My daughter was driving our Honda Civic 2003 and rear-ended a vehicle. The air bag did not deploy. The air bags had been serviced by a Honda dealership in 2014 due to the takata recall. This is an issue and I don't know why the air bag did not deploy. I can provide photo evidence, if requested. My daughter did have slight neck injury as a result. Updated 09/15/15 updated 12/08\17

My seatbelt/SRS light went came on and when I took it to the Honda dealership I was told that there is an issue with the SRS sensor but is not covered under any warranty. To me it seems like a safety issue that Honda does not cover the SRS sensor in the buckle. With this sensor going bad it could cause an issue with the airbag. My Honda has had multiple recalls on the airbag but nothing on the sensor. I believer Honda should cover this as a safety issue.
