Car was parked in a large parking lot..(exp. Mall parking area) started to pull through the parking spot to exit. Noticed pedestrians to my right, sharply turned steering wheel to the left, causing the car's left front bumper to hit the base of a light pole. Mph less than 5. Distance of travel 2 feet. Airbag deployed, breaking both the ulna and radial bones in my right forearm, bruising of my chin. Surgical intervention required to fix fractures. Placement of 3 plates with screws. Car has a small indention on the left bumper. This air bag should not have deployed.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 honda accord. The contact stated that the air bag warning lamp was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not included in the federal safety agency campaign number: 07v001000 (air bags). The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 73,000.
The SRS light stays illuminated while the vehicle is on. Dealership tested the system and found 2 codes. First code read the driver side seat buckle switch fault. Second code read the driver side seat position sensor fault. Both codes are causing the SRS light to stay on. The driver side seat buckle switch is covered under warranty (at 143,000 miles). The driver side seat position sensor is not covered under warranty. There was a recall issued for the seat postion sensor but my VIN does not fall within the listed vins called out on the document. Why is it that a car with two different defective parts, that are causing the same issue, not both be covered by warranty on my car but is covered for other cars that are the same model and year? Now I have a new driver side seat buckle switch with a SRS light that is still on.
Accelerator jammed in cement garage causing car to hit the wall of the garage at very high speed and severely damaging the front of the car (essentially totaling the car).
My car dashboard showing up the airbag sign on and off. I make investigation thru motor trend that this car has a problem about seat belt/buckle front driver seat. I call up american honda at torrance ca. They told me my vehicle VIN # is not affected by this problem. This is surprise for me. The car is made by honda. All of this kind of model should be affected by this airbag problem. As per motor trend the recall date was jan. 03, 2007. And most affected is 2005 honda accord. Please help me this is not safety anymore.
Airbag light would come on after car warms up intermittantly, and stays on permanently on colder days it takes longer to turn on but eventually it will.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 honda accord. The contact stated that while driving approximately 52 MPH, the front and rear air bags inadvertently deployed with no impact to the vehicle. In addition, the passenger's side air bag deployed. The interior roof covering also became detached at the time of the failure. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for diagnosis but was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 226,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 honda accord. The contact stated the vehicle abnormally accelerated and crashed into the contact's home. The air bags failed to deploy. The contact sustained injuries to the neck, back, arm and leg. A police report was filed. The vehicle was destroyed and towed to an auto body shop. The manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 134,000.
I took my honda in for a power steering recall that was issued and asked the honda dealership to look into the reason why the airbag warning light was on. They called me back and said there were two fault codes one being the driver seatbelt buckle and the other being the drivers seat position sensor. I know there is already a recall on the driver seat position sensor but they said that my vehicle's VIN was not affected by the recall. Therefore, in order to fix this sensor I would have to pay to repair the part. I called honda america and they also told me it was my responsibility to repair the part since my vehicle did not have a VIN affected by the driver seat position sensor recall. I find this odd that my vehicle is of a make model and year with a known defective part but yet it is not involved in the recall. I feel that this should be investigated further to see if there are more models that are affected by the drivers seat position sensor for the air bag.
Air bag faulty light comes on and off randomly. Although there is a massive 2005 accord airbag module recall based on the federal safety agency investigation 07v001000. The 2005 accord hybrid is not on the recall list. There seems to have quite a few 2005 hybrid owners had already file the similar complaint. (under the problem with the seat section) airbag malfunction is a very serious problem, however, the problem behavior is random and majority of the customer may sees it as "glitch" since it may go away by turning the key on and off again.
Honda accord 2005 seems like has faulty mechanical on the brake. I was driving down the downward the hill and my brake did not stop. I was suspicious now that my car has faulty mechanical brake because about less than 2 years ago where my car has problem did not brake properly on the freeway. Then, I replaced my brake less than 2 years ago at honda dealer. The last time my car maintenance was april 2013 and they stated the brakes are still good.
Our honda accord was crossing a 4-lane street from a stop sign. A car coming from the right struck the passenger side of our honda, causing the side air bags to deploy. However, the side air bags did not inflate, causing the passenger to receive bruises and abrasions. Note: although this honda accord was a 2005, it had low mileage (30,000) and was in excellent shape. The insurance co. Totaled the car.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 honda accord hybrid. The contact stated that the air bag warning light illuminated intermittently. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer for a diagnostic. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and stated the vehicle was not included under the federal safety agency campaign number: 07v001000 (air bags). The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure and current mileage was 126,000.
Airbags failed to deploy upon impact of collision.
I've noticed a faultiness with the airbag light indicator/sensor. After the engine is started, the light stays on and continues to stay on until I restart the engine, at which time the light may or may not turn off. This happens whether there is a passenger present in the passenger's seat or not. The light faultiness happens at random. Though many models of honda accords have been covered under a recall for the same issue, honda is telling me my specific vehicle is not covered. This is a dangerous issue that can affect the airbag deployment, causing full-force deployment regardless of seat position.
I was driving home from work on a monday night, I had my phone in the front seat with me and I had heard it go off a few moments earlier. I looked over quickly at the phone to see who it was,I quickly looked back at the road, I was not able to stop quick enough and I hit the young lady in from of me. I was going about 40 MPH when I hit her and there is substantial damage to my car. What really puzzled me was that my airbag did not deploy, even with an impact as big as this one. I have sustained a few injuries because of the lack of air bag.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 honda accord. The contact stated that while driving various speeds, the air bag warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnosis and the contact was informed that the opds sensor would need to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified but they offered no assistance to the contact. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 82,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 honda accord. The contact stated that while parked, she noticed that there were fractures on the steering wheel. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis. The technician stated that the air bag and the clock spring would have to be replaced. The contact was concerned that the air bag would not deploy in the event of a crash. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 40,000.
While waiting at a traffic light, I adjusted my driver side power seat and saw the air bag sensor light turn on at the same moment. I was not involved in any accident of any kind. I took it to the honda dealer and was told that the sensor failed and it would cost 660.00 to replace. Apparently this sensor controls all the front airbags without which they will not deploy. I would like to add this safety complaint to the data base in case others have had the same problem.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 honda accord. The contact was stopped in traffic when another vehicle crashed into the rear of the vehicle. The contact's vehicle was abruptly pushed forward, causing him to crash into the rear of a preceding vehicle. None of the air bags deployed. There were no injuries. The vehicle was destroyed. A police report was filed of the incident (#13-002818). The vehicle was towed to a dealer. The manufacturer was notified of the incident but offered no assistance. The failure mileage was 112,000.
Supplemental restraint system indicator light remains (intermittently) illuminated beyond the normal time after starting vehicle. The problem appears to be the same as described in other "complaints" published in the federal safety agency recall campaign id number 07v001000. According to local honda dealership, this vehicle is not part of the recall group and does not qualify for cost free remediation by honda.
I was driving like any other day on the freeway and my passenger airbag deployed for no apparent reason- there was no accident at all. Luckily there was no one in the passenger seat. After contacting honda they said they would send a representative to the local dealership to check to take care of the repair but the honda dealership in el cerrito ca did not want to pay for the repair and wanted to charge full amount to fix it saying the car is out of warranty. I needed my car soon for my transportation so I went to my trusted mechanic to repair the airbag and he informed me it was not safe to drive becuase the driver's airbag could deploy at anytime which could result in a crash or injury or fatality. I would appreciate a full refund from honda for cost of the repair as it came out to be $3,374.68. This cost is very high and I am not responsible for this safety malfunction. This is a major safety issue and I am very upset that honda does not want to fix what could have possibly caused a person harm. Thank you *tr updated 09/05/12*lj updated 09/10/2012
Was driving along on highway when boom!!! The passenger side airbags just deployed on their own. It caused me to swerve and almost crash at 80 MPH. My passenger luckily sustained minor injuries. There was no reason or warning for these airbags to deploy!
Air bag warning light coming on and off intermittently. But heard previous models have recall on this issue but not for 2005 models.
Power train:automatic transmission:control module fuel system, gasoline:delivery:fuel pump air bags:frontal:sensor.
Air bag warning light, was recalled previously for the 2005 honda accord,but not for the id number for my vehicle,warning light comes on and off often, was recalled for problem with harness wiring short, was told my vehicle, did not qualify for repair. Under previous recall.
My air bag light was lit,I took it to honda they re-set something, 5 minutes later as I was leaving it lit up again. Took it back they said they had to do diagnostics, ordered a wiring harness,installed that. I drove to florida and back 1300 miles round trip and the light is back on meaning my bags will not deploy. I have had a very difficult time getting this addressed. Honda (apple tree in fletcher , nc) had my car from tue-sat and I had to rent a car due to their negligence. Now I have to drive back over there 1 1/2 hour drive one way and see what is going on. I noticed there have been similar issues, but that my VIN was not covered. Please advise. I am still driving an unsafe car and have spent countless hours going back and forth and paying for a rental car.
