Driving south on i 81 at approximately mm 167.3. Heard a very loud noise, thought i might have had a blow out. There was a burning smell so i thought my car was on fire and i pulled off on the left hand side of the interstate. No flat, nothing burning, no damage to car. Got back in my car and realized passenger side airbags from front to back had deployed, that is what i was smelling but at the time i did not…

Honda replaced the takata drivers side airbag on my 2005 honda accord in january 2015 under the takata airbag recall. However, honda will not replace the takata passenger side airbag in my car. I do not live in a high humidity state. I am very concerned about this decision by honda not to replace the passenger side airbag as there are news reports of injury to a passenger from a takata passenger side air bag in…

My airbag indicator warning light came on at about 195k miles. I called the dealership asking if they had a recall open and said they did not. They thought maybe it was a sensor. Now that i see the reason for the latest recall, covering 2001-2003 whose takata airbags we declared at risk, particularly in high humidity states. I can't help but to think that with all the recalls before and after my model year, coupled…

I have a honda accord 2005 and have noticed the airbag light continues to light up showing there is some defect. I could never find a recall on this issue and the light have come on for over a year now. I am concerned because we are military and now with the airbag recall issue i have found out talking with the corporate honda dealer they are only getting the vehicle location from local dmv offices. The problem is…

Nothing happened. During the past few months, the airbag (red light) indicator light comes on the dashboard warning system and will not go off. This is intermittent, but certainly a cause for concern based on the recent recalls. Who will fix this for me? *tr

I have seen the recalls for takata air bags due to injuries and deaths once deployed of which my model car is on the list of recalled vehicles. However, i do not live in one of the states that is on the recall list, so my vin is not on the recall list. Upon further investigation on the issue, i found an article on this website,…

I think the point of filed complaints should not only be reflective but proactive. That way, hopefully, both the feds and the manufacturers can get ahead of issues before they come tragic and/or costlier. That being said, i currently drive a 2005 honda accord which is on the recall list regarding the takata air bag flaw. There is no recall though, simply because my car was not registered in one of the 'humid states'…

My 16 year old son was driving to school on the highway. The vehicle speed was approximately 65. For no reason at all, the passenger side airbags exploded causing a quick reaction under extreme fear. Honda has been notified but the local dealer "southpoint honda" has been rude & accusatory that honda is not at fault. The honda recall for airbags is expanding, yet no help. His car is unsafe to drive and is parked.…

My complaint is based on the risk of death or serious injury posed by the potentially faulty airbags in all 2005 honda accords. Nhtsa is permitting honda to use my nys residency as reason to exclude my car from the recall list. The assertion that certain cars may be more at risk for failure based on geographic regions may or may not be a rational basis for prioritizing a service list. It should not, however, be the…

My daughter rear ended another car at very low speed causing minimal damage to the front bumper and a slight dent in the hood. The impact caused the airbag to deploy, or more accurately to "detonate" sending hot metal and plastic shrapnel into the cabin. As a result of this minor accident my daughter sustained severe burns, bruises and abrasions on her arms and legs. Honda admits that the airbag was not designed…
