The ac has stopped working the heater does not blow out hot air,the air bag light has came on ,&now the car started to overheated an now will not start at all now...the oil light has came on ...when the car was running the transmission was not shifting correctly....
On Friday 8/12/22 at about 12PM, the drivers side airbag on my Honda Civic inadvertently deployed while driving west on Hwy 28 in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan (coords 46.310194, -85.627542). I was driving the speed limit (65 mph). The car did not collide with any object. I noticed the airbag light had come on before the incident, however, there were no service centers or Honda dealers within at least a hundred miles. My safety was put at risk by the sudden and unexpected deployment of the airbag. My left wrist and elbow were injured by the deployment along with laceration on my wrist. I have an appointment at the local Honda Dealer (Thelen Honda - Bay City, MI) on 9/2/22 at 9:30am to have the vehicle/airbag system inspected. Unfortunately, there are no earlier openings for service. A claim has been filed with my car insurance. They have not inspected the damage at this time and probably won't because they informed me my policy won't cover the damage.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 honda civic. While driving 70 MPH with the cruise control activated, the cruise control deactivated automatically twice. The contact reactivated the cruise control each time. Also, the air bag warning indicator illuminated and, soon after, the air bags deployed. There were no injuries. The contact lost control of the vehicle, but then regained control and pulled off the highway. The contact inspected the vehicle and found no visible damage other than a cracked windshield.

The failure mileage was approximately 278,000.
Complaint: SRS light illuminated - cause 32-1-x (x=0-9/a-f) open or increased resistance in the right side airbag inflator. Repair is not covered by honda because "right side airbag inflator (in the seat, not the dash) not covered under the warranty extension" - repair estimate quoted at "around $1,200" at this point, the only issue is the light is on. This is true anytime the ignition is in the on position regardless of vehicle disposition. I opened a case with honda USA (case number 09737616, and they denied coverage.
I was told my car needs an inflator but that it is not covered under recall. Why does this car have an airbag issue that is not covered? 802 honda, in montpelier vt has replaced the drivers seat belt buckle twice and each time the airbag light goes out but now they say it needs a right side airbag inflator in the seat which is not covered by the recall and they gave me a repair estimate (range) of $1,000 to $1,500. This is a safety issue and should therefore be covered by recall. Additionally, there was a recall on the visors which fall into the line of sight when driving as a result of splitting apart which should also be covered but there was an expiration on that recall. The safety issue is the same regardless of whether the car is six years old or 16 and regardless of the mileage so this too should be covered by the manufacturer.
I have had my passages airbag recalled twice and ever since the last time - the airbags light goes on all the time and honda 1) charges me - 2 times to even look at it since it wasn't a recall and 2) want me to pay to fix it. It a very common problem and they cause it by recalling it twice and wreaking the connection and says it's my problem - please read honda strive bulletin 10-001 put out on 12/12/10. The SRS inductor comes on and dtc 32-10 is stored - honda needs to fix this!,,
