I reported this to your office over the phone and received a complaint number, but I lost it. This may be a duplicate report. The dealer fixed the problem; he installed a new driver airbag inflater. But: The red SRS warning light still came on. I spoke to them and he said that the warning light served as a warning for several functions. He said that would cost me $ $150 to determine the cause; plus parts; plus installation. I did not think that was right. The red light should not service multiple functions. It should have been included in the recall at no charge. While driving, I still have that red SRS red warning light. Your opinion?

Takara recall. It was in motion down campwisdom rd in dallas tx 75249 heading towards cedar ridge rd. Last part I remember is stop sign by the nature school. I had just left my parents. Put my seat belt on at the stop sign I had forgot remembering at stop sign. Made a right turn on camp wisdom and just before passing power plant is last I remember. I looked down at the speedometer which read 35 mphtill it was like 3 hours later and everything just faded in and was in a car with my dad in passenger seat. When I became aware the next day I tried to remember what happened and I had out of body experience saw myself walking down the road just above it and what we depict as jesus pointing at me walking then I came to in car with my dad.went back to look at vehicle it hit a tree in front and the side. It was missing a tire from driver side rear. Air bags didn't deploy at all as should have. It was in the middle of a curve from what I can tell and tire popped off the rim. This was in 2013. No one was with me but one person witnessed it and during my unaware period let me use their phone to call my dad. They worked as receptionist at wycliffe linguistics center. I might be wrong on date but year is correct I can find out what day and month for sure later on because I had work done on it at motion auto my dad paid for it was a door windshield had to bend frame back as best as could I also sold this car later that year which I believe he junked it.

Tamara recall my son was killed in a car accident in his 2001 Honda Accord. His injuries were ruptured liver and spleen he was in emergency surgery for 6 hours before he passed away. The inside of his car wasn't damaged that much. It seems to me to sustain those injuries were probably the air bag didn't inflat properly.

NHTSA recall number: 15V-320 I recently purchased a 2001 Honda Accord that has an airbag from a 2002 Honda Accord. The 2001 model does not have the current Honda airbag recall but the 2002 model does. The VIN for the 2002 model is [xxx]. Honda refused to replace the recalled airbag. I fear for my safety as my airbag could potentially cause me injury. Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
