My wife and daughter were in an accident 10/24/15. The front of the Honda Civic struck the back of another car. The air bags did not deploy, the seat belt shield them in but no longer function. I took the car into Honda dealership in lake worth, fl, a diagnostic was performed and the computer system was deemed to be not working. The force of the impact was strong enough that the driver and front seat passenger seat belts need to replaced. I purchased the car from this dealership in March 15' after seeing a carfax report saying that there was nothing wrong with the vehicle...updated 11/04/15 updated 1/4/2015
All of these issues have presented themselves while the car was on and in motion. Dear Honda: Recall the airbags asap!! #1 sign of issue @ 45 miles: Passenger airbag light/sensor would blink on-off intermittently (all the time) only while driving. Back driver window works intermittently. #2 @ 15000 miles: Steering wheel controls intermittently worked backwards (volume up would turn down & vice versa.) it wasn't frequently and always eventually started working correctly. #3 @ 40000 miles: Airbag warning light came on stating "check airbags" it goes off every once in a while but is on 90% of the time. (not under warranty, the dealer wants $150 just to look. Having the car less 2yrs. And the airbag having issues since 45 miles and never being in an accident, I feel this should be something I should not have to pay for and can't afford anyway. Huge safety concern. #3 @ 60000 miles: My cruise control does not work. It won't even turn on. #4 @ 64000 miles: The horn does not work most of the time. All these issues and I've only had the car 2.5 yrs. The cruise and volume controls not working is annoying but the horn and airbag is a huge risky issues. I'm not the first to complain. Honda is aware there is issues with the airbags in these models and still has not issued a recall" shame on you Honda! why wait? people are going to die because of the faulty airbags! how many before you make it right?"!!
Was traveling 70 mph on state highway. Was cutoff by large pick-up truck. Swerved off the road hit a metal sign took it down. Continued to drive until I hit a field the speed was too high for me to slam on the breaks. My airbag never deployed causing injury to my back. An airbag not deploying at that high of a speed concerns me. They repaired the car which I am really not comfortable driving.
My wife was drive at about 5mph..on a little street in sacramento... she was making a left turn...when an SUV did see her single and alcam from behind and hit her going about 20mph...they both spin out of control... there were no injuries..but a witness states that they seen multiple accidents in the same intersection.. and that about almost 100% of the time its a roll over...due to the angle orlf the road and speed of the other vehicles...now after the hard impact she spun of control came to a stop and no air bags deployed.. ever...not one single light came on...I'm just concerned because if the car would have rolled over and no air bags would have deployed... then she might have got injured really bad. If this situation is resolved I'm going to replace the Civic for something different.
I was at a stop and was rear-ended by a Ford F350 going 50-55 mph. My car was pushed into the car in front of me. I was number 2 in a 7 car pile up. My air bag did not deploy and my face hit the steering wheel and the back of my head hit the head rest.
