Air bag warning light stayed on for sometime before I could get an appointment at a repair shop. Auto repair mechanic explained that the driver side air bags would not function due to a faulty driver side seat belt buckle. Buckle was replaced on 12/17/14 & air bags were enabled.

My vehicle's airbag light has been coming on and off since july 2014. Until recently (end of november 2014), I had no idea about the manufacturer's recall. In today's world, businesses are not even trying to be responsible towards their customers and try to charge for airbag light checking or replacement. To prove it, even during the major national recall for honda airbag, the honda dealer: columbus, oh: germain honda of dublin 6715 sawmill rd dublin, oh 43017 united states declines service. They initially denied service saying that there is no recall open for my vehicle by the VIN number, then she said that it was already taken care of sometimes in 2004. We have owned the car since 2005 and we never had it repaired for this problem. I want to prevent an accident and not look for trouble, but it is difficult to be proactive when the dealers want to charge you even when there is a well-known nationwide recall for the very problem you are reporting. Please help with making it easier for customers to have their cars repaired without having to fight for it or convince the dealers that it is their responsibility. Thank you!

On saturday, november 15, 2014, at around 8:20 am, I was driving northbound on 880. Traffic was very light and the road is very smooth in that area because it was repaved in the last year. My speed was 65 MPH. I was driving in the rightmost lane because I was close to my destination and because flow of traffic is somewhat higher than 65mph in the other lanes. Without warning and without impact from any other vehicles or from anything on the road, the passenger side airbag activated. Although my ears were ringing, I was able to take the next exit, hegenberger rd, which was about 1/2 mile from when the airbag exploded. There were no warning lights or other indications of problems before the airbag activated.
About a year ago I noticed the passenger side airbag warning light on the dashboard now I am afraid to let anyone sit in the front passenger seat in light of this new information about exploding airbags.please keep me updated on this recall. Thank you.
I took vehicle in for air bag recall with takata part -- honda fixed driver side but now says that the passenger side airbag for my vehicle will not be available until march 2015 -- how can they allow the seriousness of such a defect go on for so long while putting me and any passenger in my auto in potential danger including death. I live in miami fl which falls in the most high risk hot/humid areas of the country!

This accord is equipped with takata airbags. Honda had recalled vehicles but only in certain states. This recall should be nation-wide. What is the federal safety agency going to do about this? [xxx] . Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Today, I had passenger side ceiling and seat air bag inadvertent deployment while driving on highway. There was no passenger in the passenger seat. As the driver, I was the only person in the vehicle (however, approximately 30 minutes later, there would have been a toddler in the passenger side of the backseat) . I was startled and confused by the unexpected explosive noise ("boom") and only noticed the side air bag "curtain" a few seconds later and after that, the protruding passenger seat air bag.
I took my car to a local honda dealer for a recall to be repaired. After getting the car back, I still get a dashboard warning light indicating that the part may still be defective. The part in question is the passenger side power seat wire harness (seat SRS sensor). I was not aware of this recall, but the dealer was kind enough to inform me, but I just don't feel the issue has been corrected.

This vehicle was purchased used- how do I know it wasn't originally from a "known humid state"? And what about cars that might have been exposed to superstorm sandy? This sounds like general motors and toyota when they claimed "driver error". If humidity is a factor, it's a factor- is honda saying we don't get humidity in new york?
I was traveling about 30 MPH and a animal ran out in front of me. I swerved and sideswiped a tree and hit a tree on passenger side. The air bag came out on drivers side giving me 3rd degree burns on my hand. I did not suffer any other injuries. I cant believe how bad I the airbag had burned me.

Over the past couple of months the red airbag light would sometimes stay on while driving. Called local honda dealer who said my 2004 accord wasn't recalled for this issue based on my accord's VIN. I researched airbag issue & saw other hondas had been recalled. I have seen on nhsta site that many other 2004 accord owners have had an issue with airbag light staying on. This means the airbag will not work in an accident! It is a serious safety issue. I was concerned about my safety & needed my car inspected. My car failed inspection because of the airbag problem (code 61-10). I had seat removed & new seat buckle switch installed. This cost $225.61 to fix so my car would pass inspection. Honda recalled some cars for the airbag issue in 2007. Honda needs to look into this & fix this & reimburse those of us who have fixed it.
Airbag light stays on continuously.
I was driving my car and my transmission started slipping. I keep up with all of the scheduled maintenance for this car. I got the transmission rebuilt and now less then 3 months later the car is starting to jerk again and the drive light on the dash is starting to blink. I also have this error code that won't go away saying there is something wrong with the fuel tank. I got the gas knob changed and the error goes away but when you hook the computer up to it, the code still comes up. The air bag light also comes on and off when it wants to.

Airbag light started coming on intermittently. Now it's coming on and staying on every time I drive. It comes on with all the other lights during the start/self-test, then goes out, comes back on and stays on.
I was pulling into a parking space in a parking garage. When I was about 3/4 of the way into the parking space, I put my foot on the brake. Apparently my foot slipped or I had put it on the gas pedal instead of the brake. My car surged into the concrete wall about 5 feet in front of me as I pushed harder on the gas pedal because I thought I was pushing the brake. None of my 8 airbags went off and I do not believe that my seat belt tightened its tension at impact. I suffered a shattered patella, 3 broken toes, a bruised sternum and a black eye. If the airbags and seat belts had worked properly I believe my injuries would be less severe as they would have kept me from flying forward at impact. The impact was strong enough to crack the transmission case, break one engine mount, break the air conditioner, destroy the bumper and hood and cause repairable damage to the quarter panels. Your crash test reports and honda's safety information do not seem true to me due to my personal experience.
Driver side airbag light stayed on unexpected..(sometime on, sometime off).
