Once a month roughly while I'm driving my airbag light comes on the dash and reads "check airbag" I know this is wrong because nothing is wrong. If I pull over and shut my car off wait 30 secs then turn it back on the error message will turn off.

Airbag warning light comes on every now and then, checked with Honda many times but no recall. This issue started about 3 years ago when all the other Honda were getting air bag recall. Very concerning when passenger is in the car with me.

Check air bag light comes on randomly. Sometimes when go over speed bump, sometimes just driving on smooth road, or making a turn. No real pattern discovered yet. Started sometime ago but came on maybe once every 3-4 months. Now however it is occurring much more frequently almost daily. It has been rather hot and humid since occurrences started being more frequent not sure if that is coincidence or part of reason for the increase. Once car is turned off the light is gone till the next random occurrence. It has not turned on without the vehicle moving at this point.

Check airbag system light comes on and off randomly and almost daily. Honda is quoting $500-2000 to fix but my research has shown many complaints with lots spending a lot of money with no better results. Unacceptable for a car with just 68,000 miles. We as customers expect these safety issues to work as designed. Our life could depend on it. From my limited research this is a widespread, known issue with the 13 Honda Civic.
- Bristol, VA, USA
Car was involved in a roll over accident which included driver front side impact. Car went of the road into a ditch, went over the other side of the ditch flipping back on its 4 wheels. Impact on wheels was enough to knock wheels partial off the car with blown back window and cracked windshield. Neither the driver or passenger airbags were deployed. Side curtain airbags were deployed. Vehicle sustain total damage. Driver sustained life threatening injuries

Airbag warning light comes on and off at random times while driving. This seems to be a widespread complaint with 2013 Honda Civics and while there is no recall yet, there should be in my opinion.

"check airbag system" light comes on and off sporadically for no reason.

Takata recall possibility? my airbag sensor has been on for months. There has been no recall, yet I've read tons of the same complaint on the same vehicle. It says "check airbag system" immediately after starting the car. I don't know how there's not been a recall yet when the airbag thing is a serious issue and there are a lot of these complaints out there. Please advise.

The airbag check airbag system warning comes on periodically I had it repaired at a Honda dealer and three weeks later it came back on but went away. I am concerned because it cost me a lot of money to repair this the Honda dealer said it had nothing to do with airbags or recalls. But honestly this has everything in the world to do with the SRS system and should be something covered by the manufacturer.

Also wasn't able to select the steering, the speed control brakes and the wheels/tires. The car has completely shut off while driving going 60 on the highway. Since I've got this car it's been a huge pain and has been in the shop nearly the entire time I've had it. I'm currently making monthly payments on it and have had the car since 2017 and have put over $9,000 worth of work into it.. it finally has stopped working again I've been without a car for over a year because I can't continue to dump money into it. The ABS light and check engine have been on since I've got it and the tire pressure light has always been on since I've got it the airbag light blinks while driving randomly and the electrical has went out while driving as well all the lights and radio would completely go out while driving during the day this happened thank god because had it happened at night I wouldn't of been able to see the road. The car has had the battery replaced many times and the tires constantly loose threading and feels like the car steering is shaking while driving. The child safety restraint lights blink as well randomly as well with the airbag lights. My sterling wheel has completely locked up while driving unable to move it at all. This car has cost me loads of money and put me in such a bad place financially I wish I never got it.

When driving or parked the "check passenger airbag system" alert will pop up on the display. It will turn on randomly and then turns back off. I have had Honda run a diagnostic already and nothing was found, but it has continued to occur for two years

I am unsure if this is part of the takata recall, however using my vehicle's horn for the first time today, while in motion, since purchasing less than 30 days ago, my "check airbag system" sensor light came on along with the display message. I parked and turned the car off for about 10 mins. Warning message was gone but as I proceeded to drive, the light and message returned. Unfortunately, I bought the car at a third party dealer not Honda and they are not assuming any responsibility or at least try to help fix my issue. This is such a safety hazard, especially in such automobile.

Purchased Honda certified used Civic in 9/2016, check airbag system light started coming on randomly around 2/2017 while vehicle was stationary and driving. Light would come on multiple times a day, or sometimes only once every few weeks. Have taken the car to two different Honda dealers (including the one it was purchased from) multiple times and dealer is unable to solve issue. Charging system sensor and cable reel have both been replaced, but light continues to randomly come on. Dealer is denying any responsibility and continues to use their 'computer flow chart' to try and diagnose with no success. This is a major safety issue and Honda needs to issue recall and take responsibility. Multiple reports have been filed!

The 'check airbag' light comes on all the time when I seat or while driving. When I bought the car the paint was bubbly and had rust spots.
- Toney, AL, USA
Air bag system check came on while driving 35mph and it turned off once car was parked and turned off. Has not come on since. Passenger airbag off light does not light up when there is no one in passenger seat. Honda dealer ran test. Passenger was fine but something is wrong with driver side (ironically). I asked if recall was on for my car, it is not. Apparently I am not the only one with this safety issue and I don't want to pay $111 for just a system diagnostics test then another $300+ to get a replacement on a safety issue that I didn't cause. Please help!! I do have records of the service on 6/4/2018
