Have started getting intermittent 'check airbag system' message on dash display even when there is no one and nothing in the front passenger seat. Happens more often on warm days.

Takata recall. I have been the original owner of my 2013 civic coupe, and have loved it since. However, within the past month, check airbag system light has come on, first time during the middle of me driving going straight forward and stayed on until I turned the car off. It continued to come on while driving, and eventually started coming on when I first started the car, stationary. It does not come on every single time, but comes on very very frequently. This is a huge safety concern and they need to recall the problem. I called to see how much honda would charge to fix it, and they said $140 just to diagnose, and multiple reports of the parts costing up to $1300 to repair. This is ridiculous for someone to have to pay this amount for a car and a company that is supposed to be one of the most reliable and trusted brands on the market. The reason I chose a honda civic was because of the low rate of problems, and this is the hugest problem that can occur, a life threatening problem, very disappointed. There have been multiple reports of people getting in crashes and the airbag not going off, huge safety concern, and life threatening, even if the light does not come on. This should be a major red flag to anyone who owns a 2013 honda civic if the light has come on or not!! Atleast 4 people have died from 2011 hyundai sonata and 2013 kia forte takata airbag problems reported earlier this week. This should be taken seriously immediately by honda and the federal safety agency and looked into asap. Please share this information if you have a similar problem, know someone with a honda civic, or has occurred to someone you know. By writing complaints on here, and contacting honda, we can help raise awareness to the federal safety agency and honda to issue a recall, so no more people have to stress, worry, or be in a life threatening situation from the airbag system!!!!
Tacata recall I purchased the 1st and probably only new car that I will ever own. I went with honda because I thought that they would be very reliable. Imagine my dismay when I.get notice re:auto air bag malfunction. I am now scared to transport my grandson. I am scared for my own safety. Please consider the fact that I am now stuck with my defective auto, for the rest of my life. No comfort in taking my family anywhere.

This card advised me to go to the website to find out if my honda civic was part of this settlement. And whether I should go to the honda dealer to check if I needed my airbags repaired. When I went to this website it didn't tell me anything. It didn't tell me if my car was involved in the settlement or if I needed to have my airbags repaired.

Takata recall check air bag system comes on intermittently
Faulty takata airbags
I have a 2013 honda civic. I bought is a certified pre-owned from broadway honda, greenville, sc. It went well for a year thought the one year warranty with zero problems. But once the warranty was over problems started to show up every other month. During the harsh winter of march one day the battery went dead at a walmart parking. I called my friend and jump started it and it was fine. Next day I went to the honda service and did a diagnostic. They said the battery is only 30%. In 4 years with 53k miles the battery went bad and I replaced it. And did a oil change and nys inspection. 15 days went well. Suddenly one day my air bag indicator started to blink with a message "check air bag system" on the screen. I took it to a friend's garage and he suspected it was a passenger side seat sensor that has an error. Very troubled I went to honda service again. They charged $130 just for scanning and diagnostics. They came back said the passenger seat airbag sensor went bad. I asked them how can something like a sensor go bad. Believe me I only use my car to go to office and errands. My wife sits at the back with my baby(infant). Very rarely the seat is used. I asked them how much would it cost and they said it will cost another $880 dollars to replace the sensor. I also want honda to know the problem as one can't pay so much to replace one sensor.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda civic. The contact stated that a warning indicator randomly kept flashing to check the air bag system. The vehicle was taken to the dealer at least three times, but they were unable to provide a solution. The contact felt as if they misdiagnosed providing a solution and required that brake repairs be completed before servicing the air bag system. The first repair from the dealer indicated that the ABS indicator was illuminated, but the contact stated that it was the air bag warning indicator. The dealer cleaned the rear brakes and adjusted the rear brakes during the first repair. During the second repair, the dealer replaced and resurfaced the front brake pads. The brake fluid exchange was serviced as well. Two days after the repairs, the service air bags indicator illuminated again. The dealer was notified of the failure a third time and indicated that they would follow up, but the contact received no response. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was not available.
Takata recall. I am the original owner. No airbag has been scheduled and honda is not answering questions! Why?
Check airbag system warning light coming on and off intermittently, whether the vehicle is moving or not. Dealership tech unable to positively identify exact problem or component unless alarm stays on all the time. They could only provide best educated guess. They suspect cable reel is bad. Apparently, when the light is on, air bags apparently will not work. Unacceptable. Have previously owned 3 other civic 's, never had a single problem with the air bag system. Honda should have a better way to troubleshoot the system to definitively identify the specific defective component in the system. Warning light came on constantly yesterday after approx. A month, but residence is 400 miles from place of employment so it will be a couple days to get vehicle in to dealership to effect repairs. If the government is requiring these systems for safety, then as far as I am concerned they should never fail. Period. Any defect or problem with the system should be immediately corrected by the manufacturer at zero expense to the vehicle owner. I definitely do not feel as safe in the vehicle at the moment, and hope I don't get involved in an accident with this system not working. Just wanted to inform in case others may have experienced this same issue.
