Takata recall while I was driving home (vehicle in motion) on paseo padre boulevard in fremont california, my airbags on the right side of the vehicle deployed unexpectedly and for no apparent reason. I was not involved in any accident that would trigger airbags to deploy. I believe the airbags deployed because they have some defective parts. I continue trying to resolve the issue with honda and they ignore me.
Driving to work on 8/5/17 at around 4 am and the passenger side roof and seat air bags went off for no reason. Turned the car around and took it home to where it has set every since. The road was smooth and I was approaching a set of railroad tracks on route 3.

The light of airbag s on from yesterday while driving
Takata recall I was driving down the road when I lost control of my car. This resulted in my air bag being deployed as I came into collision with a guard rail on a city street. Luckily, only the passenger side airbag deployed. This resulted in my windshield being cracked.
"takata recall". Passenger side airbag light comes on intermittently, with or without anyone sitting in the seat. Afraid to have any one sit in passenger seat for fear that the airbag will not properly deploy and inflate when necessary.
I had a car accident in a parking lot on september 8, 2016. I was turning and hit a pole on the front fender of the drivers side of my car. I was going approximately 15 miles an hour. The airbag deployed and broke both bones in my right arm. It fractures my radius & ulna. Minutes late the passenger side airbag went off and broke the windshield. I was taken by ambulance to the hospital, where I had surgery. They had to put two metal plates & screws in my arm. I was in the hospital for 3 days and out of work on medical until november 28, 2016 I still have pain in my arm and fingers. Arthritis has set in my fore finger . I really feel that these airbags were defective. I'd appreciate it if you would investigate my claim. Thank you, updated 03/15/17*lj

First, when I started typing in this field, the page reset and I had to re-enter the VIN. So, please fix your webpage, so that it does not clear unless a submit button is deliberately pressed. The airbag malfunction light on my honda accord comes on, at the start of some engine runs, before the vehicle is set in motion, and stays on for the duration of the run. At other times, when the light does not come on at the onset of a run, it comes on when the seatbelt is unbuckled, and remains on for the remainder of the run. Though I would rather that the airbag system be permanently disarmed, I am concerned that the light will come on during the annual safety inspection and cause my vehicle to fail the inspection.

My 2003 honda accord lx crashed on 10/01/2016 about 18 months after I had my airbag serviced at a local honda dealer 4/7/2015. When I got my car back from the dealer, the driver door had no power and could not be opened remotely or with the power lock control on the driver door. More importantly, no safety signals came on when the car started. I called the dealer and they told me I had to pay $80 to have it checked; I then called american honda customer service, who only documented the complaint and took no action to remedy mechanical mistake by honda dealer. I was driving on a downhill curve on a wet road after a rain. When I saw a slower car ahead of me, I gently applied the brake to maintain a constant following distance. The car drifted to the left toward oncoming traffic. But when I tried steer to get back to the right lane and tried to press on the brake, it locked up, then the car went into neutral and I had no brake and steering resistance was completely lax. My car went off road and crashed into the woods. The airbag did not deploy. I was confined in bed with pain one whole day. My transmission had locked up, then went into neutral, twice before on 1/14/2015 in the middle of traffic, and on 9/15/2016 in my driveway. We never received a letter from honda for the transmission recall; however, we did receive letters regarding the airbag recall, the ignition switch recall, and the wiper motor recall. A year ago, the recalls came up using my VIN#. The database now shows no recall for my vehicle at all. After my car crash, I had it towed to honda dealership on 10/4/2016 for repair estimate. I left my car and title with dealership; less than 48 hours later I called to get car back for crash investigation and lawsuit, the car had been destroyed by honda dealer closing all further inquiries. American honda took no responsibility when I contacted them.
There was a recall on my airbag inflator's and I went to the dealership they said that they took care of it and then a few weeks later I was in a car accident I was hit in the front of my car and the airbags did not deploy I feel like this is very unsafe honda is the brand that I trusted and they failed me
My son was driving on turnpike ramp. Wheel seemed to lock up and he lost control of the vehicle. Car was going about 15-20 MPH. He hit guard rail and both airbags deployed. The damage was not extensive enough (no hood damage, some bumper damage, no lights cracked). I had called and spoke with a service man named george who said they are overwhelmed and they do not have the passenger side airbag parts in my recall and he would call me. He did not and this accident occurred. Now I am at risk of them totaling the car due to airbags deploying that they should have resolved in the first place. Not a happy camper with no relief from coggin honda - who could have killed my son in this accident.
Traveling on the freeway approximately 35 MPH. 5 car pile up, me being the last car hit the person in front of me. My airbag didn't deploy however the passenger side did.
The air bags light came on two weeks ago and goes away and returns specially after driving the vehicle in a full day of driving the light comes up and will not go away. I took vehicle to the honda dealer where I purchased it and was advised that the computer for the airbags is dying down and needs to be replaced but honda will not fix problem. I was also advised that if vehicle is involved in a front end accident the air bags will not work. I advised them that this is a safety issue and honda should replace at no cost but the representative just said if you want it fixed you will need to pay $ 541.00 and turned around and requested for my car to be returned back to me. I am really disappointed at honda and its personnel because they just don't care about the public like they say in there tv commercials.
Takata recall - driver's side was completed at lia honda, albany ny on 12/16/15. Passenger side was not fixed - "unable to do recall. Passenger side door will not open. Customer is aware..." fixing the passenger side front door to open is not a viable option - too costly. Passenger side rear door does open and the front passenger side seat could be removed. This would provide access to the passenger side dash/airbag. What are my options for having the passenger side airbag recall completed? My call to american honda (909‑664‑9134) was not particularly helpful - if I fixed the door to provide access, the recall could be completed - but I did receive a case #[xxx]. The title to the car is in my wife's name, [xxx], but I, [xxx], am the primary driver at this time and so I am handling the recall.

Takata recall this is my college student daughter's car and we are very concerned. Her airbag light is on and we recently read there was an airbag recall on this model that can lead to serious injury or death!!!. When we called curry honda, sierra said her VIN number was not in the recall. I want clarification on this asap. Are all 2003 hondas in danger? Since her VIN couldn't be "located" on the recall list, we want honda to pay for a diagnosis since her car fall in this category. She has an automatic (not a stick shift) 2003 honda coupe
