The airbag sign keeps popping on when I am driving. Then I will have to have my children lean to their left away from the doors in order for the airbag sing to go off. After a few minutes the airbag off sign will pop on. This happens frequently. The sign will pop on while I'm at a light, or driving on the highway, city streets, or turning.

Since the first week I bought my Honda dash screen read that "passanger airbag is off". I notified the workers at the Honda service department several times when I would get it serviced. They stated that it wasn't anything to be concerned about, sometimes that happens. It doesn't show up all the time but every now and then it'll pop up. I hope I won't ever have to find out if it is properly working in a car incident but it is a concern of mine if it were to happen that the airbag would not work. When it does occur it occurs when I'm driving.

From the time I purchased the vehicle it's been showing the air bag light and the dealer stayed it's the sensors behind the seat that are defective. They replaced the sensors and continued happening didn't worry about it because car always passed state inspection. I went back to the dealer and the dealer stated it's the same problem and it's out of warranty.

My check air bag light has been on and off again for months. After several visits to the dealer they determined the inflator is the issue and I need to pay for it as it is not affected by the recall. I completely disagree with this and feel it is impacted by the recall.

The passenger side airbag sign keeps coming out to tell the driver the airbag is disabled sometimes when there is a person who sits on the passenger side of the vehicle. Also received a recall of months ago but the dealer keeps saying everything is fine no recall on the list. It happened since the day I purchased in 2012 and it happens very often recently.

Takata recall, passengers air bag light will come on and say air bag not on. This happens a lot. When I tell them at Honda service dept. They say it's because you have a light bag in the seat. Makes no sense to me. In motion, stationary city street.

Takata recall - my passenger airbag always turns off and gives me an error of the passenger air bag "off" indicator... whether an adult or teen over 65 lbs is sitting in the front passenger seat. This is dangerous and I didn't have money to check this issue out with Honda. They always do something crazy to my car and break something. Afraid I'll have to pay more money to get something checked out and I'll have to pay more money. This light goes on several times so I cannot give a specific date. I remember it occurring on thanksgiving day 2017 and it's occurred in December 2017.
