    Air Bags · Frontal · Seat Belts

    I was driving like any other day on the freeway and my passenger airbag deployed for no apparent reason- there was no accident at all. Luckily there was no one in the passenger seat. After contacting honda they said they would send a representative to the local dealership to check to take care of the repair but the honda dealership in el cerrito ca did not want to pay for the repair and wanted to charge full amount…

    Frontal · Sensor/Control Module

    The seat position sensor (sps) wiring harness in my 2005 honda accord is broken causing the air bag warning light to be illuminated and the sps to fail. Please note that this symptom is identical to that addressed by recall number: 07v001000, which applied to certain 2004 and 2005 honda accords. However, my vin number is not included in the honda recall. I believe that the omission of my 2005 honda accord's vin from…

    Frontal · Sensor/Control Module

    The airbag light illuminated on my 2005 honda accord. Took to dealer who said it was the driver seat module and would cost $300. Checked previous honda recalls and the same complaint was recalled for 81000 cars but mine wasn't listed (recall 07v001000 there are a few other complaints indicating the same problem and as this is an important safety issue, perhaps honda should extend its recall to include my vehicle. I…

    The airbag warning light on my 2005 honda accord ex-l was illuminated. I took the vehicle to my honda dealer and they replaced the wiring subharness. This was the same symptom, issue and resolution as nhtsa campaign #06e064000.

The volvo's trunk was damaged and would not open. The structural bar in the accord protecting…
