I accidently hit a curb on a dark road making a right turn after a stop and 1 second later side curtain airbags deployed. So I was less than 5mph There is no exterior damaged just hit the curb with the rear right wheel. Tire is perfectly fine. This should be a safety concern because airbags can cause serius injuries. They are too sensitive.

On March 4th, 2019 I totaled my car during rush hour on I-44 Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. I hit the back of an F-150 pickup which resulted in totaling my car. My front bumper was pushed in and the hood of my car was bent in half. None of my airbags activated. My car was towed to Service King located in Moore, Oklahoma where the damage was assessed and reported to State Farm Auto the car was totaled. I didn't know where to report the airbags until I saw a story on our local news about the federal safety agency to investigate 30 million vehicles for defective air bag inflators. That is the purpose of this message. Several months before my accident, I took my car into Eskridge Honda in Oklahoma City due to an airbag recall. They checked and replaced the front passenger airbag saying the rest of the airbags were fine. I have pictures of the front of my car along with pictures of the inside of my car showing that none of the airbags activated [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

He estado llamando dejando mensajes para que me den una cita para arreglar el problema de las bolsas de aire y nadie a regresado mis llamadas también lo he hecho en línea y dicen que una persona me llamara en la semana y nadie me llama. Nose como lograr que arreglen ese defecto si nadie se contacta conmigo
My passenger air bag light is on and I believe it's a manufacturer defect. It won't turn on no matter if someone is sitting in the seat or not
We had a car accident on christmas due to ice on the road and ended up hitting 2 telephone poles! None of the airbags deployed at all! We hit the poles head on! I have had the airbags fixed from the recall and never been in another accident to have to have airbags fixed so there was no reason them to noy deploy!
I went to a mechanic today, I have 'passenger airbag off light flashing' he told me hondas have recalled for airbags in dealerships so I checked my vehicle report it says that I had 2 recalls in 2019 and I did them but I didn't. 'recall subject: air bags: passenger side frontal report receipt date: 06/27/2019 the federal safety agency campaign: 19v502000' I believe I had that problem when I bought my car, my passenger lights off blinking while I'm driving even tho no passengers there. So I was trying to check my recalls on the honda website it shows that I don't have any. Also, I have a problem when I do reverse engine light starts flashing p0812 code but no problems except code
Honda extended a warranty for 2006-2008 civics to replace defective engine blocks. I have a 2008 civic that has very low mileage so I was unaware of this issue until now. They will not honor their replacement warranty, nor did the dealership say anything to me when I had my car serviced there several times a year since 2015. Why would they not say something? Now I'm left with a car that is useless and I bet the dealership I have purchased more than 5 cars from will take it as a trade in. It was in motion parked to go in the store and came out to all of my antifreeze on the pavement. Had to limp it some so it wouldn't cause more damage.

Takata recall prior to recall, car was totaled due to head on collision ~ 02/16/2012 in intersection where larger approaching vehicle turned left at unknown speed into my car. Airbag 'deployed' such that I sustained two broken ribs ( rt 7,8) and extensive bruising with pieces of parts debris stuck in my clothing. As the car was junked I didn't have the correct VIN when the recall notice was published; my local dealer recently provided it.

The TPMS ligh does not turn off after checking it. I have 5 recalls for airbag at the passenger seat that I did not know of.
Changed the passenger airbags at recommended dealer by honda. They supposedly changed it and should have done the proper checks to make sure all is well but it was obviously not done as the car ended up locking up seatbelts on driver and passenger from a minor pothole that the case manager is calling a collision. I couldnt believe he insisted that this (hitting a pothole and airbags going off) had happened to him already trying to make it seem normal. More importantly, from the codes that the shop informed me of, seat sensor on passenger side was no good and although no one was sitting on it it locked belts and the airbags failed to inflate. They are with my car 60 days and counting.... Never honda again.
This vehicle was in an accident in 2008 (car was 3 months old) and written off as totaled by state farm and I never saw it again. So can not very well do the air bag recall. And by the way, the air bags worked perfectly. I walked away and bought another one.
Horn randomly going off, while stationary and while driving. Its a steady beep as if someone is laying on the horn. This past saturday the horn was going off for hours until I returned home. I had to get in the car and tap the steering well and it stopped. It went off again this morning. A mechanic said that its the airbag pushing pressure on the horn. This has been going on a month or so.
This vehicle was totalled in march 2008 (about 6 weeks old) and was transferred to state farm insurance. It has not been in my possession since then. The car was crushed into the guardrails on an acceleration ramp by a tractor trailer. Both sides of the car were damaged bumper to bumper as well as the rear, the left front wheel and right rear wheels were destroyed and ripped from the car. The right rear quarter area of the unibody was crushed. None of the airbags deployed in the accident. I advised honda motor quite some time ago of these facts. Please contact state farm about this vehicle's disposition.
The car has a problem with the SRS wiring harness that controls airbag deployment and driver and passenger safety. This causes the airbag light to come on and prevents proper deployment. The problem is extremely common in hondas, specifically 8th generation cars. The cause is a poorly made wire that gets caught in the passenger seat track, causing a short in the wire. It can only be repaired properly and safely by removing the entire wiring harness and replacing it. This requires that the carpeting and the dashboard be removed and takes 6-8 hours worth of work, and is replaced with a $200-400 part depending on where you take it. It cannot be fixed easily or affordably by the consumer, and prevents the car from being safe to drive or passing inspections in the state of virginia. The problem may have occurred sooner, as the vehicle was only purchased used a few months ago. It happens in most hondas and is not covered by the manufacturer's 150,000 mile warranty on other parts despite having released a tsb to all dealerships because the problem is so common. It presents a danger to drivers and deserves to have a recall issued.
Tl* the contact owns a 2008 honda civic. While driving approximately 37 MPH, the vehicle crashed into the rear of another vehicle. The front end of the vehicle sustained severe damage, but the air bags did not deploy. A police report was filed. There were no injuries. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The local dealer (ed morris honda, 3790 west blue heron blvd, riviera beach, fl) was notified of the failure. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 115,000.
Tl* the contact owned a 2008 honda civic. While driving approximately 55 MPH, the contact lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a guardrail. The vehicle flipped over a couple of times. There were no warning indicators illuminated. All the air bags deployed except for the driver side air bag. The contact sustained injuries that required medical attention. A police report was filed. The dealer and manufacturer were not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was towed and deemed a total loss by the insurance company. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.
**airbags deployed after driving over pothole** I drive a 2008 honda civic 2dr with 160k miles. On march 15, 2018 I was traveling northbound I-294 when my vehicle collided with a pothole at approx. 65 MPH and the driver curtain and driver seat airbag deployed. The impact wasn't hard enough to damage my wheel or body of the car. The pothole should not of interrupted the SRS system. This is a result of a defect in honda's air bag/restraint system.
Tl* the contact owns a 2008 honda civic. The contact received notification of the federal safety agency campaign number: 17v545000 (air bags); however, the parts to do the repair were unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The dealer (dch honda of nanuet, 10 ny-304, nanuet, ny 10954, (845) 367-4380) was contacted and an appointment was scheduled. Upon arrival, the contact was informed that the parts were not available. The dealer informed her that the parts would be available in approximately two weeks from the date of order. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
I have had to have the sun visor/airbags on my 2008 honda civic replaced 3 times because something keeps popping in them. Honda replaced the first 3 times under warranty. The fourth time it popped, honda said that they were out of warranty and they would not replace them for free. I feel honda should still be responsible for the replacements, as they keep replacing the sun visors with the same old crappy ones that break within 2 years. Hopefully, we can get honda to take the responsibility for knowingly replacing the parts, with parts they know are defective.
Takata recall- my honda was totaled and my airbags never deployed.
Takata recall I received a post card indicating that I should file a complaint even if the airbag did not inflate. I cannot enter a date as described in this document for lack of a better date I am including the date I am filing out this form.
Takata recall I was driving at about 15 to 20 miles an hour in a empty parking lot an went over a parking curb. The drivers side airbag opened up and hit my chest causing minor powder burns to my right arm and a small cut. The car had no damage and came to imediate stop before another curb in the lot.

My son was driving my car and crashed. The air bags didn't work on the time of the accident
Contacted sussman honda dealer by phone regarding remedying passenger frontal airbag recall. Was told I would need to email. Sent email on 08/01/2016. No reply. Emailed again on 09/23/16, no reply. Called dealer and after a bit of "phone tag" and the service department struggling to find my VIN, info, etc. I was told the parts were already on order and I would be contacted when they were in. It is now a full year later, and I have not heard anything. My vehicle is still under recall and the issue has not been repaired.
