Both the side airbag and front airbag lights on the dashboard are on, and the mechanic I go to has no clue why the warning lights are on. I am concerned about my safety in the event of a crash, as I don-??t know if they will deploy, or fail.

I bought it at Kelly Nissan on 248 E in Easton, Pa with 117,880 miles. It has 123,000 miles on it now. There were no other indicator lights on prior to this safety issue, air bag light indicator light coming on and it is still on at the present time, I need it fixed, because it has to be inspected by July 31, 2022, and I do not think it will pass Pa inspection.

Nothing has happened yet, but I am worried something will. The problems with the airbags on my car are beyond ridiculous at this point and something needs to be done. I am worried about my safety when driving my only car. The vehicle has already been recalled twice now and it seems that the airbag problems have still not been resolved. Honda is unable to fix the current issue until they have the parts, which could be a long time. I am either forced to get a new car or drive in a car that might have airbags that won't deploy in an accident. Is something going to be done about all the cars on the road with these problems.

The passenger side airbag inflator has been recalled. I can replace it free. But the replacement will be an act of futility because the SRS light is on, the sensor is probably broken, and if there is an accident the air bag won't go off. (I have not scheduled the pointless act.) I spoke to someone in complaints. If the SRS light is due to a sensor problem, replacement will cost another $1900. Dealers are privately owned and they charge what they charge. Never mind the fact that Honda makes the sensor and prices them high. That, in turn, forces dealers to charge a lot.

Takata recall - this is crazy...I first had to have the driver's side airbag recall done on my vehicle. Now years later I need to bring the car back in for the passenger side recall. Next it will be some other part. If something happens to my car with these airbags, I am not only going after Honda and takata, but the regulators. You all need to be making sure people are safe. Too many people are impacted by this. You all need to have the manufacturer do a complete inspection on anything pertaining to the airbags!

Takata recall. Honda came to my house to replace air bags and now the SRS light is on and Honda wants to charge me $982 because they said it is a computer problem.

I am driving Honda Civic 2003 model past 14+ years. I am single owner. I had an accident on 10/24/2018. I applied the brake when I saw traffic stopped but the seat belt not tighten. Because of this reason, my chest hit the steering. Also air bag didn't open. Good news is no fracture but my chest hitted steering really bad. Few years ago I went to the Honda service station they changed the seat belt but not remember the which seat belt they changed. Please do the inspection and do the needful help who ever still driving Honda Civic. Please feel free to call me at (xxxxx) if you have further questions.
