What owners say
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 honda ridgeline. After the vehicle was started, the air bag warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the driver side seat belt sensor failed and needed to be replaced. In addition, the technician stated that the seat belt failed to retract. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 166,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 honda ridgeline. The contact stated there was a gap on the front of the instrument panel causing water to seep into the instrument panel making the entire air bag system inoperable. The air bag lights continued to illuminate continuously. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who replaced the seat belt connector, the front air bag apron, the rear air bag apron, the air bag rear module and the entire computer system but the failure continued to recur for the past three years. The manufacturer gave him an extra warranty package but the failure continued. The failure mileage was 70,000 and the current mileage was 110,000.
On april 24,2007, I accidentally rear-ended a vehicle stopped at a stoplight. I sustained some moderate front end damage but it was not a serious accident. It is the operation of the SRS that I have tried to have honda explain. Neither the service manager, factory field service representative, nor the honda america customer service personnel have adequately answered my question as to whether my driver's airbag is functional. At the time of the accident, the driver's seat belt tensioner did lock and the passenger's side airbag did deploy although there was nothing in the passenger's seat. However, the driver's airbag did not deploy. Aside form the cost of replacing the unnecessarily deployed passenger airbag and the fact that the factory replacement part did not match my dashboard color, my major concern has been whether or not the driver's airbag was, or still is, functional. There are no error codes on the computer nor lights on the dashboard to indicate a problem. Answers to our questions to honda about this have not been adequate and long in coming. Aside from an actual crash test how can one be sure that an airbag is functional in light of the fact that it did not deploy when the passenger's airbag and the tensioner lock did deploy? When they snicker at my wife that," since no one was injured, everything must be functioning properly", I do not feel that I am being taken seriously. What is the federal safety agency experience regarding SRS operation?
Dt*: the contact stated while driving at 20 MPH on normal road conditions, the driver and passenger side airbags unwarrantly deployed. No accident was involved and no injuries were reported. The airbag warning light did not illuminate prior to the deployment. The dealer was contacted who determined the unwarranted deployment was due to mud located underneath the vehicle. Pictures were taken by the dealership.
