The federal safety agency recall 14v‑351, safety recall letter dated april 2015. I have called the local honda dealership (brannon honda - birmingham al) many times since april 2015 and every time they claim that honda has not sent them the parts to fix these death dealing air bags. Apparently, the federal safety agency is merely an afterthought to honda! How is one supposed to get the problem with these air bag systems corrected???
I called and registered for the airbag recall (honda's campaign number for this recall is jh2.) on 2/18/2015 and was told it will take 4 weeks for parts back order. I called princeton honda (609‑683‑0722 ext. 3327)on 3/16/2015 & 4/22/2015 left messages asking for the status of recall. No one called back or write back for the recall status. I have waited for 3 months instead of 4 weeks for this recall and no one can help me to get the status of this recall. Please help me!
I receive recall letter (jh2) but local honda don't have the parts till next month and told me the problem is mostly for hummed part of north america meaning don't worry about it and they can not give me loaner. Honda motor co. Told me to call local honda dealer for faster service otherwise due to heavy calls they will get to me sometimes next week. Please help.
This information is regarding the already existing air bag recall by honda. I received a recall notice in the mail today (april 15, 2015) and called my local dealer for an appointment. The earliest appointment was july 10, 2015. Because this is a safety recall notice, I called honda customer service and inquired as to why a safety issue recall would take nearly 3 months to remedy. I was told that most patrons are waiting longer than that and he ([xxx]) was surprised that I actually got a specific appointment. He said there is a supply backlog of replacement air bags. I replied that with a safety issue such as this, and given the resources of honda motor co., they should do whatever is necessary to expedite the process. Are customers supposed to drive their vehicles not knowing if a catastrophic occurrence could happen at any time? My question for the federal safety agency is are you aware of this repair delay and have you demanded that honda expedite the process? Thank you.

2006 honda ridgeline. Consumer received recall notice, but has yet to hear back from the dealership regarding an appointment to have vehicle repaired.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 honda ridgeline. The contact stated that the service engine sensor, vtm sensor, ESC sensor, and the air bag sensor intermittently illuminated and flashed. The failure worsened and all four sensors remained illuminated while the vehicle was in motion. In addition, the all wheel drive was not functioning properly. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer who reset the code. When the three failure codes came back, it was diagnosed that one of the three banks needed to be replaced for the catalytic converter on the front driver side. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was not included in the federal safety agency campaign numbers: 14v700000 (air bags), 14v353000 (air bags), and 14v351000 (air bags). The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 173,000.
Honda is only recalling my make and model in certain geographical areas due to their perception of the humidity in those areas. The humidity in maryland where I live in the summer can be just as bad as georgia's. They should be recalling my vehicle in maryland just as they are in other states. Please make them recall my vehicle. Thank you.
I have contacted honda via the 800 number and the local dealer to get the airbag replaced but they say the car is not covered because it is not registered in a humid southern state (it is registered in virginia, which actually has very hot and humid summers). I told them that I frequently travel to the south and asked for the data and science on how much exposure causes the screws in the airbag to rust and become dangerous - they have nothing to provide but "an estimate." I want my airbag replaced under the recall which is supposed to cover all 2006 ridgelines. I am not comfortable driving the vehicle now, knowing that a number of the faulty airbag deployments and injuries actually took place outside the states covered by the recall. I have also notified my attorney of my concern and my attempts to get help from honda.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 honda ridgeline. The contact was in the emergency lane when a vehicle traveling in the opposite direction crashed into his vehicle head on. The driver and passenger side air bags did not deploy. The vehicle was destroyed. The driver was injured and transported to the hospital. A police report was filed. The dealer nor manufacturer were notified. The failure and current mileage was 68,000.
I was involve on an accident where the other car failed to yield at a stop sign and t-bone my honda ridgeline truck. Side airbag never deployed. I was going around 35-40 MPH and in my opinion he was going at least 25-30mph. Called honda and said that they do not have any recall for this problem. They should.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 honda ridgeline. The contact stated that while driving approximately 60 MPH, she was involved in a t-bone type of crash with another vehicle. The passenger air bag deployed but the driver side air bag did not. The vehicle was damaged on the front driver's side. The contact was injured and transported to the hospital via ambulance. A police report was available. The vehicle was towed by the manufacturer to a collision center. The dealer advised the air bags deployed exactly as they were designed to. The contact's insurance company disputed the claim. The failure and current mileages were approximately 125,000.
2006 honda ridgeline 55-60 MPH impact to my drivers side front end my drivers side airbags did deployed but passenger did causing injuries during the crash. I'm very concerned why the airbags did not deploy on the side of impact, the driver side. This leaves me rather curious over finding an explanation as to what happened? What will you need to know to determine whether this may be a trend or flaw in the safety of the new ridgeline or some other reasonable explanation?
5 car crash in anchorage alaska. I was driver of 2006 honda ridgeline. I was in the middle, two cars behind and two cars in front. I was rear-ended and then rear-ended the car in front of me. There was approximately $14,000 worth of damage to my vehicle. I was sitting at a complete stop, in morning traffic, at a red light. My airbag deployed on the passenger side, but my front-driver airbag failed to deploy. The on-scene police officers could not believe that the airbag did not deploy. The fire department was there, made me get out from behind the wheel & move to the passenger seat because they felt the airbag should have deployed, felt it was defective & were afraid it would deploy while sitting there. I contacted honda products department and filed a complaint, where I was told that "airbags" are not that important. I requested that someone from honda come and look at the sensor & airbag while the vehicle was being fixed. They declined. I contacted the local honda dealership & they stated they could not send someone out to look at it and provided the number where I was told it was not important. I suffered back injuries (herniated disc), left shoulder, left knee, severe whiplash. I have had a caudel steroid injection into my lumbar area and dealing with severe headaches. My autobody repair person tried to get honda to look at the vehicle because he felt it was defective and it should have deployed upon impact as the passenger side did. Honda refused to look at the vehicle, the auto adjuster of the liable insured paid for a new sensor, but they refused to replaced the airbag, which I believe to be defective. The adjuster actually thought the airbag should have deployed, but since honda refused to acknowledge a problem (because they could not take the time to look), I feel that I am left with a defective airbag.
Traveling at 65 MPH in early morning hours before daylight, I hit a cow that was standing on the side of the road. The impact was severe enough to stop my trucks engine and the emergency lights would not work. The radiator was punctured by the engine. The impact was at the right frt. Headlamp. There was enough impact that the fender peeled all the way back to the frt. Door. The windshield shattered but stayed in place. The hood peeled back all the way and rested on the windshield and roof. The my passenger air bag deployed but not the drivers side. The side air bags did not deploy even after the cow hit off both side doors. Hard enough to not allow the rear door to open.
2006 honda ridgeline air bag failed to deploy. Customer states that he was in an accident and the driver side air bag failed to deploy but the passenger air bag did deploy.
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?
I was involved in a front end collision. I was the only occupant. The passenger side air bag deployed, and the drivers side did not.
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.
Raining, traveling north, far right lane on very busy street in los angeles (sepulveda) when a car traveling south turned left. We did head-on impact into the side of his car. His airbag deployed - ours did not - but the most concern is that the front passenger-side seat belt malfunctioned thus allowing the impact to throw me forward and on the impact striking my head on windshield or visor and both knees and lower legs on dash; then thrown back into seat resulting in wrenched back and neck, knocking air out of me. The seat belt was locked into an extra-large position when car stopped. The driver-side seat belt had no problems and driver was not injured.
My brand new, honda ridgeline provided a less-than impressive performance. With a 45 MPH impact to my front end - driver side, and door, my seat belt kept me from serious injury. Not the airbag, since the only one that deployed was the passenger side! Yes, the police, paramedic's, accident investigators and tow truck driver were all were curious about my ridgeline and were very concerned that the airbags did not deploy on the side of impact, the driver side. Having 2 children, six and two years old, it is imperative that I have a vehicle that is considered as the safest in its class. I have been left with significant concern over any other unexpected problems that the honda ridgeline may reveal. This leaves me rather curious over finding an explanation as to what happened? What will you need to know to determine whether this may be a trend or flaw in the safety of the new ridgeline or some other reasonable explanation?
