This car has a recalled takata airbag. I first contacted the dealership in october and have been waiting for the passenger side replacement airbag for 4 months and honda has not released any parts. Is there any way you can help us? This is a first car for my teenage son and we are obviously very concerned that although this accident might be rare, the outcome would be devastating.

I brought my 2002 civic to bel air honda (1800 a belair rd, fallston, md) on november 1, 2014 to address recalls to the front and passenger side airbags. I was told that parts had been ordered prior to my appointment. After my service appointment, I was told that the parts in fact were not in stock and would be reordered, and I would be contacted when the parts arrived. Over 60 days later, on january 26, 2015, I received new recall notices for these problems. Upon calling the dealership, I learned that the parts had never been ordered. The parts have allegedly been re-ordered but at this time the car has still not been repaired.

The SRS airbag light is always on, the seat belt buckle is sensing excessive resistance in the squib for the pretensioner. We have replaced the seat belt buckle once already, and it failed again. So the SRS airbag light is on which means my airbags will not go off if involved in an accident. Is this a safety issue? I see it as a safety issue and honda will not do anything to fix the problem. Can you please let me know if this is an issue honda should be made to repair?

My honda has the bad air bag inflators that can break apart and injure occupants and cut the air bag. The recall to replace these inflators is listed on the honda web site as only applying to vehicles in hot/humid climates. That was supposed to change. I have not received a recall notice because I live in wyoming. I want to know why honda hasn't recalled all affected vehicles, regardless of location.

I still have not received an airbag recall. The dealer told me my passenger seat airbag is in recall...because I asked. The dealer cannot help; it has no parts. American honda took my information without resolution. I have a case number from 10/29/14.but that's all. Us odot referred me to you. Thankfully, my auto accident record is flawless. However for the past ten years [ purchase date 2004 ] I have been subjected to the possibility of death and/or severe damage by the very item designed to protect me. And no cares about me, us, the consumer! My next car may not be a honda. Would you care? No.

I am getting nowhere with my local dealership here in austin, texas, ( howdy honda). The service dept. Tells me that on the drivers side part # 09hoz-14-045 is ok, but passenger side part # 09hoz-14-040 needs replacing as a danger to the passenger of exploding! They are comfortable with having me drive my honda knowing the danger to my wife or anyone in the passengers seat as the replacement part is not available! I have suggested to the service dept. At howdy honda to disengage the air bag system until they get the part/parts but I was told this is not a good idea! My question is ; "is it a good idea to be driving around with a ticking time bomb"! This dealership has not even offered me a safe auto to drive while the part is received by them! I am not at all pleased with the lack of concern shown me as a honda owner! Please contact me regarding this matter as I am concerned for our safety in driving this vehicle. Thank you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

The SRS (secondary restraint system) light came on. It originally happened while the was under warranty with the previous owner. Under 36,000 miles. The honda dealer where the car was serviced reset the light, replaced the seatbelt buckle but were unable to determine the cause of the SRS light coming back on. Multiple times. I believe this means the airbags are not working. Honda accepts no responsibility for this defect. And claim that since it occurred under warranty under the former owners of the car they are not responsible for fixing it.

This is regarding an open recall letter that we received and we took it to the dealer and they stated that it already had been completed. Which light is still on and the letter of the recall and the light still say that it is not done but all the dealers state that it is. We are not wanting to believe that it is true. So if there is another area that I need to be at please let me know we are just looking for this stuff to be resolved and honda held responsible for it.

This is about SRS indicator light and opds system. Srs light turned on in june 2004, at the dealership I was told "false alarm" and it was reset. The same thing happens several mounts later. In 2007 honda issued extended warranty for opds system, in that document SRS light (stays on) is linked to opds system. By an e-mail from honda I was told if SRS light is on (opds failure) the airbags will not deploy. This is a very important safety issue and honda must issue a recall for the opds system.
