2005 Honda Accord Airbags Problems

Your driver-side airbag deployed on its own while you were driving 60 mph, causing you to swerve left and crash into a guardrail. You had recently received a recall notice about airbags for your vehicle. The airbag deployment was unexpected and unrelated to any crash impact, and an unknown warning light was on at the time. The issue will likely require the airbag system to be diagnosed and tested by a dealer to identify why it deployed unexpectedly, and the airbag module may need to be replaced.

Your daughter was in a serious car accident where the side airbags and seat airbags deployed, but the steering wheel airbag did not open. Multiple professionals at the scene noted this seemed unusual. While she was fortunately not seriously injured, this raises concerns about whether the airbag system functioned as designed. The issue may require a diagnostic scan of the airbag control module and inspection of the steering wheel airbag assembly to determine why it failed to deploy.

Your front airbag warning light stays on while you're driving, even though the airbag has been replaced twice over the past four years. This means your airbag system isn't being recognized as working properly by your car's computer. The fix will likely involve diagnosing the airbag control module, wiring, or sensors to find out why the system keeps triggering the warning light.

Your 2005 Honda Accord was included in a recall (Campaign 15V320000) for air bag issues, but your dealer refused to perform the recall work without giving you a reason. You've been waiting an unreasonable amount of time for the repair to be scheduled. The manufacturer wasn't notified of the dealer's refusal. The recall repair will likely involve inspecting and potentially replacing air bag components or control modules.

Your airbag warning light turned on while you were driving. The manufacturer told you there's no recall for your vehicle, and the problem wasn't diagnosed or repaired. This needs to be checked by a Honda dealer or mechanic to find out what's triggering the warning and ensure your airbags will work properly in a crash.

Your passenger airbag warning light intermittently turns on and off. This suggests a potential issue with the airbag system that needs diagnosis. A technician will need to scan your vehicle's airbag control module to identify the specific problem.

Your air bag warning light stays on continuously. Your Honda dealer identified that your driver's side seat belt wire harness needs to be replaced, which costs $235 out of pocket. There's a safety recall (Service Bulletin 07-002) for this exact harness replacement, but the dealer says it doesn't apply to your vehicle—even though you believe your car has the same issue as the recall.

BOLSA DE AIRE

HI. I GOT AN ACCIDENT ABOUT 3 WEEK AGO. MY VEHICLE WAS DAMAGED AT FRONT OF BUMPER AND THE AIRBAG DRIVER SIDE IS PULL OUT, BUT THE COST IS TOO EXPENSIVE FOR REPAIR MY CAR. I DON'T HAVE THAT MUCH AT THE MOMENT. CAN YOU HELP ME? PLEASE

IT SAYS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG, BUT THE MECHANICS ARE SAYING THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE AIRBAG SYSTEM, BUT THEY CAN NOT GET THE AIRBAG LIGHT TO GO OFF.

DEALERSHIP FAILED TO PROPERLY INSTALL AIRBAG INFLATOR AFTER I RECIEVED A RECALL NOTICE. THEN PROCEEDED TO TELL ME THE SRS CODE THAT WAS SHOWING UP ON MY CAR AFTER INSTALLATION WAS THERE BEFORE SERVICE AND EVERYTHING WAS PROPERLY INSTALLED ON THEIR END.

MY AIRBAGS ARE OFF MY DOOR LOCK IS BROKE I TRIED TO LOCK THE CAR ONE DAY THE ALARM WENT OFF AND WHEN I TRIED TO PUT THE KEY IN THE DRIVER DOOR THE SPRING POPPED OUT SO I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO LOCK MY CAR . I PUT MY CAR IN THE SHOP AND ONCE I DID A FEW DAYS LATER THE MAINTENANCE REQUIRED LIGHT CAME ON.

WE BROUGHT THIS IN TO BOTH VERN EIDE HONDA, SIOUX FALLS, SD AND BROOKDALE HONDA, BROOKLYN PARK, MN. IT HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF THIS IS NOT THE ORIGINAL AIRBAG AND THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON THE CURRENT AIRBAG. SOMEHOW THIS INVESTIGATION BY BOTH DEALERSHIPS HAS NOT BEEN RECORDED IN THE SYSTEM. OUR UNDERSTANDING FROM BROOKDALE HONDA IS THAT PHOTOS OF THE INSTALLED AIRBAG WERE SENT TO HONDA CORPORATE AND NOTHING NEEDED TO BE DONE FURTHER. WE CONTINUE TO RECEIVE NOTIFICATIONS GOING SO FAR AS TO RECEIVE THEM FROM THE DVS. PLEASE ASSIST. THE NUMBER AND FREQUENCY OF NOTIFICATION IS BECOMING ANNOYING SINCE THE CARE HAS BEEN IN TWICE TO HONDA FOR RECTIFICATION OF THE AIRBAG.

AIRBAG DEPLOYED WHILE DRIVING AND CAUSED ACCIDENT. ACCORD REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE AIRBAG OF THIS VEHICLE WITH OFFER TO REMEDY HOWEVER HONDA TOLD ME THEY WILL NOT HONOR THE RECALL AFTER THE FACT BECAUSE THE BAG ALREADY DEPLOYED. 4/13/2017 ACCIDENT IS RECORDED ON ILLINOIS MOTORIST REPORT #209078 FILED IN COOK COUNTY VIA SCHAUMBURG POLICE DEPARTMENT REPORT# 17-07912. AIRBAG STILL HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED AS THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO ANOTHER SAFETY RECALL NOT BEING HONORED - (FUEL PUMP ISSUE CAUSING VEHICLE TO STALL WHILE DRIVING).

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS CUT OFF BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT REAR ENDED THE OTHER VEHICLE. THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL FOUR PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE SUSTAINED INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE DRIVER AND FRONT SEAT PASSENGER SUSTAINED WHIPLASH AND INJURIES TO THE NECK, BACK, AND LEG DUE TO THE SEAT BELT RESTRAINTS NOT OPERATING PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 297,371.

AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON. ITS BEEN 2 MONTHS NOW. I FEAR FOR MINE AND MY CHILD'S LIFE WHEN SEEING IT. APPARENTLY A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE MADE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS BUT I CAN'T FIND ANY SPECIFIC RECALLS FOR IT. HOW DO I GO ABOUT THIS?

I DONT KNOW IF MY VEHICLE HAVE A AIR BAG RECALL BECAUSE ITS SAYING 0 UNREPAIRED AND I'M CONFUSED IF I HAVE A RECALL OR NOT ON MY AIRBAG

AIR BAG LIGHT IS CURRENTLY ON. LIGHT STAYS ON, ON THE DASHBOARD OF VEHICLE

2005 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE FRONTAL AIRBAGS SAFETY RECALLS. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THERE HAVE BEEN TOO MANY RECALLS CONCERNING THE AIRBAGS. *JS

"TAKATA RECALL".....I PURCHASED THIS CAR 2 YEARS AGO AND THE SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT HAS ALWAYS BEEN LIT. I JUST HAD MY OIL CHANGED TODAY AND THE REPAIR SHOP ADVISED ME THAT THERE WAS AN ERROR CODE WHICH MEANS DEFECTIVE AIR BAG. ALSO THE DRIVER SEAT BELT BUCKLE SHOWED DEFECTIVE. YESTERDAY I RECEIVED 2 DIFFERENT EMAILS FROM NHTSA FOR 2 RECALLS (#19V499 AND #19V501). NO LETTER WAS RECEIVED FROM HONDA YET BUT I HATE TO WAIT FOR A LETTER TO ARRIVE AS THAT COULD TAKE 60 DAYS, THEN WOULD HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE DEALER TO GET THE PARTS AND THEN GET AN APPOINTMENT. THIS SITUATION IS LIFE-THREATENING. IS THERE ANY WAY TO SPEED THIS PROCESS UP? ALSO THE REPAIR SHOP STATED THAT A LOT OF THE AIR BAGS THAT HAVE BEEN REPLACED, ARE NOW BEING RECALLED.

"TAKATA RECALL" I HAVE HAD AN AIR BAG LIGHT ON FOR YEARS AND THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN DEPLOYED. EVERY TIME I CHECK FOR A RECALL AND MINE HAS NEVER HAD ONE, THEN WHY HAS MY AIRBAG LIGHT STAY ON?

THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON. THE DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE A RIDICULOUS AMOUNT OF MONEY TO "SEARCH EVERY WIRE ASSOCIATED" WITH THE AIR BAG SYSTEM. THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH 2005'S MANUFACTURED 7/20/2004-10/8/2004 AND THEY WERE RECALLED. APPARENTLY, THE PROBLEM WAS NEVER FIXED AND MULTIPLE VEHICLE OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THIS. WHY HAS THE RECALL NOT BEEN EXTENDED TO ALL 2005'S? I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY EVERY TIME I DRIVE. I CAN'T AFFORD THE REPAIR NOR CAN I JUST GO BUY A NEW CAR!

THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT IS COMING ON AND WE FEEL IT IS DEFECTIVE OR RELATED TO THE RECALL.

TAKATA RECALL: I PURCHASED FROM INDIVIDUAL KNOWING IT WAS A SALVAGE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, DID NOT KNOW THE AIR BAGS HAD BEEN REMOVED. WHILE IT IS COVERED BY RECENT RECALL HONDA AMERICA WILL NOT AUTHORIZE REPAIR DUE TO MISSING PARTS. UNSAFE CONDITION!

TAKATA RECALL. I TOOK MY HONDA TO LESTER RAINES HONDA IN WV FOR THE AIR BAG RECALL AND THEY SAID THEY FIXED IT. TWO DAYS AGO MY DAUGHTER HYDROPLANED ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY ART 10 NEAR HEARTS WV LET OFF THE GAS, TRIED TO BRAKE BUT LOST ALL CONTROL AND HIT A GUARD RAIL HEAD ON AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CAR IS TOTALED AND CURRENTLY AT ROBBIES WRECKER SERVICE TOW YARD AT BRANCHLAND WV

WHILE SLOWING DOWN ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, VEHICLE RAMMED INTO VEHICLE IN FRONT OF IT. ALL THE DAMAGE WAS TO THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVABLE AFTER THE COLLISION. DURING THE COLLISION THE PASSENGER AIR BAG DEPLOYED WHILE THE DRIVER'S AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. THERE WAS NO PASSENGER IN THE CAR.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS NO FAILURE EXPERIENCED WITH THE AIR BAGS UNTIL THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER AN UNKNOWN RECALL REGARDING THE AIR BAGS. FIRST TEAM HONDA (3444 WESTERN BRANCH BLVD, CHESAPEAKE, VA 23321, (757) 337-6597) PERFORMED THE RECALL REPAIR AND THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED THAT, SHORTLY AFTER THE REPAIR, THE AIR BAG INDICATOR KEPT FLASHING. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THE INDICATOR WOULD TURN OFF, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE CONTACT FELT THAT THE RECALL REMEDY CAUSED A FAILURE THAT WAS NOT EXPERIENCED PRIOR TO THE REPAIR. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE DIAGNOSED AGAIN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL. MY DAUGHTER'S 2005 HONDA HYBRID'S AIRBAG INFLATORS HAVE NEVER BEEN REPLACED. WHEN I TYPE IN THE CAR'S VIN, NO OUTSTANDING ISSUES ARE LISTED. HOWEVER, WHEN I TYPE IN "2005 HONDA ACCORD HYBRID" AT THIS SITE, ISSUES WITH THE AIRBAGS ARE LISTED. WHY THE DISCREPANCY? WHY ARE AIRBAG ISSUES LISTED WHEN I TYPE IN THE YEAR MAKE AND MODEL, BUT NO ISSUES ARE LISTED WHEN I TYPE IN THE VIN? SHOULD I BE ABLE TO SEE WHEN THE ISSUES WERE PRESUMABLY CORRECTED?

THE SRS INDICATOR LIGHT COMES ON WHEN THE ENGINE IS STARTED AND REMAINS ON UNTIL THE ENGINE IS TURNED OFF. AS LONG AS THE ENGINE IS RUNNING THE LIGHT REMAINS ON WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY, OR BEING DRIVEN.

THE AIR BAG DASH LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY. THE LIGHT WILL COME ON AND GO OFF RANDOMLY. STAYS ON FOR DAYS THEN WILL GO OFF FOR DAYS. MY CONCERN IS ABOUT SAFETY. WILL THE AIR BAG NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION WHILE THE LIGHT IS ON?

TAKATA RECALL. MY 2005 HONDA ACCORD AIRBAG/SRS LIGHT HAS BEEN CONTINUOUSLY STAYING OFF AND ON.

WHILE OPERATING VEHICLE AN ICON APPEARES ON THE DASH INDICATING A PROBLEM WITH THE AIR BAG SYSTEM. MY AIR BAGS HAVE NEVER BEEN DEPLOYED. THIS ICON REMAINS LIT ALL THE TIME THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN.

FRONT AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT HAS COME ON. ADDITIONALLY, THE SEAT BELT LIGHT ON THE DASH NO LONGER ILLUMINATES. FORUM SEARCH SAYS THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT SENSOR IS MOST LIKELY FAILED.

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT IS INTERMITTENTLY ON. THE WARNING LIGHT EITHER REMAINS ON THE ENTIRE TIME THE ENGINE IS RUNNING, OR IT LIGHTS TEMPORARILY AT START UP AND THEN GOES OUT AS NORMAL.

I CALLED HONDA SERVICE CTR IN ESCONDIDO, CA TO ASK IF MY HONDA WAS AFFECTED/INCLUDED IN THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL AND WAS TOLD IT IS NOT.

"TAKATA RECALL" WHEN EVER I START ENGINE AND UNTIL I SWITCH OFF THE ENGINE, THE RED LIGHT FOR THE AIRBAG LIGHTS ON.

THE AIRBAG LINGT ALWAYS TURN ON SOMTIMES IN MOTION. SO I AM AFRAID OF MY HONDA CAR ,WHEN I AM DRIVING IT.

TAKATA RECALL. THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT STAYS ON. DEALER ACKNOWLEDGES THIS BUT THE VIN DOESN'T SHOW THE VEHICLE (2005 HONDA ACCORD HYBRID) COVERED UNDER THE RECALL.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ALWAY TURN ON HAD WHILE DRIVING,TURNS OFF SOMETIMES WHEN TURNING ON STREETS BUT THEN IT TURN BACK ON

I HAVE 2005 HONDA ACCORD WHICH IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE TAKATA RECALL BUT I HAVE A AIRBAG LIGHT THAT GOES OFF AND ON. AS A RESULT, MY PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT LOCKED UP WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY SAID THAT THE ENGINE READ A CODE THAT SAID IT WAS INVOLVED IN REAR COLLISION AND IT WAS NOT. THEY ALSO STATED THAT THE SEAT BELT COULD HAVE LOCKED UP BECAUSE THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON. SOMEONE WAS SITTING IN THE SEAT AND HAD TO MANEUVER TO GET OUT OF IT. THE DEALERSHIP HAS TOLD ME IT WILL COST $800 AND UP TO REPAIR THE SEAT BELT (AND IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE LIFETIME WARRANTY FOR SEAT BELTS)BUT WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO HONDA THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS NOT ON AT THAT MOMENT SO THEY TOLD ME IT WAS NOTHING THEY CAN DO UNLESS IT WAS ON. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP ALSO TOLD ME THAT IF I HAVE A FAULTY AIRBAG THAT MY SEAT BELT MAY CONTINUE TO LOCK UP. I AM HESITANT TO FIX THE SEAT BELT BECAUSE OF THE AIRBAG SITUATION.

THE HONDA STATION SERVICE SAID THE AIR BAG DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY

TAKATA RECALL... I AM CONCERNED THAT MY 2005 HONDA ACCORD HYBRID WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE TAKATA RECALL... WHEN, IT SEEMS THAT ALL OTHER ACCORDS WERE RECALLED.

THE LIGHT HAS REMAINED ON EVER SINCE. RAN THIS VEHICLES VIN AND FOUND NO OPEN RECALLS. MY WIFE DRIVES THIS CAR AND IS VERY PETITE, I FEAR FOR HER SAFETY, AS WELL AS MY OWN AS WE BOTH USE THE CAR. NO HELP FROM DEALER.

"TAKATA RECALL" I WAS COMING TO A STOP FOR A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND DID NOT BRAKE IN TIME TO STOP MY VEHICLE BEFORE I TAPPED INTO THE REAR BUMPER OF AN SUV. I WAS GOING VERY SLOW /PROBABLY UNDER 10MPH. MY DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED AND I GOT CUTS ON MY ARM AND A CHEMICAL BURN AS WELL. MY DRIVERS SIDE SEATBELT IS NOT WORKING NOW (LOCKED.)

HAVE INFORMATION THAT THE AIR BAG AND SIDE AIR BAG MAY NOT BE WORKING PROPERLY ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND THE SHOULDER STRAP ON THE SAME SIDE DOESN'T RELEASE AS IT SHOULD. THANKS

I HAVE A 2005 HONDA ACCORD EX NAV THAT HAS PROBLEMS WITH THE SRS AIRBAG LIGHT STAYING ON. I'VE CONTACT HONDA ABOUT WHY MY CAR WAS NOT IN THE RECALL LIKE THE OTHER ACCORDS IN THE SAME YEAR MODEL. THEY CLAIM THERE ISN'T A PROBLEM. A SRS AIRBAG LIGHT THAT STAYS ON IS CLEARLY A PROBLEM THAT SEEMS TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE AIRBAG RECALL OF THE OTHER VEHICLES. I ASK THEM TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR BUT THEY REFUSED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WATER ENTERED INTO THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE NEAR THE CURTAIN AIR BAGS. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT PROVIDED NO REMEDY. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 15V320000 (AIR BAGS), 04V551000 (AIR BAGS), AND 16V178000 (AIR BAGS). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000.

MY AIRBAG INDICATOR WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AT ABOUT 195K MILES. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP ASKING IF THEY HAD A RECALL OPEN AND SAID THEY DID NOT. THEY THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS A SENSOR. NOW THAT I SEE THE REASON FOR THE LATEST RECALL, COVERING 2001-2003 WHOSE TAKATA AIRBAGS WE DECLARED AT RISK, PARTICULARLY IN HIGH HUMIDITY STATES. I CAN'T HELP BUT TO THINK THAT WITH ALL THE RECALLS BEFORE AND AFTER MY MODEL YEAR, COUPLED WITH MY AIRBAG LIGHT, THAT I AM DRIVING AROUND WITH A HIGH RISK OF MY AIRBAG DEPLOYING.

TAKATA RECALL UPON COMPLETION OF THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL THE VEHICLE IS CONTINUALLY HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE AIRBAG LIGHT BEING DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE IS AFFECTED. THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG OFF INDICATOR NO LONGER ILLUMINATES WHEN THE SEAT IS NOT OCCUPIED AS WELL. PRIOR TO THE RECALL THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS WITH THE AIRBAG LIGHTS FOR DRIVER OR PASSENGER. THE ABOVE ISSUE IS NOTED WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND STATIONARY WITH THE ENGINE ON.

"TAKATA RECALL" WE HAVE 2 HONDAS THAT HAD THE AIRBAGS REPLACED AS PART OF THE RECALL. SHORTLY AFTER THE AIRBAG WAS REPLACED THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON THE DASHBOARD OF BOTH VEHICLES. RT. 23 HONDA, POMPTON PLAINS, NJ DID THE REPLACEMENT. THEY WANT $300 FOR EACH VEHICLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM THAT THEY SAY IS NOT RELATED TO THE AIRBAG REPLACEMENT. IT SEEMS UNLIKELY THAT BOTH OF OUR CARS WOULD HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AFTER THE AIRBAG REPLACEMENT. I HAVE FILED SECOND REPORT SINCE 2 VIN NUMBERS ARE INVOLVED. I ALSO FILED A REPORT WITH HONDA. WE LAST SPOKE TO RT. 23 HONDA ABOUT THIS ON 4/21/2016.

TAKATA RECALL WHY HAS THERE BEEN NO RESPONSE, ACTION OF ANY KIND, OR EVEN ACKNOWLEGEMENT OF THE AIRBAG ISSUE WITH THIS SMALL (25,000 CARS) MODEL RUN DESCRIBED IN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS -- SEE COMPLAINT NUMBERS 10651654, 10652518, 10659813, 10717673, 10722366; AND TWO MORE RECENT ONES.

I WAS INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT. I WAS DRIVING A HONDA ACCORD 2005 AND WAS REAR ENDED BY A BMW X5. THERE SEEMED TO BE MINOR DAMAGE TO MY REAR BUMPER WITH NO COLLISION FROM THE FRONT. THE NEXT DAY, I STARTED MY CAR TURN ON THE AC AND LET THE CAR COOL DOWN. I STEPPED OUT OF THE CAR AND IN A FEW MINUTES THE DRIVER AIRBAG DEPLOYED. I TOOK THE CAR TO HONDA MOTOR SO THEY COULD FIND OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITHT THE CAR, BUT HONDA WANTS 115 DOLLARS TO MAKE A DIANOSTIC WHICH I THINK IS RIDICULOUS. PLEASE ADVICE, I'M DRIVING A CAR WITHOUT AIRBAGS THAT HONDA REFUSES TO EVEN LOOK AT UNLESS I PAY 115 DOLLARS.

AFTER TAKING MY 05 ACCORD IN FOR THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIRBAG RECALL AND HAVING THEM REPLACED, THE EMPLOYEE AT THE HONDA SERVICE CENTER TOLD ME THAT MY SRS LIGHT IS ON AND IT IS PROBABLY BECAUSE OF THE SENSOR FOR THE HARNESS. THIS LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON AND OFF FOR WELL OVER A YEAR, AND RECENTLY HAS JUST STAYED ON AT ALL TIMES. HE TOLD ME IT WOULD COST $130 JUST TO DIAGNOSE THIS PROBLEM, AND THEN THE COST OF FIXING IT, IF THIS IS INDEED WHAT IS CAUSING THE LIGHT TO STAY ON. MY VIN IS NOT PART OF THE HONDA RECALL FOR THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE, I BELIEVE HONDA SOMEHOW DID NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT ALL OF THE VINS THAT ARE EFFECTED BY THIS RECALL. I TALKED TO HONDA AND THEY ARE UNWILLING TO HELP AT ALL. I AM CURRENTLY PREGNANT AND A PETITE WOMAN, THE HIGHEST RISK FACTOR FOR THIS ISSUE IF THE AIRBAGS FAIL TO DEPLOY. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN HONDA. WILL BE CONTACTING MY ATTORNEY AFTER DIAGNOSIS IS MADE, ASSUMING DIAGNOSIS IS SPECIFICALLY THE SAME AS THE RECALL.

TAKATA RECALL- I CANNOT GET ANY ANSWERS FROM HONDA AT 1-888-234-2138 REGARDING WHY MY HONDA TAKATA HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. THEY PUT ME ON HOLD AND NEVER PICK UP AGAIN. IT'S A TOTAL RUN AROUND. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR ANYMORE OR LETTING ANYONE DRIVE IT KNOWING METAL PROJECTILES MAY BLIND ME OR PIERCE MY NECK.WHY IS THERE NOT A TOTAL RECALL OF TAKATA AIRBAGS IN HONDA'S?

TAKATA RECALL AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATES INTERMITTENTLY. STAYS ILLUMINATED WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. STAYS ILLUMINATED WHILE IGNITION IS ON, UNTIL SUBSEQUENT RESTART OF CAR. DEALER CLAIMS THEY HAVE NO INFORMATION AND DOESN'T KNOW IF IT IS PART OF TAKATA RECALL.

TAKATA RECALL LIGHT ON DASHBOARD

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2005 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE DRIVER WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE DRIVER CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED NECK AND BACK INJURIES AND THE DRIVER SUSTAINED SEVERE HEADACHES THAT DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,000.

TAKATA RECALL - TOOK CAR TO MARTIN MAIN LINE HONDA 8/4/15 PER RECALL NOTICE. PARTS NOT AVAILABLE. STILL WAITING BUT NERVOUS. HAVE TO DRIVE ON REGULAR BASIS.

THIS PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM DESCRIBED IN COMPLAINT NUMBERS 10651654, 10652518, 10659813, 10717673, AND 10722366. THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY COMES ON AND STAYS ON WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED. IT CONTINUES TO REMAIN ILLUMINATED INDEFINITELY WHILE THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING. HOWEVER, UPON RESTART IT LIGHTS BRIEFLY AND THEN GOES OFF, WHICH APPEARS TO BE NORMAL OPERATION. THE INTERMITTENT NATURE OF THE PROBLEM MEANS IT CAN'T BE DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED. HOWEVER, OUR CONCERN IS THAT THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS PROBLEM FIRST APPEARS ABOUT 2013 OR EARLY 2014 AND HAS CONTINUED TO OCCUR THEREAFTER. PLEASE NOTE THE STRIKINGLY HIGH NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS OF THIS ISSUE FOR THIS MODEL. FIVE OF THE FIFTEEN COMPLAINTS DEAL WITH EXACT ISSUE, AND TWO OTHER COMPLAINTS (10567527 AND 10567640) REPORT THE FAILURE OF THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY IN ACCIDENTS IN WHICH THEY CERTAINLY SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. THUS ALMOST HALF OF THE COMPLAINTS DEAL WITH AIRBAG OPERATION FAILURE. NOTE ALSO THAT THIS IS ON A RELATIVELY LOW-VOLUME MODEL. ONLY ABOUT 25,000 HONDA ACCORD HYBRID 2005 WERE SOLD IN THE US. UNLIKE MOST 2005 HONDA ACCORDS, THIS MODEL (THE HYBRID) WAS MANUFACTURED IN JAPAN, NOT THE US, AND THUS HAS MANY DIFFERENT PART SUPPLIERS. I ALSO NOTICE THAT THIS MODEL IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE TAKATA RECALL, DESPITE THE FACT THAT IT APPARENTLY HAS A TAKATA AIRBAG SYSTEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 15V370000 (AIR BAGS) AND 15V320000 (AIR BAGS).

I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS DECISION BY HONDA NOT TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AS THERE ARE NEWS REPORTS OF INJURY TO A PASSENGER FROM A TAKATA PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG IN 2013.

BECAUSE OF THIS OVERSIGHT, IT APPEARS I HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL. I CALLED HONDA TO CONFIRM IF THE FAULTY PART IS IN MY VEHICLE, AND HONDA REFUSES TO TELL ME. I HAVE BEEN TOLD "I AM NOT PART OF THE RECALL BECAUSE I AM NOT ON THE LIST". BUT IF I HAVE THE PART, AND SINCE MY CAR HAS BEEN IN A RECALL STATE, I SHOULD BE INCLUDED. IT IS A TOTAL LACK OF COORDINATION AND RECORD KEEPING. THEY REFUSE TO LISTEN AND REFUSE TO ASSIST. I HAVE WARNED THEM I AM PREGNANT WITH TWINS AND NEED TO GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED FOR SAFETY PURPOSES, BUT THEY REFUSE TO LISTEN.

AIR BAG RECALL. *TR

MY 16 YEAR OLD SON WAS DRIVING TO SCHOOL ON THE HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE SPEED WAS APPROXIMATELY 65. FOR NO REASON AT ALL, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS EXPLODED CAUSING A QUICK REACTION UNDER EXTREME FEAR. HONDA HAS BEEN NOTIFIED BUT THE LOCAL DEALER "SOUTHPOINT HONDA" HAS BEEN RUDE & ACCUSATORY THAT HONDA IS NOT AT FAULT. THE HONDA RECALL FOR AIRBAGS IS EXPANDING, YET NO HELP. HIS CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND IS PARKED. FOR A SINGLE FATHER THIS IS CAUSING GREAT HARDSHIP, NOT TO MENTION THE INJURY THAT MIGHT OF OCCURRED TO MY ONLY CHILD! THE EXCUSES ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE!!!! *TR

I THINK THE POINT OF FILED COMPLAINTS SHOULD NOT ONLY BE REFLECTIVE BUT PROACTIVE. THAT WAY, HOPEFULLY, BOTH THE FEDS AND THE MANUFACTURERS CAN GET AHEAD OF ISSUES BEFORE THEY COME TRAGIC AND/OR COSTLIER. THAT BEING SAID, I CURRENTLY DRIVE A 2005 HONDA ACCORD WHICH IS ON THE RECALL LIST REGARDING THE TAKATA AIR BAG FLAW. THERE IS NO RECALL THOUGH, SIMPLY BECAUSE MY CAR WAS NOT REGISTERED IN ONE OF THE 'HUMID STATES' THIS IS RIDICULOUS. I SUSPECT IT IS A CALCULATED PLOY TO ALLOW TAKATA TO TRIAGE THE MOST PRESSING RECALLS FIRST AND THEN OPEN THE RECALL. THIS IS UNDERSTANDABLE, BUT IF THIS IS THE CASE, IT SHOULD BE COMMUNICATED TO THE PUBLIC INSTEAD OF MAKING US FEEL A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY WITH A POTENTIALLY DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. WHEN WILL ALL 2005 HONDA ACCORDS RECEIVE THE BLESSING TO BE RECALLED??? [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I HAVE SEEN THE RECALLS FOR TAKATA AIR BAGS DUE TO INJURIES AND DEATHS ONCE DEPLOYED OF WHICH MY MODEL CAR IS ON THE LIST OF RECALLED VEHICLES. HOWEVER, I DO NOT LIVE IN ONE OF THE STATES THAT IS ON THE RECALL LIST, SO MY VIN IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION ON THE ISSUE, I FOUND AN ARTICLE ON THIS WEBSITE, HTTP://WWW.NHTSA.GOV/ABOUT+NHTSA/PRESS+RELEASES/VEHICLE-OWNERS-WITH-DEFECTIVE-AIRBAGS-URGED-TO-TAKE-IMMEDIATE-ACTION, WITH A QUOTE, "RESPONDING TO THESE RECALLS, WHETHER OLD OR NEW, IS ESSENTIAL TO PERSONAL SAFETY AND IT WILL HELP AID OUR ONGOING INVESTIGATION INTO TAKATA AIRBAGS AND WHAT APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM RELATED TO EXTENDED EXPOSURE TO CONSISTENTLY HIGH HUMIDITY AND TEMPERATURES. HOWEVER, WE'RE LEAVING NO STONE UNTURNED IN OUR AGGRESSIVE PURSUIT TO TRACK DOWN THE FULL GEOGRAPHIC SCOPE OF THIS ISSUE," SAID NHTSA DEPUTY ADMINISTRATOR [XXX] ." SINCE IT BASICALLY STATES THAT HUMIDITY AND TEMPERATURE ARE THE CAUSES OF THE FAILURES, I DID AN ONLINE RESEARCH FOR THE AVERAGE HUMIDITY LEVELS WITHIN MY STATE ONLY TO FIND THEM IN LINE WITH THE STATES THAT ARE ON THE RECALL LIST. I FURTHER RESEARCHED THE AVG HUMIDITY LEVELS AND TEMPS OF ALL 50 STATES TO FIND THAT THE HUMIDITY LEVELS OF THE STATES ON THE RECALL LIST ARE LOWER THAN ABOUT 26 OTHER STATES. TO VALIDATE MY FINDINGS, I LOOKED UP THE SAME INFORMATION ON SEVERAL UNRELATED WEBSITES. ONE INTERESTING NOTE, THE AVG. HUMIDITY IN CA (NOT MY STATE) IS HIGHER THAN THESE STATES AND AVG. TEMP. IS ONLY 3 DIFFERENT THAN SC. BASED OFF OF MY INITIAL FINDINGS, I FEEL THAT WHOMEVER IS DETERMINING WHICH VEHICLES SHOULD BE RECALLED SHOULD BE MORE CLEAR ON HOW THEY DETERMINE WHICH VEHICLES ARE SELECTED FOR RECALL. I AM NOW VERY NERVOUS ABOUT DRIVING MY CAR AND WILL CONSIDER REPLACEMENT IN THE NEAR FUTURE. SINCE THIS PROBLEM IS LINKED TO DEATHS, I WANT CLARITY ON THIS INFORMATION ASAP.

MY COMPLAINT IS BASED ON THE RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY POSED BY THE POTENTIALLY FAULTY AIRBAGS IN ALL 2005 HONDA ACCORDS. NHTSA IS PERMITTING HONDA TO USE MY NYS RESIDENCY AS REASON TO EXCLUDE MY CAR FROM THE RECALL LIST. THE ASSERTION THAT CERTAIN CARS MAY BE MORE AT RISK FOR FAILURE BASED ON GEOGRAPHIC REGIONS MAY OR MAY NOT BE A RATIONAL BASIS FOR PRIORITIZING A SERVICE LIST. IT SHOULD NOT, HOWEVER, BE THE CRITERIA FOR DETERMINING WHICH CARS ARE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. BY APPROVING THIS PARTIAL RECALL LIST, NHTSA IS PROTECTING HONDA AND TAKATA. AS LONG AS MY CAR IS EXCLUDED, HONDA IS NOT LEGALLY RESPONSIBLE. HONDA WAS NOT REQUIRED TO NOTIFY ME OF THE POTENTIAL DANGER, AND I WAS UNAWARE BEFORE NOW OF THE RISK. HONDA ALSO AVOIDS PAYING THE COST OF ANY ACTION TAKEN TO MINIMIZE THE RISK, SUCH AS HAVING THE AIRBAGS DISABLED. NHTSA'S ACTIONS ARE SERVING THE INTERESTS OF HONDA RATHER THAT THE AMERICA PUBLIC. *TR

THIS CAR MUST BE USED FOR A ROAD TEST NEXT WEEK AND I MUST NOW PAY OUT OF POCKET TO GET THE ICON OFF PERMANENTLY AND THE PROBLEM FIXED, AS WELL AS HAVE THE AIR BAGS REPLACED TO ENSURE THEY ARE GOOD.

MY DAUGHTER REAR ENDED ANOTHER CAR AT VERY LOW SPEED CAUSING MINIMAL DAMAGE TO THE FRONT BUMPER AND A SLIGHT DENT IN THE HOOD.

THERE IS NO DENYING THAT MY DAUGHTER WAS AT FAULT IN THE ACCIDENT BUT HER INJURIES AND THE EXCESSIVE DAMAGE (THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN WAS BLOWN APART) WERE ONLY DUE TO HONDA'S FAULTY AIRBAG AND SAFETY DESIGN FOR WHICH THEY SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. ....

ALL OF THIS KIND OF MODEL SHOULD BE AFFECTED BY THIS AIRBAG PROBLEM. AS PER MOTOR TREND THE RECALL DATE WAS JAN. 03, 2007. AND MOST AFFECTED IS 2005 HONDA ACCORD. PLEASE HELP ME THIS IS NOT SAFETY ANYMORE. *TR

AIRBAG LIGHT WOULD COME ON AFTER CAR WARMS UP INTERMITTANTLY, AND STAYS ON PERMANENTLY ON COLDER DAYS IT TAKES LONGER TO TURN ON BUT EVENTUALLY IT WILL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 52 MPH, THE FRONT AND REAR AIR BAGS INADVERTENTLY DEPLOYED WITH NO IMPACT TO THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, THE PASSENGER'S SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED. THE INTERIOR ROOF COVERING ALSO BECAME DETACHED AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS BUT WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 226,000.

I TOOK MY HONDA IN FOR A POWER STEERING RECALL THAT WAS ISSUED AND ASKED THE HONDA DEALERSHIP TO LOOK INTO THE REASON WHY THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT WAS ON. THEY CALLED ME BACK AND SAID THERE WERE TWO FAULT CODES ONE BEING THE DRIVER SEATBELT BUCKLE AND THE OTHER BEING THE DRIVERS SEAT POSITION SENSOR. I KNOW THERE IS ALREADY A RECALL ON THE DRIVER SEAT POSITION SENSOR BUT THEY SAID THAT MY VEHICLE'S VIN WAS NOT AFFECTED BY THE RECALL. THEREFORE, IN ORDER TO FIX THIS SENSOR I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO REPAIR THE PART. I CALLED HONDA AMERICA AND THEY ALSO TOLD ME IT WAS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO REPAIR THE PART SINCE MY VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE A VIN AFFECTED BY THE DRIVER SEAT POSITION SENSOR RECALL. I FIND THIS ODD THAT MY VEHICLE IS OF A MAKE MODEL AND YEAR WITH A KNOWN DEFECTIVE PART BUT YET IT IS NOT INVOLVED IN THE RECALL. I FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED FURTHER TO SEE IF THERE ARE MORE MODELS THAT ARE AFFECTED BY THE DRIVERS SEAT POSITION SENSOR FOR THE AIR BAG. *TT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE ABNORMALLY ACCELERATED AND CRASHED INTO THE CONTACT'S HOME. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY.

AIR BAG FAULTY LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF RANDOMLY. ALTHOUGH THERE IS A MASSIVE 2005 ACCORD AIRBAG MODULE RECALL BASED ON THE NHTSA INVESTIGATION 07V001000. THE 2005 ACCORD HYBRID IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. THERE SEEMS TO HAVE QUITE A FEW 2005 HYBRID OWNERS HAD ALREADY FILE THE SIMILAR COMPLAINT. (UNDER THE PROBLEM WITH THE SEAT SECTION) AIRBAG MALFUNCTION IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM, HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM BEHAVIOR IS RANDOM AND MAJORITY OF THE CUSTOMER MAY SEES IT AS "GLITCH" SINCE IT MAY GO AWAY BY TURNING THE KEY ON AND OFF AGAIN. *TR

HONDA ACCORD 2005 SEEMS LIKE HAS FAULTY MECHANICAL ON THE BRAKE. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE DOWNWARD THE HILL AND MY BRAKE DID NOT STOP. I WAS SUSPICIOUS NOW THAT MY CAR HAS FAULTY MECHANICAL BRAKE BECAUSE ABOUT LESS THAN 2 YEARS AGO WHERE MY CAR HAS PROBLEM DID NOT BRAKE PROPERLY ON THE FREEWAY. THEN, I REPLACED MY BRAKE LESS THAN 2 YEARS AGO AT HONDA DEALER. THE LAST TIME MY CAR MAINTENANCE WAS APRIL 2013 AND THEY STATED THE BRAKES ARE STILL GOOD. *TR

OUR HONDA ACCORD WAS CROSSING A 4-LANE STREET FROM A STOP SIGN. A CAR COMING FROM THE RIGHT STRUCK THE PASSENGER SIDE OF OUR HONDA, CAUSING THE SIDE AIR BAGS TO DEPLOY. HOWEVER, THE SIDE AIR BAGS DID NOT INFLATE, CAUSING THE PASSENGER TO RECEIVE BRUISES AND ABRASIONS. NOTE: ALTHOUGH THIS HONDA ACCORD WAS A 2005, IT HAD LOW MILEAGE (30,000) AND WAS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE. THE INSURANCE CO. TOTALED THE CAR. *TR

I'VE NOTICED A FAULTINESS WITH THE AIRBAG LIGHT INDICATOR/SENSOR. AFTER THE ENGINE IS STARTED, THE LIGHT STAYS ON AND CONTINUES TO STAY ON UNTIL I RESTART THE ENGINE, AT WHICH TIME THE LIGHT MAY OR MAY NOT TURN OFF. THIS HAPPENS WHETHER THERE IS A PASSENGER PRESENT IN THE PASSENGER'S SEAT OR NOT. THE LIGHT FAULTINESS HAPPENS AT RANDOM. THOUGH MANY MODELS OF HONDA ACCORDS HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER A RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUE, HONDA IS TELLING ME MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED. THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT CAN AFFECT THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT, CAUSING FULL-FORCE DEPLOYMENT REGARDLESS OF SEAT POSITION. *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON A MONDAY NIGHT, I HAD MY PHONE IN THE FRONT SEAT WITH ME AND I HAD HEARD IT GO OFF A FEW MOMENTS EARLIER. I LOOKED OVER QUICKLY AT THE PHONE TO SEE WHO IT WAS,I QUICKLY LOOKED BACK AT THE ROAD, I WAS NOT ABLE TO STOP QUICK ENOUGH AND I HIT THE YOUNG LADY IN FROM OF ME. I WAS GOING ABOUT 40 MPH WHEN I HIT HER AND THERE IS SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO MY CAR. WHAT REALLY PUZZLED ME WAS THAT MY AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY, EVEN WITH AN IMPACT AS BIG AS THIS ONE. I HAVE SUSTAINED A FEW INJURIES BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF AIR BAG. *TR

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000. *TR

WHILE WAITING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, I ADJUSTED MY DRIVER SIDE POWER SEAT AND SAW THE AIR BAG SENSOR LIGHT TURN ON AT THE SAME MOMENT. I WAS NOT INVOLVED IN ANY ACCIDENT OF ANY KIND. I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE SENSOR FAILED AND IT WOULD COST 660.00 TO REPLACE. APPARENTLY THIS SENSOR CONTROLS ALL THE FRONT AIRBAGS WITHOUT WHICH THEY WILL NOT DEPLOY. I WOULD LIKE TO ADD THIS SAFETY COMPLAINT TO THE DATA BASE IN CASE OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT WAS STOPPED IN TRAFFIC WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE.

I WAS DRIVING LIKE ANY OTHER DAY ON THE FREEWAY AND MY PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYED FOR NO APPARENT REASON- THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT AT ALL. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO ONE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. AFTER CONTACTING HONDA THEY SAID THEY WOULD SEND A REPRESENTATIVE TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO CHECK TO TAKE CARE OF THE REPAIR BUT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP IN EL CERRITO CA DID NOT WANT TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR AND WANTED TO CHARGE FULL AMOUNT TO FIX IT SAYING THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I NEEDED MY CAR SOON FOR MY TRANSPORTATION SO I WENT TO MY TRUSTED MECHANIC TO REPAIR THE AIRBAG AND HE INFORMED ME IT WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE BECUASE THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG COULD DEPLOY AT ANYTIME WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH OR INJURY OR FATALITY. I WOULD APPRECIATE A FULL REFUND FROM HONDA FOR COST OF THE REPAIR AS IT CAME OUT TO BE $3,374.68. THIS COST IS VERY HIGH AND I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS SAFETY MALFUNCTION. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND I AM VERY UPSET THAT HONDA DOES NOT WANT TO FIX WHAT COULD HAVE POSSIBLY CAUSED A PERSON HARM. THANK YOU *TR UPDATED 09/05/12*LJ UPDATED 09/10/2012 *JS

WAS DRIVING ALONG ON HIGHWAY WHEN BOOM!!! THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS JUST DEPLOYED ON THEIR OWN. IT CAUSED ME TO SWERVE AND ALMOST CRASH AT 80 MPH. MY PASSENGER LUCKILY SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES. THERE WAS NO REASON OR WARNING FOR THESE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY! *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOING ABOUT 35 MPH AND OUT OF NO WHERE I HEAR THIS BIG POP! THE SIDE AIRBAGS ON THE DRIVER SIDE AND IN THE BACK HAD DEPLOYED. NO ONE HIT ME NOR DID I RUN OVER ANYTHING IN THE STREET.THERE WAS NO TYPE OF IMPACT. THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON. I REPORTED IT TO HONDA DEALERSHIP AS SOON AS I GOT HOME. THEY ASK ME TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN THE NEXT DAY. THE DEALER SHIP AND HONDA AMERICA INSPECTED THE VEHICLE THEIR DETERMINATION WAS THAT THERE WAS UNDERBODY DAMAGE. I COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT THEY SHOWED ME. IT WAS A SCRATCH, LIKE SOMEONE TOOK A SCREWDRIVER OR SOMETHING AND SCRATCHED THE VEHICLE. THIS WAS THERE REASON FOR DEPLOYMENT. LONG STORY SHORT THEY WOULD NOT FIX THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THEY FELT IT WASN'T THEIR FAULT. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH HONDA AND HOW THIS WAS HANDLED. HONDA STATES THEY ARE SO BIG ON SAFETY FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS BUT YET THEY WILL NOT FIX VEHICLES THAT HAVE DEFECTIVE PARTS THAT SHOULD BE ON A RECALL LIST, AND NOW I HAVE A VEHICLE WITH NO SIDE AIRBAGS AND NO SEAT BELT. WHERE IS THE SAFETY CONCERN?? WHAT IF THIS WOULD HAVE CAUSE AND ACCIDENT WHERE SOME ONE WAS INJURY, MY YOUNGEST DAUGHTER WAS IN THE CAR WITH ME WHEN THIS AIRBAG DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON. THANK GOD IT DIDN'T CAUSE ME TO HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. I HAVE DONE MY OWN RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS SAME INCIDENT HAS HAPPENED TO SEVERAL OTHER CUSTOMERS.

THE SEAT POSITION SENSOR (SPS) WIRING HARNESS IN MY 2005 HONDA ACCORD IS BROKEN CAUSING THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT TO BE ILLUMINATED AND THE SPS TO FAIL. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS SYMPTOM IS IDENTICAL TO THAT ADDRESSED BY RECALL NUMBER: 07V001000, WHICH APPLIED TO CERTAIN 2004 AND 2005 HONDA ACCORDS. HOWEVER, MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE HONDA RECALL. I BELIEVE THAT THE OMISSION OF MY 2005 HONDA ACCORD'S VIN FROM RECALL NUMBER 07V001000 IS IN ERROR AND SHOULD BE CORRECTED. THE HONDA DEALER CHANGED AN INITIAL $95.07 FOR DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM, AND HAS OFFERED TO INSTALL A NEW WIRING HARNESS AT MY EXPENSE. AT THIS TIME NO ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN.

AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT ON 2005 HONDA ACCORD CAME ON FOR NO REASON. HONDA CHARGED ME $110 TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND SAID THE DRIVER SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG WAS MALFUNCTIONING. THEY SAID IT WAS $985 TO REPLACE AND THAT AIRBAGS WERE NOT COVERED UNDER THE LIFETIME WARRANTY LIKE SEATBELTS WERE. DEALERSHIP SUGGESTED I SPEAK WITH HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE BECAUSE THEY TOO WERE SURPRISED IT WASN'T COVERED. HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE SAID THERE WAS NO WAY THEY WOULD PAY FOR IT. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT BECAUSE THE INDICATOR LIGHT REMAINS ON, THAT MY CAR WOULD PROBABLY NOT PASS STATE INSPECTION.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON MY 2005 HONDA ACCORD. TOOK TO DEALER WHO SAID IT WAS THE DRIVER SEAT MODULE AND WOULD COST $300. CHECKED PREVIOUS HONDA RECALLS AND THE SAME COMPLAINT WAS RECALLED FOR 81000 CARS BUT MINE WASN'T LISTED (RECALL 07V001000 THERE ARE A FEW OTHER COMPLAINTS INDICATING THE SAME PROBLEM AND AS THIS IS AN IMPORTANT SAFETY ISSUE, PERHAPS HONDA SHOULD EXTEND ITS RECALL TO INCLUDE MY VEHICLE.

THE SEAT BELTS IN THE 2005 HONDA ACCORD HYBRID PROVIDED NO SAFETY IN A COLLISION. THE AIRBAGS ALSO FAILED TO DEPLOY IN THE SAME COLLISION. I WAS THE PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT OF A 2005 HONDA ACCORD HYBRID WHEN WE REAR ENDED A VOLVO S-80. THE VOLVO THEN STRUCK AN ALTIMA. THE ACCORD STRUCK THE VOLVO WITH CONSIDERABLE FORCE. THE VOLVO'S TRUNK WAS DAMAGED AND WOULD NOT OPEN. THE STRUCTURAL BAR IN THE ACCORD PROTECTING THE RADIATOR WAS ALSO BEND BEYOND REPAIR. I HAD THE PASSENGER SEAT AS FAR BACK AS IT WOULD GO AND WAS WEARING MY SEAT BELT. DURING THE COLLISION MY KNEES STRUCK THE FRONT DASH AND SWELLED. THE DRIVER ALSO SUFFERED SEVERE KNEE PAIN MOSTLY LIKELY FROM STRIKING HER KNEES AGAINST THE DASH OR STEERING COLUMN. I BELIEVE THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. EVEN IF THE BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY THEN THE SEAT BELTS SHOULD HAVE HELD. THE SEAT BELTS IN THE 2005 HONDA ACCORD HYBRID PROVIDED NO SAFETY IN A COLLISION.

I PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE ON APRIL 28TH 2008. THE CARFAX REPORT HAD AN ACCIDENT INDICATOR BY THE SECOND OWNER, BUT DID NOT MENTION WHAT TYPE OF ACCIDENT IN TERMS OF MODERATE, MINOR, NO DAMAGE, ETC. THIS REPORT WAS PRINTED MARCH 24TH 2008. WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ON, AND WHEN DRIVING; IT STILL STAYED ON AND I TOLD ATLANTA USED CAR DEALERSHIP, WHO TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP TO LOOK AT IT AND STATED THAT ITS PROBABLY A GLITCH. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE HONDA CAR DEALERSHIP TO INSPECT. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP FOUND THE SRS CONTROL UNIT AND THE PASSENGER SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG FAULTY. AS STATED ON MY CUSTOMER INVOICE FROM GWINNETT PLACE HONDA, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG APPEARED TO BE CUT OUT. CARFAX DID NOT REPORT THAT THERE IS A DEFICIENT AIRBAG. ANOTHER INCIDENT FOUND IS THAT THE ACCELERATOR OCCASIONALLY STICK WHEN TRYING TO DEPRESS. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP FOUND THERE WAS A CARBON BUILD UP AND IT NEEDED SERVICE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE RIGHT OUTER TIE ROD END, WHICH IS ON THE RIGHT PASSENGER WHERE THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED. THE DEALER STATED IT WAS UNSAFE FOR ME TO DRIVE WITHOUT REPLACING THE TIE ROD, WHICH WAS SERVICED AND THEY ALSO PERFORMED A 4 WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND TEST DRIVE BEFORE I LEFT. MY EXPERIENCE HAS LED ME TO TAKE THE INITIATIVE TO COMMUNICATE WITH MY ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE, AND OTHER CONSUMER PROTECTION AGENCIES TO REPORT THIS INCIDENT. SINCERELY, OLUTOMILOLA AIYETIWA *TR

I CURRENTLY OWN A 2005 HONDA. I JUST RECENTLY HAD A PROBLEM WITH IT THAT REALLY HAS ME CONCERNED. FROM WHAT I'M TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER AT ONE HONDA DEALERSHIP THE WIRING HARNESS UNDER THE DRIVERSIDE SEAT WAS TOO SHORT AND BROKE. THE SRS (SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM) LIGHT WENT ON INDICATING A PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. THIS APPARENTLY DETECTS WHEN SOMEONE IS LEANING TO FAR FOWARD IN THE SEAT AND WOULD PREVENT THE AIRBAG DEPLOYING AND INJURING THEM. THIS DISABLED THE AIRBAG IN MY CAR. NO AIRBAG. NO PROTECTION. THE WIRING HARNESS WAS REPLACED AS WELL AS THE SENSOR ASSEMBLY. THIS FIXED THE PROBLEM. I AM REPORTING THIS BECAUSE THE 2004 HONDA ACCORDS HAD A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE AN 05 AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. THIS IS A PROBLEM HONDA SHOULD FIX IMMEDIATLEY. I'M TOLD THE 05'S HAVE NO RECALLS. I WANT TO BE PROTECTED IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. HONDA NEEDS TO FIX THIS IN ALL THE 05'S. THE SRS WIRING HARNESS SHOULD NOT BE SO DELICATE OR SHORT THAT IT CAN BREAK JUST FROM MOVING YOUR SEAT BACK AND FORTH.

WHILE MY SON WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE, A 2005 HONDA ACCORD EX-L, HE WAS INVOLVED IN A HEAD-ON CRASH IN WHICH HE WAS INJURED AND THE VEHICLE RECEIVED HEAVY DAMAGE. MY SON WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL DUE TO CERVICAL SPINE, LUMBAR AND CHEST INJURY. THE VEHICLE HAD STRUCK ANOTHER VEHICLE AT A SPEED OF ABOUT 35 MPH AND THE AIRBAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. ON THE DASHBOARD THE AIRBAG SIGN DID LIGHT ON, HOWEVER, NO AIRBAG HAD DEPLOYED. THE SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER HAD FRIED SINCE THE SEAT BELT WAS LOCKED AND WAS NOT RETRACTING IN ADDITION, THE SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER HAD FRIES. I HAD CONTACTED HONDA NORTH AMERICA, AND THEY REPORTED THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE BEHAVED AS IT WAS SUPPOSE TO. HOWEVER, AFTER CONTACTING NHTSA, THE REPRESENTATIVE STATED WITH A 2005 HONDA ACCORD, IF THE SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER FIRES, THE AIRBAG SHOULD FIRE SIMULTANEOUSLY, WHO THEN SUGGESTED ME TO SUBMIT A CLAIM TO NHTSA. THE VEHICLE DID UNDERGO REPAIR AUTHORIZED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THE SEAT BELT WAS REPLACED IN ADDITION TO THE AIRBAG MODULE AND OTHER ASSOCIATED ITEMS. HOWEVER, THE OLD ITEMS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. *JB

I WAS TRAVELING WEST BOUND ON WEST 84TH STREET IN HIALEAH,FLORIDA. A VEHICLE MADE A LEFT TURN FAILING TO YIELD THE RIGHT OF WAY AND CRASHED WITH ME.

I DIDN'T CRASH, I DID NOT COME IN CONTACT WITH ANYTHING THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THIS. THANK GOD I DID NOT HAVE ANY INJURIES OTHER THAN A PAIN ON MY LEFT ARM DUE TO THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIR BAG LOCATED ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE DRIVER SEAT AND A SLIGHT PAIN ON MY LOWER BACK I THINK DUE TO THE SEAT BELT PULLING ME BACK SO HARD AS THE AIR BAGS WERE BEING EPLOYED. *JB

A HEAD ON COLLISION RESULTED IN AN AIRBAG MALFUNCTION. THE AIRBAG EXPLODED AND DISCHARGED METAL FRAGMENTS CAUSING INJURY TO THE DRIVER. THE AIRBAG WAS REPLACED WHEN CAR WAS REPAIRED. *JB

UPON IMPACT, ,BOTH FRONTAL AIRBAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY AND THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT DID NOT RESTRAIN HER PROPERLY. THE SEAT BELT ALLOWED HER TO COLLIDE WITH THE STEERING WHEEL AND CAUSED MINOR BRUISES. THE FRONTAL COLLISION CAUSED FRAME DAMAGE TO VEHICLE. A POLICE REPORT TAKEN AT THE SCENE. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT A COLLISION CENTER BEING INSPECTED. *AK

DT: THE CONTACT STATED AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE HE BEGAN TO NOTICE CRACKS IN THE STEERING WHEEL ABOVE THE AIR BAGS. HE CONTACTED HONDA AND SPOKE WITH A REPRESENTATIVE. THE REPRESENTATIVE HAD SOMEONE ELSE TO CALL HIM BACK. THE REPRESENTATIVE TOLD HIM THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS HIS FAULT BECAUSE OF THE WAY HE WAS PRESSING THE HORN. BOTH TIMES THE AIRBAG WERE REPLACED BY THE DEALERSHIP UNDER WARRANTY. HE WENT TO A BODY SHOP AND SAW TWO OTHER VEHICLES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM ,AND THEY TOLD HIM IF THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED THEN IT COULD CAUSE INJURY TO HIM.*AK UPDATED 12/27/05. *JB

DT: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING THE PASSENGER CURTAIN AND SEAT AIR BAG DEPLOYED. THE HOUSING FOR THE AIR BAG ON THE DOOR WAS DAMAGED. THE CONTACT DID NOT RUN OVER ANYTHING RECENTLY. SHE BACKED INTO A CURB DAYS AGO, BUT THE STREET SHE WAS DRIVING ON YESTERDAY HAS NO CURBS. THE INSURANCE COMPANY INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND STATED THAT HITTING THE CURB DAYS AGO COULD NOT HAVE CAUSED IT, BUT ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP , IT DID. THE MANUFACTURER WAS RELYING SOLELY ON THE DEALER'S EVALUATION. THE VEHICLE IS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP AND HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. *AK

WHILE DRIVING HOME ON INTERSTATE 285 IN TRAFFIC I HEARD A LOUD POP IN MY LEFT EAR AND MY SEAT BELT TIGHTENED TO AN UNBEARABLE TIGHTNESS. MY CAR FILLED WITH A POWDERY LIKE SUBSTANCE AND THAT'S WHEN I REALIZED THAT MY SIDE CURTAIN AND SEAT AIRBAGS HAD DEPLOYED. THERE WAS NOTHING IN THE HIGHWAY THAT I COULD HAVE HIT. MY CAR WAS DRIVABLE AND I PULLED OVER TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANY DAMAGE. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE SO I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND TOOK IT IN. THEY DID A VISUAL INSPECTION AND COULD FIND NO REASON WHY THE AIR BAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. THEY SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO KEEP THE CAR OVER NIGHT SO THAT THEY COULD LOOK AT IT MORE CLOSELY. THE NEXT DAY I CALLED TO CHECK THE STATUS OF MY CAR AND AT THAT TIME I WAS INFORMED THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY DAMAGE TO MY CAR BUT THEY NEEDED TO CONTINUE LOOKING. 15 MINUTES LATER I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL STATING THAT THEY HAD FOUND A SMALL SCRATCH ON THE BOTTOM OF MY CAR AND THAT WAS THE CAUSE OF MY AIRBAGS DEPLOYING. I AM INSISTING THAT I DID NOT HIT ANYTHING BECAUSE THE HIGHWAY WAS CLEAR AT THE TIME. AM I GETTING THE RUN AROUND FROM HONDA? IS THIS NORMAL? *JB

MY WRISTS WERE SEVERELY BURNED FROM A STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. I WAS HIT HEAD-ON. MY VEHICLE WAS STOPPED. *NM

WE PURCHASED A NEW 2005 HONDA ACCORD EX-L (4 CYL) ON JULY 31, 2005. 3 WEEKS INTO OWNERSHIP, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN NORMALLY AT THE TIME. WE FOLLOWED THE OWNER'S MANUAL INSTRUCTIONS AND RETURNED TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE ON 8/19/2005 (BANKSTON HONDA IN LEWISVILLE, TX). THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT RAN A COMPUTER TEST ON THE CAR AND CONFIRMED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG WAS NOT RECEIVING A SIGNAL, AND IN FACT WOULD NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. IN SHORT, THE AIRBAG WAS NON-FUNCTIONAL. THE DEALER HAD THE CAR UNTIL TODAY, 8/24/2005. THEIR FIX WAS TO "CLEAR THE CODE" AND MAKE THE LIGHT GO OFF. THEY CLAIM THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM, AND WANTED TO RETURN THE CAR TO US. NO PARTS WERE REPLACED. THE LIGHT SIMPLY TURNED OFF AND THEY CONSIDER THAT "FIXED" I SUPPOSE. I INSISTED ON AN EXPLANATION, SINCE THIS IS A CRITICAL SAFETY ITEM. WE WERE TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT IN HONDA ACCORDS, THE AIRBAG'S FUNCTIONALITY CAN BE COMPROMISED BY A CELL PHONE BEING IN THE CAR! IF THIS IS THE CASE, THE CARS SHOULD BE RECALLED! THERE'S EVEN A SPECIAL POWER JACK BETWEEN THE FRONT SEATS FOR CELL PHONES. THERE'S NO TELLING HOW MANY HONDA DRIVERS ARE IN DANGER IF WHAT THE DEALER TOLD ME IS THE CASE. HOW CAN A CAR MANUFACTURER AND DEALER KNOWINGLY SELL A VEHICLE WHOSE PRIMARY SAFETY FEATURE DEACTIVATES BECAUSE THE OWNER IS CARRYING A CELL PHONE? WE LEFT THE DEALER WITH OUR CAR (8/24/05). ABOUT 2 MILES DOWN THE ROAD THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. WE IMMEDIATELY RETURNED TO THE DEALER. THEY HAVE THE CAR AGAIN AND ARE GOING TO CALL "HONDA TECH" FOR ADVICE. I AM THOROUGHLY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS VEHICLE AND AM ANGRY THAT WE AND THOUSANDS OF OTHER ACCORD DRIVERS COULD BE AT RISK OF INJURY/DEATH BECAUSE OF A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT HASN'T BEEN ANNOUNCED BY THE MFG AND REMEDIED. I DON'T WANT THE CAR ANYMORE BECAUSE I DON'T BELIEVE IT'S SAFE. I WANT MY MONEY BACK.

DT: THE CONSUMER WAS DRIVING A 2005 HONDA ACCORD HYBRID. AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH CONSUMER'S VEHICLE HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE AND ENDED UP IN A DITCH. THERE WAS FRONT DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. UPON IMPACT, THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE OTHER VEHICLE WAS HIT WITH THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT END. THE HIGHWAY PATROLMAN ON THE SCENE STATED THAT THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED, AND IT HAS NOT YET BEEN INSPECTED. CONSUMER SUSTAINED SEVERE WHIPLASH. THERE WAS A POLICE REPORT TAKEN. THE OTHER DRIVER WAS CHARGED WITH FAILURE TO YIELD RIGHT OF WAY. THE OTHER VEHICLE, 2000 VOLKSWAGEN, WAS TOTALED. THERE WERE SIX AIRBAGS ON THIS VEHICLE AND NONE OF THEM DEPLOYED. *AK *TT

DT: CONSUMER STATES HER VEHICLE COLLIDED WITH A TRUCK CABIN THAT WAS LEFT ABANDONED ON FREEWAY 280 IN PALO ALTO, CA. THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH. THE VEHICLE SPUN SEVERAL TIMES AND SIDE SWIPED ANOTHER VEHICLE PARKED IN THE VEHICLE SERVICE LANE. IT LANDED IN THE HILLSIDE OF THE FREEWAY. THE VEHICLE SAFETY FEATURES INCLUDED FRONT, SIDE, AND PANEL AIRBAGS. NONE OF WHICH DEPLOYED. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS BY AMERICAN EXPRESS PROPERTY AND CAUSALITY INSURANCE. IT IS PRESENTLY LOCATED STURKEN AUTO BODY IN SAN JOSE, CA. IT IS SCHEDULED FOR IMMEDIATE TOWING BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY TO IV COMPANY IN NORTH HOLLYWOOD, CA FOR SALVAGE. THERE WAS A POLICE REPORT. THE CONSUMER WAS INJURED IN THIS VEHICLE. THERE MAYBE OTHER INJURIES BECAUSE THERE WERE 4 OTHER VEHICLES INVOLVED. THE CONSUMER HAS NOT SEEN THE POLICE REPORT YET. THE TRUCK CABIN WAS UNAVOIDABLE; THE CAR ON THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY HAD HIT IT FIRST. *NM

WHILE DRIVING HOME ON INTERSTATE 93 IN HEAVY TRAFFIC I NOTICED A SMALL OBJECT IN THE ROAD THAT I HAD THOUGHT I AVOIDED, BUT IN A INSTANT THE PASSENGER SIDE AND SEAT AIR BAG DEPLOYED. THE CAR FILLED WITH A SMOKY SUBSTANCE, CAUSING VISIBILITY TO BE LIMITED, MY WIFE AND I WERE STARTLED BUT OK, WE FIRST THOUGHT WE HAD BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. WE PULLED OVER AND CHECKED THE CAR AND FOUND NO DAMAGE. THE CAR IS 2005 NEW HONDA ACCORD HYBRID BRAND NEW WITH ONLY 500 MILES ON IT. AFTER WE COMPOSED OURSELVES WE CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY INDICATED TO PARK THE CAR AND DO NOT DRIVE IT SO WE HAD IT TOWED. THE DEALER PUT THE CAR ON A LIFT AND CALLED US TO SAY THEY COULD SEE A SCRATCH UNDER THE CAR WHERE SOMETHING MUST HAVE HIT A SENSOR AND THEN TRIGGERED THE AIR BAGS. IF THIS HAD BEEN ON THE DRIVERS SIDE I CAN ASSURE YOUR THE RESULTS COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORST. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT SUCH A SMALL OBJECT WOULD TRIGGER THIS TO GO OFF, RATHER THAN A SAFETY ITEM THESE ARE A HAZARD. I WILL FEAR SEEING AN OBJECT ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE FUTURE AND ALWAYS WONDER IF THE AIR BAGS WILL DEPLOY. DOES THIS SOUND NORMAL OR WAS THE DEALER TELLING ME THE TRUTH? I HAD TO FILE AN INSURANCE CLAIM BECAUSE THE DEALER STATED IT WAS MY FAULT. THE CAR IS NOW SITTING WAITING FOR THE INSURANCE ADJUSTER TO LOOK AT IT. *AK
