Nothing has happened yet, but I am worried something will. The problems with the airbags on my car are beyond ridiculous at this point and something needs to be done. I am worried about my safety when driving my only car. The vehicle has already been recalled twice now and it seems that the airbag problems have still not been resolved. Honda is unable to fix the current issue until they have the parts, which could be a long time. I am either forced to get a new car or drive in a car that might have airbags that won't deploy in an accident. Is something going to be done about all the cars on the road with these problems.
2003 Honda Civic airbags complaints

Air bag light is on and won't go off
Tl* the contact owns a 2003 honda civic. While operating the vehicle, the air bag indicator remained illuminated. The contact indicated that the failure occurred after service was performed to replace the air bag inflator. The cause of the failure was not determined. Honda of stevens creek (4590 stevens creek blvd, san jose, ca) was notified of the failure. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 129,000.
The passenger side airbag inflator has been recalled. I can replace it free. But the replacement will be an act of futility because the SRS light is on, the sensor is probably broken, and if there is an accident the air bag won't go off. (I have not scheduled the pointless act.) I spoke to someone in complaints. If the SRS light is due to a sensor problem, replacement will cost another $1900. Dealers are privately owned and they charge what they charge. Never mind the fact that honda makes the sensor and prices them high. That, in turn, forces dealers to charge a lot.
Takata recall - this is crazy...I first had to have the driver's side airbag recall done on my vehicle. Now years later I need to bring the car back in for the passenger side recall. Next it will be some other part. If something happens to my car with these airbags, I am not only going after honda and takata, but the regulators. You all need to be making sure people are safe. Too many people are impacted by this. You all need to have the manufacturer do a complete inspection on anything pertaining to the airbags!
Takata recall. Honda came to my house to replace air bags and now the SRS light is on and honda wants to charge me 982.00 because they said it is a computer problem.

Takata recall
I am driving honda civic 2003 model past 14+ years. I am single owner. I had an accident on 10/24/2018. I applied the brake when I saw traffic stopped but the seat belt not tighten. Because of this reason, my chest hit the steering. Also air bag didn't open. Good news is no fracture but my chest hitted steering really bad. Few years ago I went to the honda service station they changed the seat belt but not remember the which seat belt they changed. Please do the inspection and do the needful help who ever still driving honda civic. Please feel free to call me at (xxxxx) if you have further questions.

Takata recall previous complaint in feb. 2018, and no action taken, complaint # 11079970, air bag recall, resulting in no action taken from honda, head-on accident occurred, and air-bags should've deployed, but didn't. Injuries incurred. Honda has refused any partaking on matter. I was at a complete stop, in the turning lane, car appeared out of nowhere, and I hit her head-on to the drivers side front bumper, light, tire. This was a no-fault accident on the police report.
Takata inflators, while driving or sitting still, engine light comes on & stays on, brakes faulty while driving loud noise, and I have to press down hard on the brakes for it to slow down, driving/stabilized low visibility due to lights, it's very hard to tell if the lights are on our not inside & outside the vehicle, while driving noticed the brakes are unstable. Air bag sensor is always on, open door indicators don't work, drove car and door wasn't fully closed although I knew I closed the door fully, driving on the highway, and driver side door opened unexpectedly. Trunk door opens unexpectedly, trouble keeping it closed, gas door doesn't open/close properly. Loud noise in motion, trouble picking up speed
"takata recall"..the airbag light in my car randomly comes on a lot, I worry that it will deploy while driving. 2nd concern: suspension in my car is very bad, I had my mechanic check it and he said he had lots of complaints about this in lots of civics, he can't find problem.
The airbag does not work at all..and ive always had a problem with the headlights fogging all the time....
Takata recall: there have been numerous times where I have either called or went to a honda dealership to have the airbag inflators on both the driver and passenger side, fixed to avoid harm to myself or others. In almost three years, I have not once heard back about the dealership receiving parts to fix the issue. I have never received notice, nor was I told about the recall with the wiring harness terminal for the low beam headlights. Honda needs to fix this issue because it is a huge safety hazard that can get people killed or seriously injured.
Takata recall the air bags came out prematurely while in motion
Takata recall? I was in an accident with a major impact to my car and none of the airbags inflated. I was stopped on a freeway off-ramp and another vehicle rear-ended me with full speed pushing me to collide with another vehicle in front of me.
Tl* the contact owned a 2003 honda civic. The contact took the vehicle to huntington honda (1055 jericho turnpike, huntington, ny 11743, phone number: (631) 423-6000) to be repaired for an unknown air bag recall. While driving from the dealer, the contact noticed that the air bag was sticking out of the steering wheel and the horn failed to function. While driving 25 MPH, the gear shifter failed to shift out of park, the radio failed, and the steering wheel seized. The vehicle stalled without warning. While making a left turn, the contact crashed into a high curb, which pushed the engine back. The air bags failed to deploy. The contact sustained a broken foot that required medical attention. A police report was not filed. The vehicle was towed to nardy honda smithtown (559 middle country rd, st james, ny 11780, phone number: (855) 738-2920). The vehicle was destroyed. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 131,000.
Takata recall (15v‑370), after bringing my vehicle into honda for the takata recall the SRS light came on. Since it was not part of the recall I did not contact them figuring that it would not be covered. However, I have seen numerous complaints about the same thing happening to others online. It also happened to a friend of mine and honda covered it so I called and was told it would not be covered it must be a coincidence and certainly not from a defect or improper work. I find it very odd that the light came on right after the work on the recall. I had doubts about brining it in and should not have done it. They say it is probably related to a sensor, which I have gathered could have been from improper work.
Takata recall, recall? The original airbags have been replaced, approximately 18 months ago. Now the airbag light has come on - and stays on. I came on 2 weeks ago for no apparent reason (no crash or other reason it would come on). It is on from the time I turn the car on until I turn the car off.
Air bag light comes on after being fixed by previous recall.

Srs light comes on constantly. Code reads seat belt buckle, changed multiple times under seat belt warranty. Now tech line advises replacing wire harness into seat belt...dealer wants over $900. Honda will cover under warranty anything seat belt related but they do not care about air bags...and won't cover it. Please cover this under warranty honda...it's not even guaranteed this will clear the code. Theory is air bags are disabled if SRS light is on...why have the harness anyway...service has used electrical contact cleaner, re-wired the end of the harness, but only satisfies for a few months and code continues to eliminate SRS light which disables airbags. Why cover seatbelts but not airbag/SRS system?
Tl* the contact owns a 2003 honda civic. While driving at various speeds, the air bag light was constantly illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the air bag system failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired under the federal safety agency campaign number: 15v320000 (air bags), but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 210,000.
So, I received the honda safety recall notice for the airbags and brought my 2003 civic to be serviced. After it was compete, I noticed that the airbag light was still illuminated on my dash. I went back to speak with the dealership and the woman said that light is not part of the recall! How absurd is that?! There's a diagnostic charge for figuring out what the problem is. Why isn't this part of the recall, honda?!?!
Tl* the contact owns a 2003 honda civic. The contact received notification of the federal safety agency campaign number: 15v370000 (air bags) however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. The VIN was unavailable.
Called the dealership for an appointment and was given one over 60 days beyond the days date. The recall is for airbags and is a clear safety risk to drivers. They will sell vehicles but will not repair their mistakes in a reasonable amount of time.
Took car in for airbag failure recall and was told the SRS unit in the airbag system had an internal failure. However, this was not covered under any type of warranty or recall. This is an integral part of a safety system that should not fail under normal wear an tear. The part was on back order and required a deposit of $800 to order. We left the dealership not knowing if our airbags would work or not.
08/31/2015 I purchased this car from ganley westside imports, 25580 lorain ave., north olmsted, oh 44070, 440‑734‑2000 in november 2014 with this recall outstanding. I was told they would order the part. I called the service department in january 2015 and was told my name wasn't even in the system but he would order the part. I called again on may 18, 2015, and was told the part was still back ordered.
