I received a notification that my vehicle was among those included in a recall for the passenger side air bag. As instructed, I called a local honda dealership to set up a time to have the part replaced. That was on february 11, 2015. I was told the part had to be ordered and that I would be contacted when I could bring my car in for the repair. It has been more than 60 days and I have not received any further information. I don't have time to chase honda to replace a faulty part on my vehicle and I certainly don't feel comfortable having anyone sit in the passenger side of my car. It has become an inconvenience.

Submission from constituent re 2003 honda accord safety recalls. *smd the consumer stated he was unable to get in contact with the dealer, in order to correct the air bag issue.
I have a recall on both driver and passenger air bag. I have called the honda dealership in grand island nebraska 7 times and tried scheduling online 2 times to have the recall fixed it has been almost 90 days now, and I have yet to have them call back with a appointment. I drive this car 45 miles on the highway daily and do not feel safe. The letter I was sent in january 2015 said to give the dealership 60 days to remedy the problem. I'm very concerned about the complete disregard for the safety of not only myself but other drivers and passengers in these vehicles.

No accident \ I am reporting inaccurate information on this website and corresponding honda website regarding airbag recall on this vehicle. There are no options 2 or 4 from the honda website setup for recall. There is no way to register this vehicle for airbag replacement (and we recently purchased it used so it may not be properly registered at honda corporate - though we have had it serviced at our local honda dealer). This process of registering for airbag replacement should be available 24/7. No excuses. Honda is not being proactive.
I received a letter from honda stating that the passenger and driver airbag was defective and could deploy abnormally causing metal fragments to pass through the airbag cushion material causing serious injury or fatality to vehicle occupants. I called the honda dealer to make an appointment to have it repaired at no cost as indicated in their letter. However they cannot have it repaired because they do not have the parts. It has been two weeks since I first called them and every time I follow up their answer is that parts have been ordered and they have no indication when it will arrive. Driving this vehicle puts my family and others on the road in great danger. Is there a way honda can have this repaired sooner? Or are they trying to avoid incurring the cost?

Had a major accident that totaled the car passenger air bag developed but driver side did not.
When I was sitting perfectly still parked in a parking lot, my driver side airbag and my passenger-side side airbag inflated. Nothing had hit me, and I hadn't hit anything. I have contacted honda, and they will not return my calls, and are not being cooperative about fixing my car. There are multiple recalls for this exact thing happening.
2003 honda accord air bag safety recall. *mw the consumer believed his vehicle was excluded from the recall, because of where the vehicle was purchased. Even though he no longer lives there.
I purchased my 2003 accord brand new from a honda dealership. In 2004 there was a recall to fix a defect with second gear in the transmission. My car was fixed under the recall (or so I thought). I have been having continuous problems with second gear slipping. In other words when the car is in second gear it feels like its in neutral because you step on the gas and the car does not move. You have to wait for the car to shift again. You never know when or where it will happen. On 11/17/14 I was trying to get on the highway. I made a left turn to enter the highway when the second gear slipped. My car was stuck under a traffic light when the traffic light changed from green to red. Oncoming traffic was approaching my vehicle at 65-70mph. I was almost broad sided. Honda knows about this defect and will not replace the transmission in my car. There have been several class action lawsuits against honda for this problem. I believe this is a serious safety issue not just for me because I own the car, but for anyone who is operating a vehicle on the roadways. Honda should be held accountable for this defect. I also have a takata airbag which is not subject to the recall. So I have 2 problems, the defect with the transmission puts me at a higher risk for getting into and accident. If I am in an accident and the airbag goes off, I could be injured and/or killed by the airbag. How can honda get away with this?

I submitted a complaint over the phone already #[xxx] with the federal safety agency rep "[xxx]." [xxx] refused to specifically detail what I explained to him, which was very disconcerting and a huge waste of time, so I am submitting a separate complaint in writing. I am concerned that the takata airbag recall notice is not being properly communicated to the public. The media reporting based on the federal safety agency's recall notices strongly suggest that the recall only affected vehicles in 13 southern states with high heat and humidity. I bought the vehicle in colorado and currently reside and drive in california. Neither of those states is on the list of 13. I contacted honda, because the federal safety agency's notice was not clear, and the vehicle is subject to the recall. I am concerned that the federal safety agency recall information has resulted in a cycle of news reporting that misleads the public into believing that their vehicle is fine and not subject to the recall unless their vehicle is in one of the 13 states. This needs to be clarified to a much greater degree. Thank you. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Honda wrote you a letter, which I have a copy of from your website, on june 14, 2014 confirming discussion with you about looking into problems with the 2003 honda accord driver's airbag. They have only recalled the passenger side airbag. I do not feel safe in driving my honda with the current driver airbag. What is the status of the recall for the driver's airbag for the 2003 honda accord?
