The airbag light often turns red, indicating that airbags are not likely to be deployed if needed. This happens usually when the steering is turned in a certain way when I take left or right turn (more likely during the left turn). No accidents. I took it to the dealership for repair. The dealership says this is an issue with a faulty part (clockspring) but there is no certainty. Even the cost of a clockspring replacement is about $500. I suspect this has something to do with 2011 Honda CRV airbag light issues. However, Honda never recognized this significant safety-related issue in 2012 CRVs.

Lost control of my car when I looked down to pick up a piece of ice in my console. In the crash the steering wheel air bag did not deploy, and my accelerator stuck. I had my seat belt on but the force of the impact in the ditch was so hard and my air bag did not deploy that my back was fractured in the accident!!

The contact owns a 2012 Honda CR-V. the VIN was not provided. The contact stated that while driving about 45 mph, a tire popped off from another vehicle and struck the driver's side front end bumper of the contact's vehicle, caved in the frame and punctured the radiator. The contact was able to maintain control of the vehicle. The driver's side air bag did not deploy while the passenger air bag deployed. There was no warning. The contact sustained injures that required medical attention, a whiplash, head and shoulder pains. A police report was filed. The vehicle was damaged and was towed away by the insurance company, awaiting a decision on the state of the vehicle. The dealer and the manufacture were not called. The failure mileage was approximately 135,000.

First off when driving the vehicle the side air bag light comes on then goes off. This is random it does not do it all the time but I have noticed it more when I turn a curve it seems to do it more. The other issue is the left blinker goes back and forth from blinking fast like there is a bad bulb to blinking normal this happens every time I drive it. I've check the bulbs and even replaced them thinking maybe im just not seeing a bad bulb and it still doing it. Im not to concerned with the blinker problem but I am with the air bags light. The two maybe related im not sure. I do know both could be dangerous.

Internal failure of passenger side weight sensor causing airbag light to be on in Honda CR-V. dealer has stated without $1600 of repair to weight sensor/seat frame, none of the car's airbags would be operational in the event I am in an accident. Vehicle has less that 50,000 miles on it and has never been in an accident, not even a bump.

We had a direct deer hit on I81 North in grantville pa. The direct hit was taken on the driver's side of the vehicle at 65 mph in highway driving. The airbag only deployed on the passenger side not on the driver's side. This seemed very odd to us. Either both air bags should have deployed or neither airbag should have deployed in this accident. Pictures are attached. I reported this to american Honda, but they refused to investigate it and I had to beg them for an email address to send the pictures to. Given their attitude, I felt I needed to report this accident to NHTSA. My car was totaled by New Jersey manufacturer's insurance co.

My husband and I had automobile accident on Nov 7 on a busy city street. I was the passenger. My husband hit a telephone pole at about thirty mph or less. The pole didn't split but I sustained serious enough injuries to be med-flighted to a boston due to internal bleeding in the abdomen and a broken wrist, two crushed fingers and multiple right side injuries. The air bags deployed and hit me hard. I also had my seat belt on prior to the accident when I came to, my seat belt wasn't secured. My husband was the driver and didn't receive any injuries yet the driver side air bag in steering wheel never came out nor did the seat air bag upon impact.

Takata recall my car is a "subject car" and if I am driving a potential "time bomb" which could maim or kill me or my family, I naturally prefer it to be fixed sooner rather than later. It has not blown up yet, but when it might, that will be too late. I wrote a letter to Mr. Yamada, pres. & CEO of Honda motor co. Na and he ignored my letter of November 19, 2014. My lawyer has a copy of that letter should the air bag explode.

I have a 2012 Honda CRV - VIN: [xxx], with just a few miles over 40,000 my airbag light has been on for several days. Today, I took it to have the diagnostic ran on it. The following error codes came up: 71-21: "short in the passengers front airbag off switch" 43-22: "no signal from the left side impact sensor (first)" B2-11: "no signal from the rear safing sensor" although, there doesn't appear to be any recalls, in this particular model of my Honda CRV, there obviously are issues with the airbag system. What steps do I need to take to resolve this matter? I have not received any kind of recalls, nor have I been able to find results, when searching for recalls. Please advise at your earliest convenience. Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
