Check airbag system light comes
- New York, NY, USA
On Oct. 24 and 25, 2018, a message "airbag system" suddenly appeared on my dashboard. On Oct. 25, 2018, I took the car to robertson Honda were they determined there was something wrong with the airbag system. I was asked if my car was ever involved in an accident and I said no. He informed me that I would have to pay for fixing the problem because the warranty had already expired. When I protested, he said he would check with his supervisor and when he came back he said they would fix the problem but I would have to pay $90. I didn't tamper with the airbag system so Honda should absorb the costs, . I called Honda corporate office and was told that because my car was not on the list of recall, and the warranty had already expired, I would have to pay the said amount. Are they right?

- Santa Fe Springs., CA, USA
Takata recall. I purchased my car in 2015. Shortly after that the passenger airbag warning was on constantly. About a year ago the airbag warning came on for the driver side as well. (this is the date listed below) my car is warning me that I have no airbags. I've received "recall notices" in the mail and have called Honda a number of times concerning the recall. They said my car is not part of the recall. My car seems to be telling me a different story. It's too coincidental when other Honda Civics are having this problem and are part of a recall. Please check this out for me. If I ever get hurt in an accident due to "faulty" airbags I (or my family) will not just be writing and calling Honda about this. Please let me know. Thank you.

Check airbag system light on.

The airbag sign keeps popping on when I am driving. Then I will have to have my children lean to their left away from the doors in order for the airbag sing to go off. After a few minutes the airbag off sign will pop on. This happens frequently. The sign will pop on while I'm at a light, or driving on the highway, city streets, or turning.

Front end collision. 30 mph. Ran into stopped car ahead. Airbag did not deploy.
- Candler, NC, USA
Since the first week I bought my Honda dash screen read that "passanger airbag is off". I notified the workers at the Honda service department several times when I would get it serviced. They stated that it wasn't anything to be concerned about, sometimes that happens. It doesn't show up all the time but every now and then it'll pop up. I hope I won't ever have to find out if it is properly working in a car incident but it is a concern of mine if it were to happen that the airbag would not work. When it does occur it occurs when I'm driving.

- El Monte Ca, CA, USA
From the time I purchased the vehicle it's been showing the air bag light and the dealer stayed it's the sensors behind the seat that are defective. They replaced the sensors and continued happening didn't worry about it because car always passed state inspection. I went back to the dealer and the dealer stated it's the same problem and it's out of warranty.
