My son was driving my car new years eve he was parked at a local donut shop and decided to move the vehicle to another spot. As he was backing out the rear window was not fully defrosted and he hit another parked car. He was doing less then 10 miles an hour and my air bags deployed. Causing my car to be totaled due to the cost. I'm having it repaired as I do love my car but it should not have deployed at this low a speed. 3000 for air bags that I should have gotten a recall on and fixed it just wrong. I am the original owner of this vehicle.

On July 12, 2014 my husband (driver) and myself (passenger) were involved in a head on crash with my 2004 Honda Civic. Traveling at approx. 35 mph we hit a parked Dodge Ram truck head on. My husband suffered six fractured ribs. I had a black left eye, a severe concussion, a subarachnoid hemorrhage (bleed on the top of my brain), my top front teeth were embedded in my top lip and had a complicated vertical top lip laceration requiring stitches. Due to damage of my top lip I no longer have feeling at the location of the laceration or where my teeth were embedded in my top lip and was told I will not get it back. Due to the laceration I have a vertical scar from above center of my lip that goes to the inside of my lip. A couple months after our accident the airbag recall came out. We looked at photos of the inside of my Honda. Up until this time we could not figure out where my head/facial injuries came from. Looking at the photos you can see the airbag exploded. Thus it cut my face and caused me to go into the dashboard after exploding causing the severe concussion and subarachnoid hemorrhage. Had the airbag stay inflated as it should I would of not suffered the head/facial injuries. Some of which will now have the rest of my life....updated 01/06/15

Owned a 2004 Honda Civic car. The airbag light has been on for several weeks. Heard about the Honda air bag recall Nov. 2014. Honda says there is no air bag recall with this car yet?! this is malfunction is definitely not safe at all. Someone has to be responsible for people' lives.

The airbag light is on and will not turn off even after I brought it in for repair. It was off for about a week after the repair but went on again. Honda says there is no air bag recall with this car...I do not believe that this airbag is safe because of this malfunction.

I noticed my airbag or seatbelt light came on so I took it to a Honda facility to have it fixed. They did repair work but a week later the light came back on and will not go off. I've also had my driver side window electric replaced but am still having issues with the window rolling up when it rains. That is the only time I have issues with the driver side window.
