According to what I read in the news, Honda Accords 2001-2003 should be recalled for airbag repair. I think Honda may have neglected to recall my car when it should have. I have attempted to ask Honda about this and they are non-responsive.

My son is an approved seatbelt claimant in the Takata Bankruptcy class action suit. (#4842) He became a paraplegic when his 2003 Honda Accord rolled once after encountering a road surface change from asphalt to gravel. His seatbelt pre-tensor failed as did his airbags. His T-13 L-1 spinal cord injury is conducive to seat belt failure. . A bone spur from his vertebre broke off and went into his spinal cord. By the time our head cleared from the whole ordeal, we were one month out of the statue of limitations. (which is 2 years in the state of Colorado) Shortly thereafter we received a card in the mail informing us of the Takata class action suit. We were glad we still had an avenue for an injury claim. Fast forward 4+ years and we have recently found out that the 33 approved Takata seatbelt claimants have $1,140,000 to share amongst themselves. Some claimants lost loved ones from the faulty seatbelt sensors and seatbelt malfunctions. Based on this current fund amount, Lee will likely only receive between 20,000 to 40,000 for his injury. Very little for the inability to walk, go to the bathroom, loss of sexual function and having to deal with consistent nerve pain. I recently became aware of the ZF-TRW Class action complaint and realize the parameters of the nonfunctioning airbag and seatbelt pre-tensor fit the parameters of my sons accident. The Honda Accord 2014-2015 vehicles are listed as having problematic ZF-TRW parts. My sons 2003 Honda Accords ACU was replaced in January/February of 2015. I suspect that the part was replaced with the same ACU used in the new 2014-2015 Honda Accords. Takata seat belt class action suit settlement does not preclude anyone from collecting compensation for injury from another source. My son should have walked away from this accident.

Srs warning light is on continuously. Independ shop says error code is for driver front seat belt latch sensor. Honda dealers says sensor is not part of lifetime warranty for seat belts, even though sensor is fully integrate with seat belt latch, and part of the vital safety system. Independent shop is reluctant to repair for liability and honda dealer want huge payment for simple repair. It is unfair and unethical for dealer and manufacturer to not honor there printed warranty.

While parking car at <2 MPH driver front wheel hit curb. Drivers side seat ripped open but airbag did not deploy. Took vehicle to dealer and they claim car was in an accident and that deployment was normal, and not covered under any warranty. Suggested I contact american honda and lodge a complaint, which I did and they claim this was not an airbag malfunction. If the seat ripped open but the airbag never deployed, how is this not a malfunction? (it is still neatly folded within the seat). Why did it go off when hitting a curb while parking at extremely low speed? This seems like an "airbag malfunction" . I am concerned that this should be looked into and that it should be repaired by honda not at my cost.

Takata recall: my son was driving on the interstate at over 60 MPH when the side airbag (driver side) spontaneously deployed. It slammed into his left arm with extreme force,knocking him toward the passenger door making him swerve in front of an 18 wheeler. The passenger side airbag then deployed and as he was trying to pull off the interstate the passenger front air bag deployed. He was able to stop in the area between the on ramp and the interstate, as he exited the vehicle the driver front airbag deployed. May 2016 the airbags and ignition recall repairs were done. After incident dealership ran diagnostics and said all he could see was that there was a problem with the SRS unit. He asked us if we had made any electrical modifications (which we haven't) I asked him if that part had been checked or replaced during the recall and he said that wasn't part of the recall. He said we should call honda customer service. Upon further investigation I learned there have been recalls on the replacements because of moisture being introduced during manufacturing.also there have been problems with corrosion and malfunction of the SRS units due to extreme temperatures and high humidity. At the time of the incident the heat index was 110 and the humidity was extremely high. Arkansas is located in the second of three priority regions for the SRS recall.also while researching spontaneous airbag deployment causes, I learned that the SRS unit moisture problem and the degradation of accelerant from moisture can not only cause the airbags to not deploy on impact, but also cause them to deploy with no impact. This information should be included in the recall information and honda should expand the SRS recall. We are lucky lives were not lost in this incident, but that may not be the case the next time this happens.

Takata recall my 2003 honda accord sedan is on the list of cars with takata airbags to be recalled but honda is not recalling my car. I feel that it should be recalled but honda is refusing to replace my airbags. How can honda refuse to replace my airbags if it is on the list of cars being recalled for airbags. When they ask for my VIN they claim that my car is not being recalled. I believe that honda is unlawfully shorting the recall list. Please look into this matter.

On 5/11/2019 I was in a serious auto accident to where my airbags did not deploy at all. My car was completely totaled and I'm lucky to be alive today. I'm concerned way the air bags did not deploy when there was impact on every side and trigger points of my car. I want to know did I even have airbags because I everyone that has inspected the car said they should have deployed with all the impact to the car. I would greatly appreciate if you can look into this due to my life could have been taken that night and my cars air bags never deployed and now I have to live with the pain and damages it has done to me. I was driving and got into the middle lane and then I was hit from behind from a ford f-150 from what I was told due to I lost concussion while my car spun out of control and then I woke up slammed up against trees, in a deep ditch. Since I don't remember all of what happen this is the florida highway patrol case number ( 88109030 ), so you can look more into the case. I will attach a few pictures of the vehicle that was taken when I had to get my stuff out of it.

The airbag light turned on when I was driving the highway, no reason as to why it would turn on because I didn't get into a wreck or crash at all. I've had this car for about a year, bought it from a previous owner they had said it was in perfect condition. So irritated because I use this car every single day to drive to work and from and I also take my daughter to her doctors appointments in this vehicle. Ii don't want the airbags going off while I'm driving and possibly crash because I will sue. The engine light is always on since like a week into buying the car and I took it to a mechanic but it still turns on.

Takata recall (possibly?). I was in a car accident on june 21, 2018, in my 2003 honda accord coupe driver side airbag did not deploy. I was driving on a city street, the road was wet, and I was going around a curve in the road (going about 40 MPH). My car lost traction and fish tailed, then ended up slamming into a telephone pole with the passenger side being impacted first. The passenger side door airbag went off, but my driver side airbag did not deploy, and because I was not wearing my seatbelt my face smacked into the steering wheell. I had to get stitches on my chin, lip, and nose. I also had to get my front left tooth extracted, and suffered a deviated septum and road rash from the impact.
