Takada inflators. My 2002 honda accord has had 2 recalls on the driver side inflator or airbag. The SRS light is on all of the time. I explained that the light used to come on and go off when it was very humid or had rained. After several months of that, the light came on and never went off. I asked the dealer if they would contact honda and ask if they could replace both airbags or inflators on the driver and passenger side. They said they wouldn't fix it since it hadn't been a part of the recall. They replaced the driver side inflator/bag and sent me on my way with the SRS light still on. Recently I had another recall for the driver side inflator. Once again I requested that they contact honda to get authorization to fix the passenger side since the SRS light is still on. Once again I was told they wouldn't do so as it isn't part of the recall. Given the history of the injuries and deaths related to the SRS/inflators, why wouldn't they investigate to see what the problem was? I can't afford to do so myself. Then the dealership told me he'd note in the history that I "refused to fix it". I went ahead and scheduled a time to take it in for the recall for the driver side inflator. After I got off the phone, it really made me mad the way the dealer implied that this was my problem and note the history. So, I called the honda recall number back and asked them to note on the history of my car that I informed honda and the dealership that there was an issue with the SRS light and they chose to not even look into the problem. I'm writing this to put honda on notice that I have notified them of the SRS problem and requested that they fix it under the recall and was told "no" twice! A quick search on the internet makes it obvious that this is a known problem that has been brought to honda's attention and they chose to ignore it.

May have to do with takata recall. As long as I've had the car (I bought it new) the airbag light has gone on and off intermittently. I've had all recall work done. The light persists in coming on intermittently. Every time my car is at the dealership for service I ask them to check this matter to see why that's happening, and every time they tell me it's not a problem and the airbags and the light are functioning as they're supposed to. I can't believe that's true. Something must be wrong for that to happen. I notice that they never make mention of having checked this out on the service order. This happens at any time, moving, stationary, any type of street or highway, turning, etc. It can happen at any time and under any conditions. It has always been to the same dealership for service. I'm really becoming concerned about the safety factor and if I would have a failure of the airbags to deploy when needed. About a year ago I was rear-ended--hard--and the airbags didn't deploy. I don't know if they should in a rear-end collision, but they didn't. I couldn't give a date as per your format because this has occurred from 2002 until the present, 2015, so the date I entered below is today's date. I also could not give a mileage because this has occurred from 0 miles to the 47,000 miles the car now has on it.
Takata recall, in 2010 we were in an accident, I was on the passenger side. We were hit head on. The dash came off and what looked like a small rocket came out and hit me in the chest breaking my sternum bone in half, then the air bag opened. Recently I saw on television the canister for the airbag and it was the same size. I believe what hit me, was first, the canister before the airbag opened. Police were called and I was transported to the hospital. The vehicle was moving on a highway. We are from ohio and were visiting my son, using his car on dec. 24th, 2010. I was taken to yavapai medical center in prescott valley arizona. There are hospital records, police and insurance records. Car was totaled.

I took my vehicle in for an airbag recall recently and as I was driving back home and stopped at a traffic light the red light SRS appeared. It stayed on for a few seconds and went out as I was driving. It did this a couple of times and finally it just stayed on. Since I've had this vehicle I've never had this happen. I called the dealership when I got home and they told me they didn't do anything other than replace the airbag and that it was the seatbelt restraint system. Light is still on now. The only seatbelt that is used is mine as I am the only driver of my vehicle. I don't know what caused the light. Please let me know the outcome so I will know how to proceed.

Was going home after a interview and got t-boned. Both airbags deployed and the driver side airbag with excessive force. Had to go to the emergency room because my arm had a huge knot on it and looked broke. Doctor said it wasn't broke but was bruised to the bone. Had to take theraphy for several months.
I was traveling on a three lane road on the morning of 7-18-15. A vehicle in front of me in the middle lane suddenly slowed down. To avoid hitting that vehicle I swerved to the right lane and into the bike lane. I went up the curb with the passenger side of the vehicle and continued on, while braking, and hit a light pole just behind the curb. I had 'help' going up the curb as a farmer (who farms the parcel adjacent to the accident site) had built an illegal 40 ft 'ramp' up the concrete curb with asphalt to allow access for his farm equipment. The driver's side of the vehicle stayed on the road traveling along the curb (in the gutter). The driver's airbag did not deploy. Estimated speed was 50mph per the county sheriff. The vehicle has been inspected by our insurance company and is a total loss. Had to go to the hospital for ct scan of the head as I hit the windshield. Suffered from temporary amnesia and slurred speech. We went to the town officials and reported the 'ramp' and it was removed almost immediately. We need honda to inspect the vehicle (which was towed to our home) but after a week of leaving voice mails for the case manager we are still waiting a return call. The insurance company want to take the vehicle but we want it inspected to understand why the airbag did not deploy. Note: we received an airbag safety recall notice on 7-27-15 (after the accident) but I think this notice is for a different issue with the airbags (not a deployment issue).

My takata air bag has been replaced twice by honda recalls. Unfortunately, the replacement airbag is another takata airbag. Does that make sense? My question is: why is honda replacing defective takata airbags with takata airbags? Since takata is continuing to manufacture defective airbags. I have no confidence in the airbag in my honda. Shouldn't honda use another airbag manufactured by another company to replace the takata airbag.
I did not have an accident. I am reporting honda because they lied to me and said my car was not on the recall list. About 2 months after the airbag recall became public I called them to ask if my car was on the recall. I was instantly told it was not. I just today went to this site online and looked it up and find it is. I believe honda was involved in a deliberate cover-up.

Can not get honda to replace my air bag which I got a federal recall notice for. Made an apt with hoehen honda in carlsbad ca . 4 weeks ago. Was told parts would take about 1 to 1 1/2 weeks to arrive. They never called me to bring in my car. Called nat'l headquarters in torrance ca. They promised me a free rental until the car was repaired. Gave me a complaint number.. Called again to speak to rep. Phone calls not returned. Honda acknowledges that these air bags could cause death if deployed.they are derrelect in not performing service in a timely manner and should be held accountable.
The air bags on my 2002 honda accord were recalled 6 months ago because they apparently could explode and kill passengers with shrapnel if they go off in an accident. I have been waiting months for honda to replace with air bags with no resolution in sight. Culver city honda in los angeles, ca keeps telling me they aren't able to get the new parts shipped in because of the port strike in los angeles. There are other ways to mail things, and I can't believe they aren't trying harder to get the part for their customers when they've already had 6 months. 5 people have already died from this defect and they have no urgency to fix this at all. I don't want my wife driving the car with such a dangerous faulty part, but it's the only car we own. Who makes sure these companies actually follows through on the recall replacement? We need some help please.
Hi on 3/3/2015 I took my honda in to breakaway honda to do a recall on the airbags also had a few other things repaired. Mostly concerned about the airbags. Had to return 5 days later for a part .I asked the service dept representative why my SRS light was still on, he said something was still wrong with my airbags and if I had a wreck I still would not have airbag. But I could pay 89.95 to have it hooked up to a machine and if it was the seat belt I would not have to pay but if it was something else I would. Didn't make sense to me, should I pay again to have airbags repaired or is that something honda should take care of. Something else is they never gave me a call on the service they had done.
