We were driving, and the passenger side and seat airbags deployed but did not inflate. The passenger seatbelt is now permanently locked so you can't even have anyone in the passenger seat. There was no collision and nothing in the road that we could have hit. We had a local honda service manager take a look at it briefly and he said he couldn't see why they deployed.

The SRS unit and seat belt locking unit needs to be replaced. The SRS unit and seat belt locking unit that locks the seat belt in place when it's in an accident are given codes in my 2007 honda accord and needs to be replaced. There have been 8 recalls on the 2007 honda accords regarding the air bags. There were recalls on the 2008 - 2009 honda accords SRS unit where honda did replace the SRS units for free. This 2007 honda accord was purchase in july of 2007 and by july of any year the next years models are already out on the car lots as well. Since 2008 honda accords were already on the lots there is a chance that the same SRS unit that was recalled in the 2008 - 2009 honda accords could be in my 2007 accord. The honda service guy working my ticket asked when was the car in a front end collision. My car has never been in a front end car collision. He said that this is usually when these codes happen. The codes mean that the airbags have been deployed which they have not. My mother and I have been the only owners and I have been the only driver. Honda of american said "at some point and time the owner has to take responsibility for repairs". I have for all repairs that have been done to the car, but with all the recalls and them stating "they wouldn't have replaced airbags in a car when the airbags had no chance of deploying". That is exactly the case in this instance. The airbag codes were displayed and diagnosed before the airbags were replace with this last recall. As long as the check airbag light is displayed the airbags will not deploy. The honda service tech said this. Honda states "if they get enough complaints and come to the conclusion that the parts are defective then they will reimburse me". How many complaints do you have to have before there there is an investigation to see if the parts are defective.

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.

Friday morning (5/15/2015) around 11:00am I was driving in interstate with my brother as passenger and my daughter at back seating on her carseat. I followed a car about 40ft in front of me with the cruising speed 70mph. Suddenly I saw a small tire fragment a size of xbox controller and carefully passed in between, seconds after there was a loud bang inside the car I thought the tire was blown out. I slowed down and put on hazard signal and moved my car safely on the side of the road. I noticed the passenger side curtain airbag deployed. I safely made a visual check on my tire, front bumper, any unusual but everything was okay. The passenger seat belt lockout, side passenger seat blown out. Driving honda accord ex-l v6 year: 2007

Heavy traffic, large truck in front of me, a large muffler in the middle of my lane in the road, was unable to change lanes due to other vehicles next to me, and was unable to drive off road - barriers set in the berm next to road. Did my best in straddling the muffler, in which it had seemed it would clear the bottom of my car. I didn't clear it, the curtain airbag and seat airbag imploded on the left side of my head/ear (very loud pop and some smoke-type substance in air) on the driver's side, along with my seat belt retracting very tightly. Was able to move the airbag so that I could drive the remaining short distance to my home.
