When I have an adult passenger sitting in my 07 Accord front passenger seat I occasionally see the passenger airbag off light lit up. The passenger is about 95 pounds and I believe it should be sufficient to keep ensure airbags are kept alive for an grown up adult. I am very concerned about this and worried that airbag may fail to deploy. I request Honda and NHTSA to consider this complaint seriously and investigate asap before it is too serious.
The contact owned a 2007 Honda Accord. While driving approximately 50 mph, the contact's vehicle was struck by another vehicle. The contact's vehicle spun around and crashed into a fence. The driver side was damaged extensively and both frontal air bags failed to deploy. The driver sustained major injuries and the passenger suffered minor injuries. Both occupants received medical attention. The vehicle was destroyed. A police report was filed. The manufacturer informed the contact of NHTSA campaign number: 14V351000 (air bags). The approximate failure mileage was 90,000.
I had previously filed a complaint 7/31/2013. Id number: 10532958. Due to the recent recall of air bags Honda had purchased by a certain manufacturer and the time frame being allowed to Honda to rectify, I felt the need to update my complaint. The impact to the car in from was so minimal they did not have a dent, our airbags deployed at 30-35 mph, reading other complaints, yes the sound was horrific, likely to hitting a brick wall, the seat belt tension rod snapped at the impact, my eyelashes were burnt and at the time I reported the complaint I was under the impression that I had suffered two herniate disc's from this. Far worse, one disc had herniated so badly it was pressing against my spinal cord, I was at a 50% risk of becoming completely paralyzed. I had cervical disc removal surgery. Too many complaints about this, either exploding without cause with debris and chemical causing injuries and or not operating at all, peoples lives are at stake, Honda should not be allowed to take their time in assessing these types of damages.

While I was driving 40-45 mph I was involved in a car accident which caused my airbag to deploy. I suffered severe burns on both of my hands caused by a powdery substance emitted from the airbag.
My husband and I were hit by a driver who went thru a red arrow. The air bags did not deploy even though the car was hit on drivers side from the head light past the rear door. Both the windows were broken on driver's side there was glass everywhere, damage was extensive. The driver's and front passengers dual-stage airbags, driver's and front passengers side airbags and side curtain airbags did not deployed. The seat belt on passenger side did not tighten up went passenger was thrust forward. The magnitude and force of the crash caused abrupt jerking to our heads and necks. The range of motion in my neck is very limited I cannot turn head to see blind spots or back out of parking spots when driving. We both have disc problems to our back and neck causing us difficulty when walking, standing or sitting and in our every day living. If the airbags deployed our injuries would not have been so extensive and our lives would be better.the car was repaired using some used parts costing $12,000 to repair. I feel this car is unsafe. Six airbags did not deploy in a major car crash and someone could be driving this car today. We bought this Honda because of all the safety features but they failed to work.
We were driving North on interstate 495 in Virginia near mile marker 45.2. we hit a rock in the road puncturing tire. The air bags exploded out of their compartments on passenger side tearing up seat off the car and ceiling compartment of the car. The explosion was so loud it rendered me deaf, but my hearing is cleared up some now.

Driving 10mph and just made a left hand turn when the driver side, side curtain airbag deployed. The bag hit the operator in the head /neck area causing pain to his neck. No accident occurred or no obstructions in the road where hit to cause deployment.
I was driving on the interstate with the flow of traffic, approx 60 mph, when there was a sudden explosion, and smoke filled the inside of my Honda Accord. I maintained driving control, and pulled over to the side of the road, after gaining my composure. The passenger side curtain airbags were covering my entire front and rear passenger side. The headliner was ripped, along with the passenger front seat. I realized that the airbags had deployed for no apparent reason.
I was in the driver seat of my 2007 Honda Accord with a passenger in the right side front seat. I was traveling in the left lane on a highway (476 southbound in Pennsylvania, approximate mile marker 21) at 5:30 am with no cars to my immediate front, side or rear. With no provocation, all of the right side airbags went off, causing damage to the right ear of my passenger as well as myself. There was no impact whatsoever, as well as no potholes or road damage at all. The insurance adjuster as well as the collision center (vinart collision, associated with lehigh valley Honda) both found no impact and no external reason why the airbags would deploy. If there had been another vehicle on the road near me, this could have very easily caused an accident and possibly more severe injuries. I have reported it to american Honda corporation and they sent a representative to look at the vehicle. I have yet to receive any information from them as to why this has occurred.
2007 Honda Accord ex-navigation. I have owned this vehicle since 2010 with 30K. They should be multiple recalls on this vehicle. In 2 occasions on the highway, I was unable to stop this vehicle. I rear ended one vehicle doing 45 mph without the airbags deploying. The airbag light stays on with it flashing. I had a complete brake system overhaul. Second time, the same thing happened. I pressed on the brakes and it takes so long for the vehicle to respond. Dealership told me there was no issue with the airbags or braking system. After both accidents the airbag light flashes and stays on. Also the seat belts stay in a locked position and won't retract. Dealership says the piston in the seat belts were bad. I waited to have them fixed. Good thing because both seat belts retracted after three weeks. Separate issue with the seals on the outer doors. Every time it rains I end up with 3 inches of water on the driver side rear floor. I had the dealership also check this. They said they fixed the problem. All problems still occur to this day. I had owned Honda Accord all my life of 48 years. I have my doubts of ever buying another Honda vehicle after this awful experience.
Heavy traffic, large truck in front of me, a large muffler in the middle of my lane in the road, was unable to change lanes due to other vehicles next to me, and was unable to drive off road - barriers set in the berm next to road. Did my best in straddling the muffler, in which it had seemed it would clear the bottom of my car. I didn't clear it, the curtain airbag and seat airbag imploded on the left side of my head/ear (very loud pop and some smoke-type substance in air) on the driver's side, along with my seat belt retracting very tightly. Was able to move the airbag so that I could drive the remaining short distance to my home.
