Car was running fine. No problems. All of a sudden the airbag light came on. I stopped the car and checked the seat on the passenger side and seat belts trying to figure out why it was on. I got back into the car and continued home. When slowing to turn into driveway a loud banging noise occurred. The car was put in park and immediately started rolling backwards. This could have been a hazard if a car had been passing by or if this had happened in busy traffic. I could have rolled back and hurt someone, hurt myself or rolled back into oncoming traffic. Also if someone had been walking behind the car and gotten ran over and killed. Anyway it was later towed to a dealer and diagnostics ran. The dealer informed me that I needed a new transmission. That is not right. My car was like new with a little over 68 thousand miles on it. I still owe on it and purchased it brand new. Honda should be responsible for this. Since this has happened to me and I have begun to research this I found a ton of recalls for this same problem, yet I am told my car is a 6 cylinder and is not under recall. Please help. I was told it would cost me 4400 plus $ to replace the transmission. Honda should be responsible for this cost.

Airbag light appears on the dadshboard intermittently. It only comes on if I start the car and do not have my seatbelt on. If my seatbelt is on, the light does not come on. Further, while driving and the light is not on, the moment I take my seatbelt off, while the car is running, the airbag light comes on.

I was driving doing about 35 mph and out of no where I hear this big pop! the side airbags on the driver side and in the back had deployed. No one hit me nor did I run over anything in the street.there was no type of impact. The airbag deployed for no reason. I reported it to Honda dealership as soon as I got home. They ask me to bring the vehicle in the next day. The dealer ship and Honda America inspected the vehicle their determination was that there was underbody damage. I couldn't believe what they showed me. It was a scratch, like someone took a screwdriver or something and scratched the vehicle. This was there reason for deployment. Long story short they would not fix the vehicle because they felt it wasn't their fault. I am very disappointed with Honda and how this was handled. Honda states they are so big on safety for their customers but yet they will not fix vehicles that have defective parts that should be on a recall list, and now I have a vehicle with no side airbags and no seat belt. Where is the safety concern?? what if this would have cause and accident where some one was injury, my youngest daughter was in the car with me when this airbag deployed for no reason. Thank god it didn't cause me to hit another vehicle. I have done my own research and found out that this same incident has happened to several other customers. Clearly there is a malfunction in this part/sensor. When is Honda going to take some responsibility and keep their customers safe and do the right thing!!! I will continue to pursue this because I know exactly what happen and it was not cause by something hitting underneath my vehicle.

I purchase this vehicle on April 28th 2008. The carfax report had an accident indicator by the second owner, but did not mention what type of accident in terms of moderate, minor, no damage, etc. This report was printed March 24th 2008. When I bought the vehicle the air bag light was on, and when driving; it still stayed on and I told atlanta used car dealership, who told me to take it to the Honda dealership to look at it and stated that its probably a glitch. I took the vehicle to the Honda car dealership to inspect. The Honda dealership found the SRS control unit and the passenger side curtain airbag faulty. As stated on my customer invoice from gwinnett place Honda, the passenger side air bag appeared to be cut out. Carfax did not report that there is a deficient airbag. Another incident found is that the accelerator occasionally stick when trying to depress. The Honda dealership found there was a carbon build up and it needed service. The dealer replaced the right outer tie rod end, which is on the right passenger where the accident occurred. The dealer stated it was unsafe for me to drive without replacing the tie rod, which was serviced and they also performed a 4 wheel alignment and test drive before I left. My experience has led me to take the initiative to communicate with my attorney general's office, and other consumer protection agencies to report this incident. Sincerely, olutomilola aiyetiwa

I was traveling at a speed of about 45 mph. The driver's side curtain airbag, driver's seat airbag, and driver's seatbelt spontaneously deployed. There is no apparent reason for this.

The contact stated after purchasing the vehicle he began to notice cracks in the steering wheel above the air bags. He contacted Honda and spoke with a representative. The representative had someone else to call him back. The representative told him that this problem was his fault because of the way he was pressing the horn. Both times the airbag were replaced by the dealership under warranty. He went to a body shop and saw two other vehicles with the same problem, and they told him if the air bag deployed then it could cause injury to him. Updated 12/27/05.

We purchased a new 2005 Honda Accord ex-L (4 cyl) on July 31, 2005. 3 weeks into ownership, the airbag warning light came on and stayed on. The car was being driven normally at the time. We followed the owner's manual instructions and returned to the dealer for service on 8/19/2005 (bankston Honda in lewisville, tx). The service department ran a computer test on the car and confirmed that the driver's side airbag was not receiving a signal, and in fact would not deploy in the event of a crash. In short, the airbag was non-functional. The dealer had the car until today, 8/24/2005. Their fix was to "clear the code" and make the light go off. They claim they were unable to find the cause of the problem, and wanted to return the car to us. No parts were replaced. The light simply turned off and they consider that "fixed" I suppose. I insisted on an explanation, since this is a critical safety item. We were told by the dealer that in Honda Accord, the airbag's functionality can be compromised by a cell phone being in the car! if this is the case, the cars should be recalled! there's even a special power jack between the front seats for cell phones. There's no telling how many Honda drivers are in danger if what the dealer told me is the case. How can a car manufacturer and dealer knowingly sell a vehicle whose primary safety feature deactivates because the owner is carrying a cell phone? we left the dealer with our car (8/24/05). About 2 miles down the road the airbag light came on again. We immediately returned to the dealer. They have the car again and are going to call "Honda tech" for advice. I am thoroughly disappointed with this vehicle and am angry that we and thousands of other Accord drivers could be at risk of injury/death because of a known problem that hasn't been announced by the mfg and remedied. I don't want the car anymore because I don't believe it's safe. I want my money back.
