The left passenger seatbelt will not retract - supposed to be a lifetime warranty and as a result airbag indicator light is on, so I take it to the dealer and they tell me seatbelts are on back order and they said it could be months or even years before I get a seatbelt and there is no ETA for it to arrive. So now, I have to drive the vehicle with no seatbelt and non-working airbags risking tickets or worse loss of life. This is unacceptable. What is the point of a lifetime warranty.

The 2006 Honda Accord VP Sedan was hit in an intersection by a Van that was trying to speed through a red light. The van hit the Accord on the front of the car, which spun the Accord causing it to hit the van again in the rear passenger side. The Accord has 6 airbags, but none of them went off. It appears that the front airbags should have went off, and possibly the passenger side airbags. I contacted Honda about the issue, but they insisted that I follow the direction that the insurance company determined.

The passenger air bag indicator light stays illuminated. The car has been taken to several different mechanics who temporarily are able to make the light go away but that say that this is an issue they have seen with different 2006 Honda Accords and the it is a defective factory sensor. Tony Honda in Oahu HI has said that because they do not show a recall for this vehicle, it would be an out of pocket cost. It seems that this is a safety issue because it is unsure whether there is a problem with the airbag itself and not just the sensor. Please advise

While exiting a grocery store parking lot the honda accord 2006 air bags malfunctioned and deployed. The honda accord 2006 'did not' strike a vehicle, a vehicle 'did not' strike the honda accord 2006, the honda accord 2006 'did not' strike any object in the parking lot, no object in the parking lot caused any friction with the honda accord 2006 to make the air bags deploy. After reviewing the damages which occurred from the deployment of the air bags; the driver's air bag is hanging out, the passenger's air bag is hanging out, the dome lights have been knocked down from the ceiling, the wind shield has 4 cracks in it. At this time myself and the passenger are noticing a ringing in our ears. I myself have a tiny split in my lower lip. When the incident took place an individual came to the honda accord 2006 to ask if things were ok. The individual states, "I heard a pop!! So I came to check things out." Today is 4/3/2022, the incident took place around 3pm. With today being sunday honda is closed. No call was able to be made to ask questions or file a report.

I filed a recall claim with american Honda. The case number is 11536174. This was for a recall on the airbags. Also, there was a recall on the transmission. The transmission stalls and decelerates when getting above 25 RPM. American Honda said this issue was a recall but appeared to be "fixed" a few years ago. But since this is an ongoing problem, I was assured it would be fixed. Jason, at the service department told me it would be "taken care of" but then, tried to bill me $150 for "diagnostic" fees plus then told the parts and labor would be an additional $800.we were given a rental car. About an hour an 20 minutes after dropping off the car, we were called to say the car was ready. Absolutely nothing was done. The glove compartment was still locked. They would have had to unlock it to make the airbag repair. American Honda told me the entire canister in the air bag area had to be replaced as well as new air bags installed. Misltin Honda screwed us! they also said these 2 repairs would take 6 hours. They fraudulenly billed american Honda for 6 hours and did nothing! they were instructed to provide proof of the old parts to show anything was done! my car remains unsafe to drive, potentially causing the airbags to not deploy and the transmission to stall, causing a crash! I'd like my service to be taken care of by Honda in manteca, please. Mission also billed american Honda for our rental. There was also a recall on something to do with the gas pedal..a part or computer issue.

My passenger side airbags spontaneously deployed during my morning commute. There was no collision, no pothole, no bump, and no sudden stop. There was nothing out of the ordinary. The sudden explosion caused me to swerve into oncoming traffic on a bridge, but thankfully, no one was injured.

I took my car for the recall and now the airbag sensor light comes on and off and occasionally will stay on. I take it back to the same dealership who charged me $150 for diagnostic to say it's a short or something now in the same passenger air bag they installed. It will cost $300 to fix. Seems like others are having this issue so is this a scam? this needs to be corrected and I need a refund of the money I've paid.

My driver side air bag is already deployed. When I called my Honda dealership to schedule the passenger side, I asked if the driver side would also be done. The rep said that it would. When I got to the dealership, they tried to charge me $250 to have it done. I cannot afford this. The date of 05/01/2015 is a guess.
