The side curtain airbag on the passenger deployed when the car slightly grazed a snowbank. There wasn't an "impact" between the car and the snowbank. The car speed was less than 10 mph turning a corner on a residential street. There was absolutely no damage at all to the car. Not a nick or a scratch. The dirt didn't even move on the car. There was no reason for the airbag to deploy.

While the vehicle was in motion on a highway in a rural area, the vehicle was involved in a collision sustaining front impact causing substantial damage resulting in a total loss of the vehicle. However, with such impact to the front end, the air bags failed to deploy as they should have or are intended to.

My airbag lights literally go on and off multiple times while I'm driving. I am not sure what brand air bags are in my car, they could be the takata recalled part, but not sure. Whenever I have something in the front seat, or a person is sitting in the front seat the airbag lights on the dash come on. They will come on and go off while I am driving. This happens on the street, highway, anytime.

On April 1, 2019 I was involved in a collision at an intersection on city streets and the airbag in steering wheel did not deploy however the passenger side curtain airbag did deploy. The impact was front and passenger side of vehicle. I hit the steering wheel with force and now the steering wheel does not lock in place and I am ha ing a lot of pain in sternum and ribs. Shouldn't the driver airbag have deployed? the car is probably totaled. I am waiting for insurance adjuster to inspect it.

The contact owns a 2012 Honda Civic. The contact stated that the air bag indicator illuminated and remained lit. The contact was concerned that the air bag would deploy. The vehicle was taken to checkered flag Honda (6541 E Virginia beach blvd, Norfolk, va 23502 (757) 490-1111), but was not repaired because the VIN was not included in a recall. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 86,000.

On Oct. 24 and 25, 2018, a message "airbag system" suddenly appeared on my dashboard. On Oct. 25, 2018, I took the car to robertson Honda were they determined there was something wrong with the airbag system. I was asked if my car was ever involved in an accident and I said no. He informed me that I would have to pay for fixing the problem because the warranty had already expired. When I protested, he said he would check with his supervisor and when he came back he said they would fix the problem but I would have to pay $90. I didn't tamper with the airbag system so Honda should absorb the costs, . I called Honda corporate office and was told that because my car was not on the list of recall, and the warranty had already expired, I would have to pay the said amount. Are they right?

Takata recall. I purchased my car in 2015. Shortly after that the passenger airbag warning was on constantly. About a year ago the airbag warning came on for the driver side as well. (this is the date listed below) my car is warning me that I have no airbags. I've received "recall notices" in the mail and have called Honda a number of times concerning the recall. They said my car is not part of the recall. My car seems to be telling me a different story. It's too coincidental when other Honda Civics are having this problem and are part of a recall. Please check this out for me. If I ever get hurt in an accident due to "faulty" airbags I (or my family) will not just be writing and calling Honda about this. Please let me know. Thank you.
