While I was driving, a truck hit me from behind causing a 5 car accident. My car was unable to be driven from the scene. The radiator and front collision bar are very bent in, however my airbags did not deploy. The truck was going 60 mph when it hit me hard enough to cause another 3 cars to have damage. This is a potential issue for others and currently I have very bad neck and head pain from the accident. My car had a warning screen saying -??check airbag system-?? after the accident.

The specific part is the driver side airbag inflater which is causing the airbag system to fail. The repair has not been done on the vehicle yet. According to the dealer, when the indicator light triggers, none of the airbags will inflate in an accident. After February 1, 2023 the airbag indicator is activated every time the car is driven. The car was taken to the local dealer at the end of March 2023. The service adviser said the resistance is out of tolerance for the air bag causing the entire airbag system to fail.

I was involved in a multi vehicle crash on the highway at a high rate of speed, approximately 50mph. I was hit from behind and hit the car in front of me totaling my car. My airbags did not deploy and I hit the steering wheel upon impact and suffered 4 compression fractures in my T1-T4 vertebrae. The doctor stated that if my airbags would have deployed I would not have suffered the neck fractures that I did.

Air Bag warning light intermittently coming on. Has become more frequent. Started at 60,000 miles, infrequent at first but now at 80,000 mile on almost all the time. Brought it in to be checked and at that time warning light was off. Was told it was a safety issue since airbags would not deploy if light was illuminated when in a collision

My vehicle has approximately 75,000 miles and is driven approximately once a week. The issue occurred when I turned my vehicle on and started driving.

At 87,200 or so miles, the system fail alert for airbag came on and we took to mechanic to diagnose, then we took to Honda dealership to diagnose and repair. System check said it was driver airbag issue, mechanic contacted Honda and was advised to replace. At the diagnostic indicted to replace cable reel (379.00) replaced and light stayed off at dealership at 87,588. Light came back on next day. Is the airbag defective and Honda is not admitting it" does this airbag need to be recalled and replaced? I am following up with dealership today. Car serviced the 18th, light came back on 19th of January 2021, I am following up today with dealership. Is this unsafe to drive? will driver airbag deploy"

Check airbag system alert comes on and off while driving. Upon bringing it into the dealer, I (the owner) owner was told that codes 11-10 and 11-18 (airbag module and inflator) on driver side, and it is not covered by warranty. If the vehicle is involved in an accident, the driver side airbag will not deploy.

Check airbag system light would come on sporadically. Dealership said spiral cable and airbag inflator had to be replaced. Not under recall or warranty. Owners responsibility $1343.99. Would mark vehicle 'unsafe' if removed from dealership without repair. How does this 'just happen'?
