Takata recall. I have been the original owner of my 2013 Civic coupe, and have loved it since. However, within the past month, check airbag system light has come on, first time during the middle of me driving going straight forward and stayed on until I turned the car off. It continued to come on while driving, and eventually started coming on when I first started the car, stationary. It does not come on every single time, but comes on very very frequently. This is a huge safety concern and they need to recall the problem. I called to see how much Honda would charge to fix it, and they said $140 just to diagnose, and multiple reports of the parts costing up to $1300 to repair. This is ridiculous for someone to have to pay this amount for a car and a company that is supposed to be one of the most reliable and trusted brands on the market. The reason I chose a Honda Civic was because of the low rate of problems, and this is the hugest problem that can occur, a life threatening problem, very disappointed. There have been multiple reports of people getting in crashes and the airbag not going off, huge safety concern, and life threatening, even if the light does not come on. This should be a major red flag to anyone who owns a 2013 Honda Civic if the light has come on or not!! atleast 4 people have died from 2011 Hyundai sonata and 2013 Kia forte takata airbag problems reported earlier this week. This should be taken seriously immediately by Honda and NHTSA and looked into asap. Please share this information if you have a similar problem, know someone with a Honda Civic, or has occurred to someone you know. By writing complaints on here, and contacting Honda, we can help raise awareness to the NHTSA and Honda to issue a recall, so no more people have to stress, worry, or be in a life threatening situation from the airbag system!!!!

Tacata recall I purchased the 1st and probably only new car that I will ever own. I went with Honda because I thought that they would be very reliable. Imagine my dismay when I.get notice re:auto air bag malfunction. I am now scared to Transport my grandson. I am scared for my own safety. Please consider the fact that I am now stuck with my defective auto, for the rest of my life. No comfort in taking my family anywhere.

'takata recall' I received a letter by mail saying there is a class action settlement for the takata airbags. The 'check airbag system' warning light comes on randomly in my 2013 Honda Civic while stationary and in motion. Took to dealer and they can't figure out what is wrong or give me a straight answer. I went to the website provided, entered my VIN number but it said my car was not effected. There have been many more complaints for the 2013 Civic model for faulty airbags!! something is not right, this is a major safety issue and Honda needs to take care of it!!

Airbag system failure - a "check airbag system" warning alert appeared on the dashboard of my 2013 Honda Civic. I checked for recalls and finally took my car into my Honda dealer. The service advisor informed me that a "driver side door airbag sensor failed" and told me it can be fixed for $310 plus labor!!!

I was driving straight down a city street in boca raton, fl at about 40 mph when I heard a bang and looked to see that the side curtain and seat airbags of the passenger side of my car had deployed. My 15 year old son was sitting in the passenger seat at the time of impact. I was able to pull over into a turn lane to check my son for injuries and assess what had happened. The was no known cause for the deployment.

"takata recall" I received a card in mail sayingthat there was a class action settlement on the takata airbags. This card advised me to go to the website to find out if my Honda Civic was part of this settlement. And whether I should go to the Honda dealer to check if I needed my airbags repaired. When I went to this website it didn't tell me anything. It didn't tell me if my car was involved in the settlement or if I needed to have my airbags repaired. This website didn't even ask for my VIN number. I would appreciate someone informing me if I need to fix it O what I need to do. I took my 2013 Honda Civic to my dealer and he said is not necessary to check it or repair it. I really apreciate all your help in this safety issue. Thanks
