The contact owned a 2006 Honda Civic. The contact stated that while the husband was idling behind a bus, a second vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed crashed into the rear end of the vehicle. The impact of the rear-end crash pushed the vehicle into the rear of the bus causing severe damage to the vehicle's front end. During the crash, the air bags did not deploy and the seatbelts on both the driver's and front passenger's side had malfunctioned and did not properly secure the occupants. The driver sustained bruising of the chest and torso. The front passenger sustained a head injury. No medical treatment was immediately required. The vehicle was destroyed. A police report was taken at the scene and the vehicle was towed to a local service center. The cause of the failure was not determined. The manufacturer and local dealer were not contacted. The failure mileage was 170,000.

On Friday 8/12/22 at about 12PM, the drivers side airbag on my Honda Civic inadvertently deployed while driving west on Hwy 28 in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan (coords 46.310194, -85.627542). I was driving the speed limit (65 mph). The car did not collide with any object. I noticed the airbag light had come on before the incident, however, there were no service centers or Honda dealers within at least a hundred miles. My safety was put at risk by the sudden and unexpected deployment of the airbag. My left wrist and elbow were injured by the deployment along with laceration on my wrist. I have an appointment at the local Honda Dealer (Thelen Honda - Bay City, MI) on 9/2/22 at 9:30am to have the vehicle/airbag system inspected. Unfortunately, there are no earlier openings for service. A claim has been filed with my car insurance. They have not inspected the damage at this time and probably won't because they informed me my policy won't cover the damage.

This was a drive from NY to Boston. In Boston, I was driving about 45MPH, 1 mile before the last exit from HWY. Suddenly, the car is out of control, probably the brake system, making the car turning around until it hits the divider on the rear right side of the car. Both right-side passenger airbags were activated, but none inflated as expected. Luckily, we didn't hit any other cars. Three people in the car were safe, except I have muscle pain near the neck and shoulder.

COMPLAINT: SRS LIGHT ILLUMINATED - CAUSE 32-1-X (X=0-9/A-F) OPEN OR INCREASED RESISTANCE IN THE RIGHT SIDE AIRBAG INFLATOR. REPAIR IS NOT COVERED BY HONDA BECAUSE "RIGHT SIDE AIRBAG INFLATOR (IN THE SEAT, NOT THE DASH) NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY EXTENSION" - REPAIR ESTIMATE QUOTED AT "AROUND $1,200" AT THIS POINT, THE ONLY ISSUE IS THE LIGHT IS ON.

I WAS TOLD MY CAR NEEDS AN INFLATOR BUT THAT IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER RECALL. WHY DOES THIS CAR HAVE AN AIRBAG ISSUE THAT IS NOT COVERED? 802 HONDA, IN MONTPELIER VT HAS REPLACED THE DRIVERS SEAT BELT BUCKLE TWICE AND EACH TIME THE AIRBAG LIGHT GOES OUT BUT NOW THEY SAY IT NEEDS A RIGHT SIDE AIRBAG INFLATOR IN THE SEAT WHICH IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL AND THEY GAVE ME A REPAIR ESTIMATE (RANGE) OF $1,000 TO $1,500. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD THEREFORE BE COVERED BY RECALL. ADDITIONALLY, THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE VISORS WHICH FALL INTO THE LINE OF SIGHT WHEN DRIVING AS A RESULT OF SPLITTING APART WHICH SHOULD ALSO BE COVERED BUT THERE WAS AN EXPIRATION ON THAT RECALL. THE SAFETY ISSUE IS THE SAME REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE CAR IS SIX YEARS OLD OR 16 AND REGARDLESS OF THE MILEAGE SO THIS TOO SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER.

TAKATA RECALL: I HAVE HAD AN AIRBAG LIGHT ON SEVERAL TIMES. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP IT IS AN INFLATOR CODE AND I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR A $1,200 REPAIR. ON TWO OCCASIONS THE SEATBELT WAS REPLACED. SOMEDAYS MY LIGHT IS ON, OTHERS IT IS NOT. THERE IS A RECALL AND THERE IS A TECHNICAL BULLETIN BUT MY CAR IS "NOT IMPACTED" THAT IS UNTRUE. IT ABSOLUTELY IS. THE VEHICLE IS PRESENTING THE SAME CODES AS THOSE IN THESE BULLETINS AND RECALLS AND IT SHOULD BE REPAIRED AT HONDA'S EXPENSE, NOT MINE. FURTHERMORE, THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR IS BROKEN BUT IT WAS NOT REPAIRED BEFORE THE END DATE OF THE RECALL (I DID NOT OWN IT THEN) AND NOW THAT I OWN IT I AM TOLD IT IS NOT ELIGIBLE. I CONTEST, THE ISSUE IS AS MUCH OF A SAFETY ISSUE FOR MYSELF AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD IN 2018 AS IT WAS WHEN IT WAS ISSUED. THIS TOO SHOULDE BE REPLACED AT HONDA'S EXPENXE NOT MY OWN. THE AIRBAG LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF AT WILL WHEN MOVING, ON CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY, TURNING OR GOING STRAIGHT. THE SUN VISOR DOES NOT GO OUT OF MY LINE OF SIGHT AS A RESULT OF THE FAILURE. THIS TOO HAPPENS ANYTIME, ANY WHERE, AT ANY SPEED, AND ON ANY ROAD.
