My son and his friend were both wearing their seatbelts and they ran the light on yellow since it was not safe to stop because of the speed he was going. Which anything above 35 makes it unsafe. And of course the person took off being careless herself. And of course an accident occurred, but the honda airbags did not deployed and the seatbelts became loose so both my son & his friend had to brace themselves from the impact of the accident. Because the seatbelts became loose and now they don't work at all and the airbag light is on. As if the airbags were suppose to deployed and never did.

My vehicle airbag light turned on twice within the last 5 months. Each time it stayed on when I started my car. After a quick internet research I learned that with the airbag light on my airbags would not deployed if I were in an car accident. The first time it happened I took it into a honda service center for testing. I was told that I needed to replace my battery because the low voltage could be the cause. After replacing the battery the light turned off and everything was good. Months later, the airbag light turned on again. I took my car to another honda service center and had it tested once again. This time I was told that my SRS control unit needed to be replace due to corrosion/old age. After researching this further, I found that there is a recall on the SRS control unit for honda vehicles. Unfortunately, this recall excluded my particular year. I understand that this is public safety issue and I believe that honda should expand this particular recall to other years. Others may not be as proactive in taking their vehicle in for testing or paying for the test and unit out of pocket. This is a huge safety issue that needs to be review before someone outside the recall classification gets injure or worse.

Filed Aug 1, 2016 · Airbags · 104,000 miles · CA · crash · 1 injury

My wife was involved in a collision while driving our 2007 accord. She was in motion at about 20 MPH when another vehicle crossed her path, whereupon the front of our honda struck the right side of the other vehicle. This was on state route 66 at the on-ramp to I-215. The problem is that the driver's frontal airbag did not deploy despite the fact that the seatbelt is locked and the airbag light is now blinking. She suffered minor injuries from hitting her head on something during the collision and there were about $3,000 in repairs to our honda. It would seem that the airbags should have deployed in the crash since the airbag light is blinking, which I presume to mean that the module has recorded a permanent deployment event.
