoa. Called hoa again on may 19th, 2015 and was advised they will not send a letter. They wish to contact me by phone. As of may 19th, 2015, I advised hoa I will no longer be contacting them and asked the hoa representative to advise the case reviewer that I will simply not have the recall performed and will leave the airbag module off the steering wheel/vehicle. I have reviewed, to the best of my ability, local, state and federal law regarding safety recalls and can find no law that states I must abide by the manufacturers guidelines for replacing safety devices. It is my understanding that a manufacturer must replace the defective safety device regardless and should make every effort to assist the owner in performing safety recalls. Please contact me via letter -- I will not provide my telephone number, email, etc. As it is not required by local, state or federal law. The address I am providing is the same address hoa has on file for the VIN. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
