"takata recall"..the airbag light in my car randomly comes on a lot, I worry that it will deploy while driving. 2nd concern: Suspension in my car is very bad, I had my mechanic check it and he said he had lots of complaints about this in lots of Civics, he can't find problem.
Takata recall: There have been numerous times where I have either called or went to a Honda dealership to have the airbag inflators on both the driver and passenger side, fixed to avoid harm to myself or others. In almost three years, I have not once heard back about the dealership receiving parts to fix the issue. I have never received notice, nor was I told about the recall with the wiring harness terminal for the low beam headlights. Honda needs to fix this issue because it is a huge safety hazard that can get people killed or seriously injured.
Takata recall? I was in an accident with a major impact to my car and none of the airbags inflated. I was stopped on a freeway off-ramp and another vehicle rear-ended me with full speed pushing me to collide with another vehicle in front of me.

The contact owned a 2003 Honda Civic. The contact took the vehicle to huntington Honda (1055 jericho turnpike, huntington, NY 11743, phone number: (631) 423-6000) to be repaired for an unknown air bag recall. While driving from the dealer, the contact noticed that the air bag was sticking out of the steering wheel and the horn failed to function. While driving 25 mph, the gear shifter failed to shift out of park, the radio failed, and the steering wheel seized. The vehicle stalled without warning. While making a left turn, the contact crashed into a high curb, which pushed the engine back. The air bags failed to deploy. The contact sustained a broken foot that required medical attention. A police report was not filed. The vehicle was towed to nardy Honda smithtown (559 middle country rd, St james, NY 11780, phone number: (855) 738-2920). The vehicle was destroyed. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 131,000.
Takata recall (15V-370), after bringing my vehicle into Honda for the takata recall the SRS light came on. Since it was not part of the recall I did not contact them figuring that it would not be covered. However, I have seen numerous complaints about the same thing happening to others online. It also happened to a friend of mine and Honda covered it so I called and was told it would not be covered it must be a coincidence and certainly not from a defect or improper work. I find it very odd that the light came on right after the work on the recall. I had doubts about brining it in and should not have done it. They say it is probably related to a sensor, which I have gathered could have been from improper work.
Takata recall, recall? the original airbags have been replaced, approximately 18 months ago. Now the airbag light has come on - and stays on. I came on 2 weeks ago for no apparent reason (no crash or other reason it would come on). It is on from the time I turn the car on until I turn the car off.
SRS light comes on constantly. Code reads seat belt buckle, changed multiple times under seat belt warranty. Now tech line advises replacing wire harness into seat belt...dealer wants over $900. Honda will cover under warranty anything seat belt related but they do not care about air bags...and won't cover it. Please cover this under warranty Honda...it's not even guaranteed this will clear the code. Theory is air bags are disabled if SRS light is on...why have the harness anyway...service has used electrical contact cleaner, re-wired the end of the harness, but only satisfies for a few months and code continues to eliminate SRS light which disables airbags. Why cover seatbelts but not airbag/SRS system?
The contact owns a 2003 Honda Civic. While driving at various speeds, the air bag light was constantly illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the air bag system failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired under NHTSA campaign number: 15V320000 (air bags), but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 210,000.
So, I received the Honda safety recall notice for the airbags and brought my 2003 Civic to be serviced. After it was compete, I noticed that the airbag light was still illuminated on my dash. I went back to speak with the dealership and the woman said that light is not part of the recall! how absurd is that"! there's a diagnostic charge for figuring out what the problem is. Why isn't this part of the recall, Honda?!"!

The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. The VIN was unavailable.
Called the dealership for an appointment and was given one over 60 days beyond the days date. The recall is for airbags and is a clear safety risk to drivers. They will sell vehicles but will not repair their mistakes in a reasonable amount of time.
Took car in for airbag failure recall and was told the SRS unit in the airbag system had an internal failure. However, this was not covered under any type of warranty or recall. This is an integral part of a safety system that should not fail under normal wear an tear. The part was on back order and required a deposit of $800 to order. We left the dealership not knowing if our airbags would work or not.
08/31/2015 I purchased this car from ganley westside imports, 25580 lorain ave., North olmsted, oh 44070, 440-734-2000 in November 2014 with this recall outstanding. I was told they would order the part. I called the service department in January 2015 and was told my name wasn't even in the system but he would order the part. I called again on May 18, 2015, and was told the part was still back ordered.
The contact owns a 2003 Honda Civic. While driving 5 mph, the vehicle crashed into a curb and the air bags deployed. The air bag warning light illuminated ten to fifteen minutes after the incident. After experiencing the failure, it was discovered that the vehicle was included in NHTSA campaign numbers: 15V37000 (air bags) and 15V320000 (air bags). The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was confirmed that the vehicle was included in the recalls. Due to the failure already being experienced, the vehicle was not repaired and the recall remedies were declined. A police report was not filed and no injuries were sustained. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 127,000. The VIN was not available.
SRS light is always on. I have reset it a number of times but it will go on again after a few days or weeks. The air bags will not deploy when the light is on. I am surprised that this is not a very serious safety issue. From reviewing the complaints, the dealers answers or guesses as to what's wrong are too numerous to list here and the cost just to investigate is just too high. There is something obviously wrong with this system and Honda needs to seriously address this issue.
