1. Safety recall notice indicative of air bag problem. Took to dealer. He said that it has been fixed after an hour of stay for passenger inflator-and when noticed while driving back, the airbag light came again. Prior to this also, this problem was notified a few years ago, and I got it fixed. Dealer asking money for doing diagnostics and then fixing it. 2. Front and rear bumper clips fixed several times-4 times spending my own money but always a problem.

I had deer hit on I-80 west at mile stone 294.2. In pennsylvania. My speed was 55 MPH I hit brakes but despite that car hit deer and completely damaged. Despite such a accident not a single air bag was inflated. In 2015 I got letter of recall from honda on air bag. I took it to dealership and they claimed they fixed it. But in accident not a single air bag was inflated. Vehicle is totaled. Honda has compromised safety of vehicle and put my life at risk.

Passenger side airbag light is on

Filed Mar 10, 2020 · Airbags, Visibility · MA

The passenger visor will not go back up and hangs down which could have an effect if the passenger airbag deploys, the visor might snap if it is forced back up and visibility could be a problem if the sun comes in that way. I have major concerns for deployment of the passenger airbag. The visor is stationary and in motion on the highway and on city streets as well as turning on all roads

The federal safety agency recall # 16v346 was issued on july 20, 2016 to replace faulty airbags that split on impact. This notice only replaced the passage side air bag. I assumed the drivers side would be replaced at a later date but as yet haven't received a notice. According to the honda airbag inflator recall center, mailed notification to replace the drivers airbag will begin in april 2019, but I have not received a recall notice. I'm a senior citizen, 90 yrs old and still driving independently. An impact with a faulty airbag deployment would be devastating and possibly fatal. This is my formal claim to have my drivers airbag replaced as soon as possible. Thank you.

After the recall,my side air bag has problem and need to be replaced due to the airbag light on and dealer checking. I wonder if this is due to the air bag quality issues.

"takata recall". The dashboard warning light has been on consistently since 2017 indicating that the passenger airbag is not functioning. The automatic transmission is not functioning properly. When going downhill, the RPM will increase significantly without using the acceleration pedal. Both sun visors are broken...each side came apart from the opposite side. The cd player quit working in 2016. The air conditioner quit working in 2016.
