I have had my SRS light on since I purchased this car in july of 2017. My seat belts do not lock at the appropriate times. I was also involved in a wreck driving in rain on the interstate and hydroplaned. I hit a median going about 50 MPH. No air bags ejected from the impact. The results of the impact were a dented fender, replacement of the driver side control arm, new ball joints, as well as a desperately needed tire alignment. I feel if this impact was hard enough to bend the control arm then my air bags should have ejected, but I'm no mechanic. Thank you.

Takata airbag issue: I was in a front end collision at a speed of about 20mph on a city street with no one in the passenger seat. The vehicle sustained significant front end damage, resulting in loss of the front bumper, damage to the hood and to the front engine components, including leaking of window washer and transmission fluids. The driver's air bag did not deploy, but in my estimation, is should have done so. I was not injured since I was wearing a seat belt. The air bag is a replacement air bag that was replaced by a honda dealer in virginia, at the very beginning of the takata air bag recall. I am simply reporting this as a potential safety issue, since I believe that the replacement air bag should have deployed as naturally as a factory installed one.

Takata recall: I rolled my car on my way to work in august of 2015. I had gotten a letter 2 weeks prior of an airbag recall. I called the local dealerships but due to high volume I was put on a waiting list. My airbags didn't deploy and my driver's seatbelt didn't lock. I suffered a fracture to the base of my skull and a traumatic brain injury. I couldn't work at all for 9 months and could only work 10-15 hours a week for several months after that. A week after the car accident I was fired from my job without severance pay and I called honda headquarters and they told me to keep checking for class action lawsuits. I was driving on a backroad going 40 MPH and I hit some lose gravel. I over reacted and turned the wheel causing me to make a u turn. I hit my breaks hard to stop and make sure my seatbelt would lock. The momentum of stopping caused my honda to roll. Since the airbags didn't deploy my face repeatedly hit the steering wheel and because my seatbelt didn't lock my head smashed the roof of the honda repeatedly.
