Takata recall I have spoken to honda and they have no estimate for when the replacement passenger airbag parts will be available. The backorder is so large that they aren't even able to accommodate the order itself at this time. Their solution is to have nobody ride in the passenger seat until parts are available. For a family of four with only one car, this is not acceptable. They are putting us in danger and refusing to take full responsibility by trying to pass us off to the dealership.
Takata recall: received conflicting messages from the federal safety agency and honda. According to the federal safety agency, there is a serious recall for my civic, part is available for fixing and vehicle should not be driven until fixed. I called honda, and they say okay to drive except no passenger in front seat and part will not be available until late summer/early fall. I need to know what to do at this point. Finally, honda has never even contacted me about the recall. I called them when I read your article. Please advise about this.
My honda civic was hit on the drivers side door by a ford ranger pickup truck. I was driving northbound on a city street in san luis obispo, ca and the truck was heading southbound and attempted to make a left hand turn across the lane that I was occupying when I was hit. The driver airbag in the truck deployed, but the side curtain airbag in my civic did not deploy. I was injured by broken glass and impact of my left arm & shoulder against the driver door. The impact for was sufficient to bend both the a-pillar and b-pillar into the passenger compartment. I believe that the side curtain airbag in my civic was defective. Note that a local honda dealership offered to run a diagnostic test, but since the vehicle is drivable, and was towed to a car storage yard after the accident, the dealer was unable to inspect the vehicle.
I have been waiting for letter from honda for the airbag recall since my model car has been indicated that the air bag has recall but so far no letter has arrived ! I have been driving a dangerous car for over 2 years now

I was hit on the passenger side of the car by an SUV. The repairs were with genuine honda parts but ever since then the front controls where the radio is has been extremely hot. Almost to the point I think I burn my hands to change the radio station. I think it may be hot enough to start a fire with melting the controls in the back. I have been told there is nothing that can be done or it will cost me a lot of money to diagnose it. I just see it as a safety issue to have the dash so hot it burns people. The passenger airbag did not deploy in the crash and possibly should have.

I was currently in an accident. I was driving my 2009 honda civic 2 door coupe. The accident accrued due to wet road conditions, which caused me to lose control and 360 on a highway and slam into an embankment and roll over 4 times. As I was injured thank god it was not life threatening, as it could of been. I was surprised after the accident that none of my air bags deployed. I do understand that there are sensors on the cars but every angle of the car had some type of impact, so, why only two air bags deployed on the passenger side front and back window when there was no one in the passenger seat. I was the only one in the car and of course I was the driver in the driver seat. My concern that someone in the future will not be as lucky as me and get seriously hurt due to a defect with the air bags and sensors. It makes me think about honda and there cars and I could never get back in a honda again cause next time I may not be so lucky. I am concerned for honda drivers and wanted to make a complaint about the air bags that I believe to have a defect that needs to be corrected for the safety and well being of others out there on the road. I purchased a honda civic because it is know to be the safest car out there with its safety features, but after the accident I questioned that fact. So, I hope honda will consider taking a look at this and correct the issue for the well being of other honda drivers.

The driver's side airbag deployed while driving about five miles per hour in downtown philadelphia. No impact happened, no pothole was hit. The honda place where I lease the car is blaming it on a 4 inch square piece of asphalt stuck somewhere under the car. That did not happen when the airbag depolyed. My insurance company has filed a claim and will examine the car.
I was the driver of a 2009 honda civic ex coupe.

I have neck injuries and possibly soft tissue injuries from the impact of how I was hit (whiplash). I am going to therapy (chiropractor and physical therapy because I am in alot of pain every day. The air bags did not deploy/ and my husband who was the passenger got hurt too.
Air bag light came on less than two weeks from purchase date...... Could cause safety issues in case of an accident.
