The passenger side airbag light went on and I want to know why my VIN is not part of safety recall.

Filed Aug 1, 2015 · Airbags · 120,000 miles · NY

I was driving my 2007 honda civic si coupe at approximately 10-20mph. Without warning my passenger side airbags deployed (2 airbags in total). The airbag deployment was loud, shocked me, and filled my car with smoke. I initially thought I was hit; however no cars were on my passenger side or able to hit me. I pulled over and there was no damage to my car (other than the inside where the airbags now deployed). My airbag light was not on prior to deployment. There was no sort of impact and absolutely no indication/reason the airbags should have deployed. If someone was sitting on my passenger side, they could have been seriously injured. If the driver airbags deployed, I could have been seriously injured and/or possibly caused an accident. This is a dangerous and very concerning malfunction that could have resulted in a lot worse.

The VIN number on my daughter's 2007 civic coupe does not bring up a recall to replace the airbag. Why? Does this mean that there is no danger of metal shards exploding out of the airbag? I called american honda's consumer information dept. They checked my VIN and said that there was no airbag recall. I asked why there was no recall and was told that honda does not always put the same brand of airbag in all of their vehicles. Is this true?

4/10/14 picked up my car from a body shop referred by victory honda drove a couple of blocks turned left 3 to 4 seconds after the turn my drivers side airbag and the airbag in the side of my seat deployed at the same time without collision at the same time. Causing a continual ringing in my ear. Took car back to body shop they took my car back to victory honda and told them I hit a curb. Victory honda, honda of america, and the insurance company for the body shop are all sticking to that story. I did not hit anything and now I am forced to drive an unsafe vehicle as the seat belts and the remaining airbags are all disconnected. Thank you for your time. My email address is [xxx].

I took my 2007 honda civic to the dealership to inquire about my SRS light, I was told that the cause was dtc 32-10, intermittent connection in floor harness. And that this was not covered by warranty. I have researched online and seen others with the same issue. It seems there is design flaw in the SRS system. I have also found a service bulletin number: sb-10-001 this seems like safety issue that should be covered by an extended warranty. Thank you for your time.

I am having a serious issue with water leaking in through my side curtain driver side air bag when it rains. I spoke to two different dealerships and they want to take apart my whole car and both also said completely different things. It apparently is not covered under my warrant because it is a water leak but that is unfair. It is most likely destroying my air bag and that is a safety concern. Honda corporate told me they have never heard of such an issue and that their hands are tied.

I was advised by honda north in clovis, ca, to replace the opds sensor and the opds control unit which should have removed the air bag warning light. It did not! I spent $697.87 for this repair at visalia honda only to be told they could not reset the air bags. I was then told the SRS control unit needed to be replaced in order to reset the air bags. The quoted cost to replace the SRS control unit was $450.00. Also, I was told by visalia honda's service manager, [xxx], that they had no way of determining why the warning light was coming so repairs were being made in some kind of pecking order. The SRS control unit was replaced with american honda providing the part while I paid $221.54 for the labor. The warning light came on again in august 2014 at which time I was told by visalia honda that the cable reel had intermittent failure and needed to be replaced at a cost of $413.00. The cable reel has not been replaced. I have noticed many others having the same safety issues with their 2007 civic but yet american honda refuses to recall the vehicles.

Honda civic lx 2 door coupe. My wife and I were driving on quiet residential street looking at homes. Going slow - estimate10-12 MPH - we had just been at a complete stop looking at a house. Foot was on brake - going down slight hill. Approached two metal sewer covers in middle of road - one in front of the other. Middle of car went over first cover and I pressed brake harder because road was more uneven then appeared and car sits alittle low to ground. Was about to go over second cover and passenger side airbags deployed with a load explosion. When I opened my eyes, I saw smoke and thought car was on fire. Wife was holding right arm, said it was broken (it wasn't). It took a while to realize what happened. I inspected bottom of car and engine compartment. I saw no damage and started the car - not sure if I shut it off or happened automatically. Driver seat belt was locked in position. Passenger seat belt worked. Car ran and operated normally. Airbags caused a lot of interior damage. I took pictures of road and sewer covers from different angles. While the car was between the two sewer covers, I felt a vibration come up the steering wheel. Wife felt and heard nothing. I suspect bottom of car hit edge of second cover because it's slightly elevated. Although there were no marks on asphalt pavement or metal cover. My questions are: * why did airbags deploy? Why did they deploy at this speed? Why only the passenger airbags? Why did seat belts lock on driver side and not passenger side? I've called honda dealership twice. No replies. Insurance inspected. Car is in honda shop for repairs. I asked shop to provide any information on the computer at time of deployment.

Took car to my mechanic for SRS light on .he put it on his computer and code 32-10 comes up for "open or increased resistance in right side air bag inflater". He said to take it to a honda dealer for repair. Honda service man tells me wiring harness needs to be replaced a $1,200.00 repair!! Honda has had many other people having the same problem. Honda even has a service bulletin out for this problem. Service bulletin 10-001 dated february12,2010 and revised on august13,2010. It says floor wire harness has a poor crimp in it. This is a safety issue! Honda needs to have a recall on this!!

Srs light comes on intermittently and usually when driving over uneven terrain. I took it to the dealer and they reset the light for error code 33-10 (related to airbag inflator). I was told that I would need to replace the driver side curtain air bag if the light comes on again. This is a safety issue because when the light is on, the air bag system is disabled. In the event I get into an accident, I will not be protected. My car has never been to an accident and my airbags have never deployed and I bought the car new. I believe honda uses a faulty airbag system and creates a serious safety issue. In fact, I think honda has a service bulletin on this and a new part number to replace the old one.

The SRS light on my honda was on for the past month. This is a known issue that is affecting lots of honda civics of 2006 and 2007 that honda refuses to acknowledge. The wiring harness has to be replaced and the passenger side weight sensor, which is close to a $2000 repair. When I asked honda corporate (customer service [xxx] at 800‑999‑1009) I was arrogantly told they do not care because the car is outside of warranty. It is disgraceful that honda markets safety in their vehicles, but does not stand behind their SRS system failing prematurely. This is not a wear and team item and no one sits in my car besides me. There should be a safety recall on this since airbags will not deploy whether or not we wear seat belts. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Air bag was inoperative due to crimp in wire harness on passenger side. There was a honda bulletin on this problem that effected similar models. I paid $1300 to replace defective air bag wire harness due to poor workmanship. It was a safety issue that had to be corrected. I contacted honda for reimbursement, which honda refused, even though it was a known safety issue problem.

The airbag light would come on if we hit a small pothole. It would stay on sometimes until the key was cycled and sometimes for more than a day. After this happening more and more often we finally took it to the dealer. It turns out that the driver side curtain air bag had a open circuit in the inflator part. Honda only covered have the repairs but the should have covered all of it. This is mandatory safety equipment, it should be covered under a lifetime warranty like the seat belts.

The dealer replaced my passenger seat. After that my SRS warning light went off. It's been cycling on and off for years now. I was too frustrated at how I was treated at the dealership to go back at the time. Now I went in because I need to pass inspection and they tell me my whole SRS system has had an internal error.
