I was involved in accident due to the weather. I slide off ice and crash into a guard rail and light pole and my vehicle failed to deploy the airbags. I was not going fast due to weather. The seat belt worked probably which jammed after the impact, but my airbag warning light appear on dash board, but no airbags deployed which worries me. It-€™s in a collision shop now getting observed.

On 9/30/2022 My son was driving his car on the freeway. The truck in front of him slammed on their brakes suddenly. My son slammed on his brakes but slid into the back of the truck in front of him. The car sustained moderate front end damage and was not able to be driven. The airbags do not deploy and a "airbag malfunction" light came on in his car. My son sustained only minor injuries and did not require medical assistance. I spoke with Honda regarding the malfunction light and the airbags nor deploying and was told that was normal which does NOT seem right.

On 10/15/2022 our 2015 Honda Civic Coupe vehicle was in a front end collision at 70 mph. NONE of the airbags deployed. The vehicle is at my insurance company wrecking yard and would be available for inspection, if needed. My 16 year old son had injuries including a concussion and whiplash due to the air bags not deploying. The police, firefighters, paramedics, hospital doctors, and my insurance company ALL say that the airbags should have absolutely deployed. There were no warning lamps or messages that alerted us there was any concern before the accident.

ABS BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE AND UNABLE TO STEER VEHICHLE CAUSING ACCIDENT. FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY FOR FRONT PASSENGER. If THE PASSENGER DID NOT MOVE HIS HEAD WHEN HE DID AND DRIVER THEY BOTH LIKELY WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED IN THE ACCIDENT. WHEN THIS VEHICHLE WAS PURCHASED AT THE CARMAX DEALERSHIP LESS THAN 60 DAYS AGO, IT WAS ASSURED OF NO ISSUES, HOWEVER IT DID HAVE LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNINGS AND THEY PUT AIR IN TIRES AT THE TIME OF TEST DRIVE, I HAVE READ SOME PEOPLE HAVE HAD LOW TIRE WARNING / ABS ISSUES PRIOR TO ABS FAILURES AND WISH THIS TO BE INVESTIGATED. THIS IS SUSPICIOUS.

I was leaving work hopped into my car and started driving. About 20 minutes of being on the road my passenger seat airbag deployed and the roof curtain one for passenger side as well. I got out of my car to inspect for damage found none. The only lights on the dash were the airbag light. I am planning to take it to Honda and file a claim the body shop said it's an expensive repair, but I did nothing wrong.

The contact owned a 2015 Honda Civic. The contact stated that as her son was merging onto a highway at 25 MPH, an SUV sideswiped the vehicle which sent the vehicle into a tailspin. As the vehicle continued to spin, her son lost all control of the vehicle as the rear bumper hit a cement barrier. The airbags did not deploy upon impact. Her son was cut out of the vehicle to the accident; however, he did not sustain any injuries or need medical attention. A police report was filed at the scene. The vehicle was destroyed due to the accident and was towed to an independent tow yard. The dealer nor the manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle was a total loss. The failure mileage was approximately 130,000

Intermittent warning light for problem with air bag. The light comes on and can stay on for a while, then it will go out and stay off for a while. I don't know if there is a problem with the air bag or with the light.

Since the summer of 2020, my airbag system warning light had been sporadically coming on as I was driving. I attributed simply to putting a heavy item in the passenger seat, I.e., a purse. Then, within the last two week, starting around November, it came on more often, everytime I drove. G dealer diagnosed it today as needing an airbag assembly kit due to code B0001 13. The dealer indicates it will cost $1,433.86. Plus, I wascharges $120 for the diagnosis. American Honda co. Refuses to help me with the cost. I have no other transportation and am a retired senior citizen.

I was driving on a 3 lane highway and had slowed down with hazards on when I was rear ended moving about 7 mph. I suffered severe injuries including a grand mal seizure and 2 brain bleeds because I bounced my head off the steering wheel as well as my passenger hitting her head on the dash and causing her to blackout because the car airbags did not go off when we got hit by someone driving 65 mph. The car had been hit so hard it got hit into a bush causing frontal damage to and severe rear driver damage.

Intermittent check air bag system warning. Randomly comes on while driving. Started about June 2019. Took in to dealer to check but they could not find an error code. Warning did not show again until May 2020. Has happened more often since but is still intermittent. While the warning was on took to dealer and had it checked while car was still running. Read an error code of B0001:13, open or increased resistance in the driver's airbag first inflator. Warning has not come on since then. Made an appointment with dealer to check system again. Code seems to reset and clear on its own.

During 2019, the airbag SRS code B0001-13 appeared. I made 2 visits to walser Honda in burnville. Mn to correct the problem. Dec. 2nd I was charged $79.26 and Dec. 16, 2019 $148.51. They replaced the reel cable in the system, but it didn't fix the problem of the error message listed above. I brought the vehicle in March 6, 2020 because the same warning light is on non-stop. I was told to replace SRS unit for $1100. The dealership offered to participate yet I would have to pay $500 deductible. Honda's auto touchline community notes that my car isn't the only one with this airbag sensor problem.@marshall siddons "have seen quite a few of these cars - '12-'14 Civics (not sure if I've ever seen a '15 though)since the cars were new.....the driver's airbag seems to be the fix." My vehicle is in good shape with 30,000 miles. This is a defective airbag and likely a problem for other Honda Civic owners. Shouldn't it be a factory recall? today, I spoke to natalie in american Honda customer service and the company declines to pay for this repair. I request american Honda motor co. Pay for the full installation of new SRS airbag unit at no cost to me and reimburse me for $227.77. This is a manufacture defect.

My airbags did not deploy when I was rear ended with my seatbelt on when I was stopped at a stoplight on a busy Suburban street. My airbag light goes off and on at times. I was told fixing the airbag problem was not covered. Why is that when takata B bags were reportedly recalled for the 2015 Honda Civic.

Tanaka recall, I haven't received any notice from Honda about the airbags! a recent accident deployed the airbags and the car is a loss of total! do I get any restitution before the accident happened? the car made a left turn when the other motorist hit the side of the front bumper as my car was going into motion on a main street
