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.

Airbags failed to deploy upon impact of collision.

- Mcdonough, GA, USA

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 Accord 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.

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.

- Miami, FL, USA

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 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.

Supplemental restraint system indicator light remains (intermittently) illuminated beyond the normal time after starting vehicle. The problem appears to be the same as described in other "complaints" published in NHTSA recall campaign id number 07V001000. According to local Honda dealership, this vehicle is not part of the recall group and does not qualify for cost free remediation by Honda.

- Elm City, NC, USA

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 updated 09/05/12 updated 09/10/2012

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!

Air bag warning light coming on and off intermittently. But heard previous models have recall on this issue but not for 2005 models.

- Sugar Land, TX, USA

Air bag warning light, was recalled previously for the 2005 Honda Accord, but not for the id number for my vehicle, warning light comes on and off often, was recalled for problem with harness wiring short, was told my vehicle, did not qualify for repair. Under previous recall.

- Hawthorne,, CA, USA

My air bag light was lit, I took it to Honda they re-set something, 5 minutes later as I was leaving it lit up again. Took it back they said they had to do diagnostics, ordered a wiring harness, installed that. I drove to Florida and back 1300 miles round trip and the light is back on meaning my bags will not deploy. I have had a very difficult time getting this addressed. Honda (apple tree in fletcher, nc) had my car from tue-sat and I had to rent a car due to their negligence. Now I have to drive back over there 1 1/2 hour drive one way and see what is going on. I noticed there have been similar issues, but that my VIN was not covered. Please advise. I am still driving an unsafe car and have spent countless hours going back and forth and paying for a rental car.

My 2005 Accord had an illuminated supplemental restraint system (SRS) light. The Honda dealer diagnosed it down to a broken driver seat sensor harness; fault codes 71-10 (drivers seat pos sensor) and A2-10 (faulty pwr supply). This condition is exactly the same as described in Honda service bulletin 07-002, "safety recall: Driver's seat position sensor harness replacement." Just as described in the bulletin, the wires on the harness become damaged and in fact were completely broken away from the plug end. However, my VIN falls outside the affected VIN's listed in the service bulletin and is not covered under this action. Furthermore, I feel the dealer charged more than necessary for the repair: They charged 1.96 hrs of labor (at $97/hr), or $190, and $15.20 for the part totaling $205.20. In comparison, the service bulletin calls for 0.6 hrs of labor, which when added to the part cost would have totaled $73.40. Bottom line: Honda did not provide the proper fix for damaged driver's seat position harness's in later production vins. Since they continue to cause the same unsafe condition, Honda must be compelled to increase the scope of this recall.
