2005 Honda Accord airbags complaints

2005 honda accord. Consumer writes in regards to information for airbag replacements.
Driving south on I 81 at approximately mm 167.3. Heard a very loud noise, thought I might have had a blow out. There was a burning smell so I thought my car was on fire and I pulled off on the left hand side of the interstate. No flat, nothing burning, no damage to car. Got back in my car and realized passenger side airbags from front to back had deployed, that is what I was smelling but at the time I did not realize my airbags had deployed. I was alone but there is a child car seat in my backseat and if one of my grandchildren had been in the car seat or a passenger in the front seat they could have been badly injured. My car is currently at the honda dealership and they have provided me a loaner vehicle at no cost to me. They did call this morning to verify that I had not ran over anything or hit anything. There is not damage to my vehicle. The honda dealership told me they would give me a call once they figured this all out. I am now waiting to see what the outcome will be.
Srs light stays on all the time.
Honda replaced the takata drivers side airbag on my 2005 honda accord in january 2015 under the takata airbag recall. However, honda will not replace the takata passenger side airbag in my car. I do not live in a high humidity state. I am very concerned about this decision by honda not to replace the passenger side airbag as there are news reports of injury to a passenger from a takata passenger side air bag in 2013. The federal safety agency needs to order honda to replace the takata passenger side air bag on affected honda cars before someone else is injured.

I have a honda accord 2005 and have noticed the airbag light continues to light up showing there is some defect. I could never find a recall on this issue and the light have come on for over a year now. I am concerned because we are military and now with the airbag recall issue I have found out talking with the corporate honda dealer they are only getting the vehicle location from local dmv offices. The problem is military register their cars in their home state, but live in other states. So my car is in ca and has also been in fl and va. Because of this oversight, it appears I have not been notified of the recall. I called honda to confirm if the faulty part is in my vehicle, and honda refuses to tell me. I have been told "I am not part of the recall because I am not on the list". But if I have the part, and since my car has been in a recall state, I should be included. It is a total lack of coordination and record keeping. They refuse to listen and refuse to assist. I have warned them I am pregnant with twins and need to get this issue resolved for safety purposes, but they refuse to listen. This amounts to negligence and I am now worried honda does not care one bit for my safety or the safety of my unborn twins.

I viewed the federal safety agency id number: 10653526 involving the red airbag indicator light that comes on and won't go off. Mine has been doing this intermittently for at least a year that I can recall. It is now on almost all the time. When calling a local dealer about it, they said that they would have to charge me to look at the problem and would be responsible for any work that would need to be done to fix it.

Checking to see if air bags are recalled.
After returning my 2005 honda accord at the request of sp honda, tulsa,ok., american honda rep e.p. Contradicted what mechanic previously had said. They refused to repair passenger side airbags deployed while driving down highway at 65 MPH. The continual lies need to stop. Honda needs to be responsible for their recalls & faulty equipment. To make matters worse, the gm stated " why should we help repair your car when you didn't purchase it from us?" who does business like this? American honda is being investigated and sp of tulsa should be as well!
I was driving home, I fell asleep at the wheel approaching a stop light. I hit the corner of the vehicle in front of me and my front left and kinda in the middle (hood area) was smashed in almost to my windshield. None of my airbags deployed & I hit my face on the steeling wheel causing my teeth to go through my bottom lip & broke my nose. Insurance claimed it as a total loss.

Air bag recall.
My 16 year old son was driving to school on the highway. The vehicle speed was approximately 65. For no reason at all, the passenger side airbags exploded causing a quick reaction under extreme fear. Honda has been notified but the local dealer "southpoint honda" has been rude & accusatory that honda is not at fault. The honda recall for airbags is expanding, yet no help. His car is unsafe to drive and is parked. For a single father this is causing great hardship, not to mention the injury that might of occurred to my only child! The excuses are not acceptable!!!!
Nothing happened. During the past few months, the airbag (red light) indicator light comes on the dashboard warning system and will not go off. This is intermittent, but certainly a cause for concern based on the recent recalls. Who will fix this for me?
I have seen the recalls for takata air bags due to injuries and deaths once deployed of which my model car is on the list of recalled vehicles. However, I do not live in one of the states that is on the recall list, so my VIN is not on the recall list. Upon further investigation on the issue, I found an article on this website, with a quote, "responding to these recalls, whether old or new, is essential to personal safety and it will help aid our ongoing investigation into takata airbags and what appears to be a problem related to extended exposure to consistently high humidity and temperatures. However, we're leaving no stone unturned in our aggressive pursuit to track down the full geographic scope of this issue," said the federal safety agency deputy administrator [xxx] ." since it basically states that humidity and temperature are the causes of the failures, I did an online research for the average humidity levels within my state only to find them in line with the states that are on the recall list. I further researched the avg humidity levels and temps of all 50 states to find that the humidity levels of the states on the recall list are lower than about 26 other states. To validate my findings, I looked up the same information on several unrelated websites. One interesting note, the avg. Humidity in ca (not my state) is higher than these states and avg. Temp. Is only 3 different than sc. Based off of my initial findings, I feel that whomever is determining which vehicles should be recalled should be more clear on how they determine which vehicles are selected for recall. I am now very nervous about driving my car and will consider replacement in the near future. Since this problem is linked to deaths, I want clarity on this information asap.

I think the point of filed complaints should not only be reflective but proactive. That way, hopefully, both the feds and the manufacturers can get ahead of issues before they come tragic and/or costlier. That being said, I currently drive a 2005 honda accord which is on the recall list regarding the takata air bag flaw. There is no recall though, simply because my car was not registered in one of the 'humid states' this is ridiculous. I suspect it is a calculated ploy to allow takata to triage the most pressing recalls first and then open the recall. This is understandable, but if this is the case, it should be communicated to the public instead of making us feel a false sense of security with a potentially defective product. When will all 2005 honda accords receive the blessing to be recalled??? [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
My complaint is based on the risk of death or serious injury posed by the potentially faulty airbags in all 2005 honda accords. The federal safety agency is permitting honda to use my nys residency as reason to exclude my car from the recall list. The assertion that certain cars may be more at risk for failure based on geographic regions may or may not be a rational basis for prioritizing a service list. It should not, however, be the criteria for determining which cars are included in the recall. By approving this partial recall list, the federal safety agency is protecting honda and takata. As long as my car is excluded, honda is not legally responsible. Honda was not required to notify me of the potential danger, and I was unaware before now of the risk. Honda also avoids paying the cost of any action taken to minimize the risk, such as having the airbags disabled. The federal safety agency's actions are serving the interests of honda rather that the america public.

Air bag red icon kept coming on on dash and have been trying to get this fixed for over a year. Don't understand why honda does not consider long island, ny, a humid territory. Honda needs to visit long island to see how humid it is. This car must be used for a road test next week and I must now pay out of pocket to get the icon off permanently and the problem fixed, as well as have the air bags replaced to ensure they are good. I would like to get reimbursed. Thank you.
My daughter rear ended another car at very low speed causing minimal damage to the front bumper and a slight dent in the hood. The impact caused the airbag to deploy, or more accurately to "detonate" sending hot metal and plastic shrapnel into the cabin. As a result of this minor accident my daughter sustained severe burns, bruises and abrasions on her arms and legs. Honda admits that the airbag was not designed with this in mind but refuses to take any responsibility other than to present me with a bill for $3700.00. There is no denying that my daughter was at fault in the accident but her injuries and the excessive damage (the entire steering column was blown apart) were only due to honda's faulty airbag and safety design for which they should be held accountable. ....

On the dash board, a red light of airbag with a passenger sign comes up and stays on while driving. Sometimes, it may come right after the engine start and stay. Sometimes, the light would not come. When the problem started in 2012,the red light appearance was infrequent. Now, it is almost constant. Only occasionally, it may disappear.
