What owners say
Tl* the contact owns a 2000 honda civic. The contact stated that the driver side seat belt failed to retract and the SRS warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the seat belt needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired due to the VIN not being able to be recognized. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The contact was informed that due to the vehicle being manufactured in canada, they were not obligated to repair the vehicle. The canadian manufacturer stated that due to the vehicle being registered in the u.s., they were not obligated to repair the vehicle. The failure mileage was 146,022.
The cars safety belts have had trouble retracting for about 5 years. I was unaware of being able to report safety issues, or would have much sooner. Most recently the low beams went out. The SRS light is also on. The cars horn is wired into the SRS system. So you loose two major safety features at once. Very bad design. The drivers seat had been loose for years. The skid plate/floorboard cracked and allowed the bolts or hardware to corrode. I ran the VIN and was surprised no recalls are available, as the problems my family is experiencing have been recalled on similar honda's.
Tl*the contact owns a 2000 honda civic. The contact stated that the drivers side seat belt was unable to retract and would pop out of place, causing the SRS light to illuminate. When the SRS light was illuminated it deactivated the air bag system. The failure could potentially cause injury during a crash. The dealer advised the contact have the seat belt buckle replaced since there was a lifetime warranty. The seat belt buckle was repaired; however, the SRS light continued to illuminate deactivating the air bag system. The manufacturer confirmed that there was a lifetime warranty on seat belts but not on the air bag system. The current and failure mileages were 155,000.
I was driving down riverside in rockford. When I entered the intersection at riverside and rockton, a car turned in front of me. I had no time to react and hit the car at 40 MPH. My two door 2000 honda civic ex is totaled due to the amount of damage sustained to the front of my vehicle. However, my airbags never deployed. I never had any airbag lights on in my car prior to the accident or any warnings indicating that the airbag did not work.
Dt: the contact stated the SRS air bag light illuminated. She was concerned if there was an accident the air bags may not deploy. The dealer stated the SRS and both air bags needed to be replaced. The vehicle has not been repaired.
While driving air bag warning light continuously illuminated on the dashboard. As a result, air bags were inoperative and wouldn't deploy when needed, per dealership. Also, dealership reset five times the electrical system, but the problem still exists.

These vehicles were equipped with Non-Azide Driver air bag Inflators (NADI) and do not contain phase stabilized ammonium nitrate (PSAN) propellant. Due to a manufacturing issue, the NADI inflators may absorb moisture, causing the inflators to rupture or the air bag cushion to underinflate.

- In the event of a crash necessitating air bag deployment, an inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants. An underinflated air bag cushion may not properly protect the occupant. These scenarios increase the risk of serious injury or death.
- Remedy
- Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the driver frontal air bag inflator, and replace it if necessary, with an inflator of a different design, free of charge. The recall began October 1, 2020. Owners may contact American Honda's Customer Support & Campaign Center at 1‑888‑234‑2138 or Isuzu customer service at 1‑800‑255‑6727.
