Right side passenger side curtain air bags deployed automatically when front left tire failed. I have read of later model years having issues with unintended side curtain deployment. I have even read of complaints about erratic deployment in 2006 models in the federal safety agency files. There was no collision, only a chuck hole which prompted the tire failure. I was driving on a highway near athens, ohio. Hit an unavoidable pothole, the tire blew out immediately, the right side air curtains deployed.

In the last recall, I went to the dealership in greer sc as instructed.

I have been in and replaced my airbag sensors 3 times with the recall. After the 2nd or 3rd time I was in for the recall the lining of the roof of my car has completely fallen in and makes it impossible for me to see out the rear view mirror. I have included a picture of the roof of my car as it looks now. I should have video of the transition of events but I think my external hard drive has crashed completely. I have been in to honda of concord in north carolina where they have told me there was nothing they could do as far as repairing it for free and I would have to pay. Why has no one looked at a computer glitch as the culprit for the airbag sensors automatically releasing air? Something has to trigger the sensor to start slowly releasing air, as I was told at honda of south hill, virginia where I originally had my sensors replaced for the recall.

Airbag light on continuous so airbag is not functioning properly

Took my vehicle in for air bag recall, a few months later, the SRS light came on. Took vehicle back to same dealer that had replaced air bag and now I'm told that the SRS unit has gone bad and no safety features (air bags, seat belts) will work if I am in a crash. I can pay over $730 to fix this unit. Additionally, I am asked when my battery had died- which it hasn't died. However, the only time in the last few years when my battery was touched was when they disconnected it to replace the drivers recalled air bag. Then I'm told that this major safety component is not covered under any warranty from honda and was in no way connected or effected by the air bag replacement they did a few months prior. I find this incredibly suspect and have noticed others posting the same complaint about replaced airbags and SRS unit replacements. So, even after this recall, I have a car that isn't safe and I feel that this new issue is a result of the earlier work with the airbag replacement. Please, please, please look into this relationship to see if recall replacement units or procedures are causing this SRS unit to malfunction. We're having to pay almost $1000 to fix this and I don't feel that we'd be in this predicament without some fault of honda or the technicians at my local dealer.

Takata recall. Honda is not willing to recall the takata airbags and takata airbag inflators in my car, although honda did recall the above parts on the closest vehicles, - honda accord coupe 2006 with a 4-cylinder engine. I need to know how and why my vehicle is considered safer than the other 2006 accords. This was the explanation that I got when I called honda customer service at 800 999-1009. She wasn't able to provide any additional details into the process, nor did she have another number for me to call.
We were driving our 2006 honda accord ex-l (4cyl) and the SRS light came on and we have previously (6 months before) had the airbags replace under the takata recall. We took the vehicle in immediately and found out that the airbag control module had failed and has to be replace at $650.00. I have never had an airbag control module fail and I am surprised that honda is not covering this safety issue.
I was driving with my wife around 1230am 12/27/15 last night from a friends house to our home about a 5 mile drive when the driver's side airbag went off for no reason. The road I was on was a local road. I was driving normal and safely because it was late and very dark at the time. It exploded twice. I was sitting in the driver position. My wife in the front passenger seat felt a blast on her chest. The passenger air bag never went off. I felt a blast as well and luckily nothing hit my face. Smoke filled the cabin. We opened the windows and got out fast. I pulled over to the side of the road but it was pitch black where we were. We waited about 15 minutes before deciding we should try to drive home...since we were close to home, I drove home. I called my insurance company to put in a claim because I didn't know what else to do. I had previously went to my honda dealership twice to get the airbags fixed. I went on may 7 2015 and october 13 2015. I wanted this noted in case. We were scared. I never expected this airbag to go off for no reason b/c I had gone in twice for recalls. No police report was filed b/c there was no accident. My insurance company progressive is supposed to call me on monday for the next step.
Honda dealer replaced an airbag and now my airbag light keeps coming on. Dealer says I now have to replace my SRS system for $800.00. I have spoken with american honda and they have distanced themselves from the dealer. I have spoken to the gm of tampa honda, [xxx] and the service manager [xxx] and they both say one has nothing to do with the other. I feel that I am a victim of deceptive trade practice by tampa honda. I advised them that I am currently at risk driving the car and they referred me to their attorney [xxx] and said there is nothing for them to do. I will have my attorney write them a letter of disclosure this week. I would appreciate any assistance from the federal safety agency. Thank you [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
