This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Few moths back airbag light came one had it checked they thought a pinched wire in the steering wheel was the problem 400 later said it was fixed. Then recently exactly 3 months later it's happening again checked it again at Honda after 4 hours they finally found out was wrong its thr driverside airbag inflatar. Did a claim but was refused due to the fact apparently my 2013 isn't under recall and due to the fact my 2013 has been on road for a whopping 8 years its just plain wear and tear on the vehicle the claim adjuster compared it to changing the oil in my car. It's a safety issue and airbags and inflators are usually considered a lifetime guarentee for cars. So I had to shed 1400 for the inflator. I'm scared to death to drive my car anywhere till it's fixed. What bugs me is the fact it's not with the recall eventhough it's the same issue. The claims person basically confirmed if I drove it more I have a higher chance of it exploding.
My 2013 Honda Civic consistently has the "check air bag system" indicator comes on 75% to 80% of the time when I begin to drive it. It's unknown why this occurs" it occurs while driving in the city or on the highways. Makes no difference. I've read many complaints about this on the internet from fellow Civic owners. This occurs only on the model year 2013. My concern is if I would be in an accident, I've been told if the warning light is on, the air bag system will not deploy and possibly could cause serious bodily injuries. This is not acceptable to have such a quality automobile company like Honda not to investigate and have this fixed. My car looks and drives like brand new with only 30K miles on it. I've check my VIN number for recalls but there are none. I went to a dealership and they said they could run a diagnostic check for $139 but said that wouldn't guarantee a fix solution. And internet owners have paid for this to no avail for a fix solution. Then more diagnostic checks would be required and who knows at what expense" I'm asking to please look in to this situation for myself and my families well being and safety. Thank you for your time.
Airbag warning turns on/off intermittently. Warning comes on randomly, sometimes a few seconds after start, other times hours, other times it remains off. If vehicle is turned off and restarted, warning goes away. Warning can remain off for days and re-ignite for no reason. Warning turns on with or without passenger. When tested, no codes come back. Vehicle at 61,316 miles.
My 2013 Honda Civic has 43,000 miles and the starter is already breaking. I read that the 2013 Accord was recalled for the starter but not the Civic. According to the Honda dealership the same starters were used in both cars, but the Civic was not recalled. The passenger airbag is defective as well, but Honda told me there is an extended warranty to replace them. However, they say I am responsible so replacing the starter.
The vsa stay on and my power steer turn on and off sometimes it's hard to turn I hard to pull over the freeway to shut the car off and then on in order to retain my power steering, my traction control doesn't work wich am guessing it's related with the vsa and my airbag light turns on my dash then turns off am a little terrified I might loose complete control off my car and my airbag will go off or not even pop off incase of an accident or I might cause an accident if I keep loosening my power steering (electronical power steering)
The contact owns a 2013 Honda Civic. The contact stated that the air bag warning light was illuminated. Cardinal Honda located at 531 ct-12, groton, ct 06340, was contacted and informed of the failure. The contact was informed to have the vehicle taken to be diagnosed. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted nor informed of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 36,000.
The airbag SRS warning light comes on intermittently when I am driving it and I cannot pinpoint when/why. This happened a year ago and the dealership said it was the cable reel in the steering wheel which was replaced. 10 months later (and less than 1000 miles driven) and the airbag SRS warning light is continuing to come on intermittently (driving city streets and highway - sometimes it comes on after 15 minutes of driving, sometimes it doesn't come on for for multiple times of driving). I brought it to the dealership and they said they could not duplicate the error and that it could be airbag assembly or clock spring. There are numerous complaints online about intermittent airbag light and Honda should be addressing this if it's a manufacturing issue. I do not feel safe driving nor comfortable paying $1200 to replace driver airbag assembly when it's not even clear if there's an issue. Honda should be researching this issue and addressing it, particularly with the number of similar complaints. It is unsafe.
The "check airbag system" warning light keeps turning on and off intermittently. I can find many online complaints about 2013 Civic owners having dealers replace system components only to have the problem reappear in a couple of months. I had our Civic serviced at a Honda dealer in spokane wa a couple of months ago, and had requested they diagnose the problem. I'm in AZ and my daughter took the car in to the dealer to replace headlight bulbs and inspect the airbag system. However, they did not do the inspection!!! their explanation was that online appointment notes don't appear at their shop... sheesh. So it never was looked at and haven't had a chance to take it back in. No idea if the airbags actually work right now, isn't that great? I feel the 2013 Civics need to be included in the takata recall, but the VIN does not reflect it being included at this time. Not happy with such an early failure in the airbag system.
Once a month roughly while I'm driving my airbag light comes on the dash and reads "check airbag" I know this is wrong because nothing is wrong. If I pull over and shut my car off wait 30 secs then turn it back on the error message will turn off.

Airbag warning light comes on every now and then, checked with Honda many times but no recall. This issue started about 3 years ago when all the other Honda were getting air bag recall. Very concerning when passenger is in the car with me.
Check air bag light comes on randomly. Sometimes when go over speed bump, sometimes just driving on smooth road, or making a turn. No real pattern discovered yet. Started sometime ago but came on maybe once every 3-4 months. Now however it is occurring much more frequently almost daily. It has been rather hot and humid since occurrences started being more frequent not sure if that is coincidence or part of reason for the increase. Once car is turned off the light is gone till the next random occurrence. It has not turned on without the vehicle moving at this point.
Check airbag system light comes on and off randomly and almost daily. Honda is quoting $500-2000 to fix but my research has shown many complaints with lots spending a lot of money with no better results. Unacceptable for a car with just 68,000 miles. We as customers expect these safety issues to work as designed. Our life could depend on it. From my limited research this is a widespread, known issue with the 13 Honda Civic.
Car was involved in a roll over accident which included driver front side impact. Car went of the road into a ditch, went over the other side of the ditch flipping back on its 4 wheels. Impact on wheels was enough to knock wheels partial off the car with blown back window and cracked windshield. Neither the driver or passenger airbags were deployed. Side curtain airbags were deployed. Vehicle sustain total damage. Driver sustained life threatening injuries
Airbag warning light comes on and off at random times while driving. This seems to be a widespread complaint with 2013 Honda Civics and while there is no recall yet, there should be in my opinion.
