While waiting for over 9 months for the parts for my airbag to be fixed, the airbag light came on. I was told by Honda this would be fixed when the airbag was replaced. The dealer told me the light sensor was a separate issue and not covered under warranty. I do not have $800 dollars to fix this issue. I was told the airbag will not work as long as the light is on. What was the point in fixing my airbag if it does not work anyways. Is this not a safety issue?

Air bags: Recall 2005 Honda Element, announced: June 20 2014 Honda: A message to our customers about takata airbags 10/28/2014 revised 02/11/2015 on Tuesday, April 28, 2015, NHTSA convened a one-day workshop. Appearing on behalf of Honda was [xxx] smith, senior vice president, parts, service and technical division. Following is smith'"?S statement. Getting to 100% recall completion rates: Incentives and innovative ideas "due to the size of the campaigns to replace takata inflators, we also worked to increase the supply of replacement parts, and succeeded in securing three additional suppliers -- TRW, [xxx] and autoliv -- that are now supplying us with inflators. This will help accelerate the pace of repairs in the coming months." I received my recall notice in April 2015. The dealership set an appointment 3 weeks later, May 4, 2015. I received three emails, and one voicemail, to remind me of the appointment. 43 minutes after I brought the car, the dealer told me that they did not have the new airbag. I got them to provide me with a rental car. They offered no time-frame for when the part will arrive or when I will get my Element back. [xxx], how can you get to 100% recall completion rates if you cannot provide the replacement part? to quote you from the above statement, "completion rates of about 33 percent in the 9th and 10th year of ownership. To amplify this point, let me explain that we have enlisted a special investigative firm as part of our effort to contact hard-to-reach owners of older model vehicles affected by the takata airbag inflator recall. On a number of occasions, the investigators succeeded in locating the owner, but despite best efforts to persuade them, the customer refused to bring in their car for repair." I brought you my car seven months after the start of recall. Now what" information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
While I was turning into a parking lot I cut the turn too short and went over the curb. The airbag deployed. No damage. I didn't hit anything. Just went over the curb and the airbag deployed. I think this is a defect. This should be a recall item. I don't feel the airbag should deploy just for going over a curb. My arm was injured. Something needs to be done about this. I sent it to the dealer for repair and they said I was in an accident. Of course I knew they wouldn't say it's a common problem that the airbag deploys for no good reason.

We brought our 2005 Element into the dealer on Nov 3D in ukiah cal for replacement of the airbags per the recall of October 28th, 2014. The dealer replaced the driver takata airbag but told us the passenger airbag was not made by takata and therefore they would not replace it under the recall, but would charge us. I entered the VIN in the Honda recall web site. It did gave no information on line about the recall but told me to call them at 800 999 1009. Was a recall issued on the 28th of Oct that also applies to the passenger side?
Driver seat belt buckle switch for SRS air bag system shuts off SRS system - red warning light comes on. This has happened several times after resetting, system may work okay for several weeks. Repair shop says common problem seen may times. Cost to fix $350+.
While driving through parking lot approaching exit, the passenger side seat airbag deployed without reason. Loud bang, ringing ears, and crying kids. No bumps, potholes, curbs or accident. So far everyone from Honda, the dealer and insurance are all pointing the finger at each other. As seen on this and other sites this seems common however everyone acts like it's the first time they've heard of such a thing.
