2020 Honda Civic Airbags Problems

Your 2020 Honda Civic was in a collision at 60 MPH that caused extensive front-end and undercarriage damage, but the driver's and passenger's side airbags did not deploy as expected. After the collision, the vehicle's speed was limited to 40 MPH. The collision center discovered that all airbags had been removed and the wires were cut and twisted together, which fooled the sensors into thinking the airbags were still properly connected. The vehicle was not repaired due to cost concerns.

Your 2020 Honda Civic's passenger seat weight sensor has failed electrically, which means the airbags won't deploy for passengers sitting in that seat since the system can't detect their weight. A Honda dealership confirmed this is a real problem with your vehicle, not caused by an accident. The SRS (airbag system) warning light came on while driving and remains on. Fixing this will likely require replacing the faulty weight sensor under the passenger seat.

Your 2020 Honda Civic was included in a recall (Campaign 24V064000) related to the airbags. You took your vehicle to the dealer for the recall repair, but the dealer informed you that the necessary parts aren't available yet. You feel the manufacturer has taken too long to provide these parts for the repair.

Your 2020 Honda Civic is subject to a safety recall (Campaign 24V064000) involving the airbag system. Your dealer has informed you that the necessary parts are on backorder with no estimated arrival date. You're concerned that the manufacturer has taken too long to make parts available for this recall repair. Your airbags have not failed, but the recall work remains incomplete.

Your car's driver's side airbag deployed after hitting a protruding manhole cover while driving at 10 mph. The impact with the undercarriage triggered the airbag system unexpectedly, even though this wasn't a crash situation. The airbag system may need to be inspected and possibly reset by a technician to ensure it functions properly in actual emergency situations.

The contact owns a 2020 Honda Civic. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V064000 (Air Bags); however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The dealer was contacted, and informed the contact that parts were not yet available for the recall repair, and there was no information on when parts would be available. The contact called another dealer, Holman Honda of Fort Lauderdale (12 E Sunrise Blvd, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33304); who confirmed the information provided by the first dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and opened a case. The manufacturer informed the contact that the parts were on back order. The contact had not experienced a failure.

I received an email from Honda regarding a safety recall, stating that the defective part is now available. However, when I called different Honda dealerships, they told me to disregard the notice because the part is not available. If the repair cannot be done, I am concerned why Honda sent the notice in the first place.

While making a slow right turn into a shopping plaza, I accidentally struck a median curb with only the driver’s side front tire. Despite the low speed and minimal impact, the passenger side front airbag deployed without cause, severely endangering my passenger. Aside from a flat tire, there was no damage to the body of the car. Fortunately, we were moving slowly enough to avoid injury, but had we been going any faster, it could have caused serious harm. After the incident, both front seatbelts locked, rendering the vehicle unsafe for both the driver and passenger. I later discovered that there are confirmed recalls affecting the passenger airbag system (specifically the front passenger seat weight sensor) for 2020 Honda Civics—my car’s exact make and model—but my VIN does not appear to be included, despite exhibiting the same failure. When I brought the car to a Honda dealership, I was told the recall did not apply and was quoted $10,000 in repairs for the SRS and seatbelt systems. Rather than addressing the potential manufacturing defect, I was instead hounded to trade in the vehicle. I believe this incident reflects a serious safety malfunction tied to an existing recall and deserves investigation. My vehicle may have been improperly excluded from a recall campaign affecting others with identical equipment and model specifications.

The passenger side seat belt light comes on when someone is sitting in the passenger seat. We have had to McGrath Honda in St Charles IL, but they say there is no recall. First time they did a diagnostic and said nothing wrong. Still came on sporadically. Took back, McGrath said they could do a diagnostic but it would cost $159. I said, you already did that. Why not change the sensor. They said we have a service bulletin that states it may be a problem, but you will have to pay to fix. I said it does not come on all the time, so obviously it is a Honda problem. Left the dealership. That was three months ago. It has started coming on again. This is ridiculous. Honda has a seat belt safety issue and refuse to address it. What can be done? Do I need to contact the Consumer Protection Agency in Illinois or the National Safety and Transportation board?

On January of 2024 I received a letter from Honda informing me that my vehicle was affected by a recall regardimg a seat sensor of the airbag. I contacted the dealership to get the recall fixed because my vehicle is used for a car rental business and with the recall I am not able to operate the vehicle for rental purposes. I was told by my local dealer that if my dash oard light is not on they cannot fix it. I called several times for several months, the last time being today, December 09, 2024. Basically, I received the letter to notify me of tje recall, bit the dealer will not fix it. The recall description is provided below.

I financed this car 3 months ago, and I received a safety recall notice from Honda. Unfortunately, they don't have the necessary part until 2025. As a result, I've been unable to rent out the car on Toro for the past 2 months to make finance payments. Additionally, due to a previous car accident, I don't feel safe driving the car, which causes me anxiety. Now, I'm unsure what steps to take. I want to return the car without negatively impacting my credit score, as this situation is not my fault. I'm losing both money and payments because of the recall, and the car can't be fixed until 2025.

In a Walmart parking lot I bumped into a curb stone with the left front tire at low speed (5 mph?). The passanger side air bag went off and blew out the windhield. I do not believe the air bag should have deployed at such a low speed. There was no damage to the car body. Total cost for replacing the air bag, windshield and both front seat belts was around $3,500.

The passenger airbag deployed while I was driving at 5mph. Which no crash

I hit a cow going 55mph on a state highway, and my airbags did not deploy.

I was driving and the passenger air exploded.

Stopped at a red light, I was rear ended by a car going 30-35 mph and pushed into the car in front of me. The driver seat was in a reclining position after impact, I was sitting up when hit and wound up laying almost to the back seat after impact but the airbag never deployed causing my stomach to hit the steering wheel.

Driving at roughly 6mph in a parking lot when my passenger side airbag randomly deployed. Resulted in shattered windshield, damage to dash, seat belts not working properly. Vehicle was not and has not been in any accident. No damage to the vehicle.

OUR PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG DOES NOT WORK WHEN I SIT IN THE SEAT. OUR HONDA DEALER HAS SAID THERE COMPUTER DOES NOT SEE A PROBLEM WE DETERMINED THAT I MAY NOT MEET THE WEIGHT ALLOWANCE AS I WEIGH ABOUT 88-90 LBS. WE HAVE COMPLAINED TO THE AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR COMPANY AND WERE TOLD THEY WOULD GET BACK TO US BUT THAT WAS NEARLY A MONTH AGO.. ALL OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE SAT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT DID NOT EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM AND WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED CLEAR INFORMATION AS TO WHAT THE WEIGHT ALLOWANCE IS FOR THIS CAR. WHEN I SIT IN THE SEAT, THE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON. I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED ABOUT HONDA'S APPARENT INDIFFERENCE AS WELL AS THE LACK OF SAFETY I FEEL WHEN SITTING IN THAT SEAT. PLEASE LET ME KN OW IF YOU CAN FOLLOW UP ON THIS CONCERN FOR ME. THANK YOU.

I WAS IN A WRECK MAY 2020. I SWERVED TO MISS A DEER AND HIT A CONCRETE COLVERT, THE VEHICLE LAUNCHED AND MY AIRBAGS DIDN'T GO OFF. VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE, MY MOTOR, TRANSMISSION, AND TIRES CAME OFF. I SUFFERED FROM SPINAL INJURY AND NERVE DAMAGE.

HONDA DEALER AND HONDA USA TELL ME THAT MY WIFE (95LBS) IS NOT HEAVY ENOUGH TO ACTIVATE THE PASSENGER AIR BAG AND MAKE THE DASH INDICATOR GO OUT. THE OWNERS MANUAL SAYS (PG47) THAT THE WEIGHT TO ACTIVATE THE AIR BAG IS 65LBS. IS THIS A HONDA PROBLEM ?
