2008 Honda Civic Air Bags

TAKATA RECALL, I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO USE THE CAR FOR SIX MONTHS AND NO ONE WILL REPLACE THE AIR BAG. THIS HAS CAUSED A SEVERE FINANCIAL PROBLEM .

I RECEIVED A LETTER IN JULY STATING THE RECALL FOR THE AIR BAGS PROPELLANT WAFERS BEING DEFECTED. I HAVE CALLED AMERICAN HONDA FOR THE PAST WEEK EVERYDAY TRYING TO TALK WITH A CASE MANAGER ABOUT MY SPECIFIC NEEDS OF ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION. I CURRENTLY WORK FOR NEURO COMMUNITY CARE WHO IS CONTRACTED BY WOUNDED WARRIORS. WE CURRENTLY SERVE OVER 500 WARRIORS WHO HAVE BRAIN INJURIES ACROSS THE US. MY DAILY JOB IS TO TRANSPORTS WARRIORS WITH BRAIN INJURIES TO MEDICAL APPOINTMENTS, STORES, AND COMMUNITY OUTINGS. TO MANY IT IS THEIR ONLY SOURCE OF GETTING OUT OF THE HOUSE. FOR MANY SUFFER FROM PTSD. THIS JOB IS MY ONLY SOURCE OF INCOME AND NOT HAVING A SAFE VEHICLE TO USE FOR MY WORK IS UNACCEPTABLE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD EVERY TIME I CALL THAT A CASE MANAGER HAS TO CALL ME BACK, BUT AFTER A WEEK I HAVE HEARD NOTHING. MY CLIENTS AND MY EMPLOYMENT ARE SUFFERING. I NEED YOUR HELP IN HELPING ME GETTING HOLD OF A CASE MANAGER FROM AMERICAN HONDA WHO CAN AUTHORIZE THE RENTAL OF A SAFE VEHICLE WHILE I WAIT FOR MY HONDA TO GET FIXED. I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER (LEITH HONDA IN RALEIGH) AND THEIR RESPONSE WAS THEY THINKS THE PARTS WILL BE IN WITHIN 2-3 WEEKS, BUT IT IS JUST A ESTIMATE. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE HELP ME! I AM AFRAID OF THE INJURIES FOR MY CLIENTS AS WELL AS MY FAMILY.

TAKATA RECALL THE AIR BAG CAUSE ME FACIAL INJURYS IN A CAR ACCIDENT AND BODY INJURYS.

TAKATA RECALL: I PURCHASED THIS CAR TO TRANSPORT MYSELF, SPOUSE AND 3 CHILDREN. SINCE BEING NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL, I CAN ONLY TRANSPORT 4 OF US, SINCE BY HONDA'S OWN INSTRUCTIONS ON THE RECALL, "HONDA SUGGESTS YOU SHOULD AVOID HAVING A PASSENGER SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SEAT UNTIL THE RECALL REPAIR HAS BEEN PERFORMED." I REQUESTED A LOANER CAR FROM HONDA ON 7/23/16 AT 1-888-234-2138 AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE FORWARDED TO THE "CASE MANAGEMENT DEPT". NO CONTACT FROM HONDA. I CALLED AGAIN ON 8/4/16 AND WAS TOLD BY KIA THAT THERE IS NO DIRECT PHONE # TO CASE MANAGEMENT, THAT I HAVE NO ASSIGNED CASE # FOR THE LOANER REQUEST AND THAT SHE COULD NOT TELL ME WHEN I WOULD BE CONTACTED BY THE CASE MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT. THIS UNSAFE CAR AND LACK OF RESPONSE BY HONDA IS CREATING A BURDEN FOR MY FAMILY. I NOTIFIED KIA THAT I WOULD BE MAKING A COMPLAINT TO NHTSA.

TAMARA RECALL - GETTING THE RUN A ROUND ON GETTING THE REPLACEMENT OF THE AIRBAGS. FIRST, WAS NEVER NOTIFIED, NOW THEY ARE TELLING US THAT ONLY THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS AFFECT AND THAT SEEMS VERY STRANGE THAT IT WOULD HAVE DIFFERENT MATERIALS THAN THE DRIVER AIRBAG. VERY UNHAPPY AT THE WAY HONDA IS HANDLING THIS. TELLING US THAT IT TAKES 60 TO 90 DAYS TO GET THE PARTS THAT SEEMS EXTREME. THE WHOLE SITUATION SEEMS LIKE A COVER UP WITH THE PUBLIC BE PUT IN DANGER.

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR MONTHS ON THIS RECALL AFTER NOTIFYING RUSTY WALLACE HONDA IN THE DALLAS AREA AND HAVE HAD NO FURTHER CONTACT.

THE RED DASHBOARD "WARNING LIGHT" FOR MY AIRBAGS STAYS ON ALMOST ALL THE TIME. ONCE IN AWHILE IT GOES OFF, BUT THEN GOES ON AGAIN, FOR NO REASON I CAN SEE. MY MECHANIC HAS TRIED TO "RESET" IT AFTER ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND CANNOT. I BOUGHT THIS CAR AS A "CERTIFIED" USED HONDA VEHICLE. IT WAS THREE YEARS OLD AND HAD ABOUT 25,000 MILES WHEN I BOUGHT IT. IT HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR THE ENTIRE TIME I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE. I TOOK IT INTO HONDA TO HAVE IT REPAIRED SOON AFTER I BOUGHT IT AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD HAVE TO DO A "DIAGNOSTIC" FIRST WHICH WOULD COST ME ABOUT $ 200. THAT WOULD ONLY TELL THEM WHAT WAS WRONG AND WOULD NOT NECESSARILY FIX THE PROBLEM. SINCE THE LIGHT SOMETIMES WENT OFF, I FIGURED IT WAS JUST A PROBLEM WITH THE LIGHT AND NOT WITH THE SYSTEM ITSELF AND JUST IGNORED IT. LAST WEEK I HEARD A NEWS STORY ON TELEVISION AND THEN SAW AN ARTICLE IN THE L.A. TIMES WHICH STATED THAT NHTSA IS NOW INVESTIGATING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM IN 2008 HONDA ACCORDS. NHTSA HAS RECEIVED 19 COMPLAINTS, INCLUDING A CONSUMER WHO WAS IN A 50 MPH ACCIDENT WHERE THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. THE ARTICLE STATES THAT THIS IS THOUGHT TO BE A DEFECT WITH THE "AIR BAG CONTROL COMPUTER MODEL". THE DEFECT CAUSES THE AIR BAG STATUS INDICATOR LAMP TO ILLUMINATE AND THE AIR BAG SYSTEM IS DISABLED UNTIL IT IS REPAIRED. THE ESTIMATED COST TO REPLACE THE ACCORD UNIT IT $ 455. I AM SURE MY 2008 HONDA CIVIC HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. I DID NOT KNOW UNTIL I READ THIS ARTICLE THAT MY AIR BAG IS NOT OPERABLE IF THE STATUS LIGHT IS ON. I REQUEST THAT 2008 HONDA CIVICS BE INVESTIGATED ALONG WITH 2008 HONDA ACCORDS FOR THIS PROBLEM, FOR POSSIBLE RECALL.

MY SON WAS DRIVING MY 2008 HONDA CIVIC TO COLLEGE ON HIGHWAY 44 HEADING WEST AT APPROXIMATELY 2:10 PM TOWARD JOPLIN MO. WHILE DRIVING WEST ON 44, THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG SUDDENLY DEPLOYED. MY SON SAID HE HEARD A LOUD BANG AND HIS HEAD WAS PUSHED BACK INTO THE HEADREST. WHEN THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED HE IMMEDIATELY SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES AND ENDED OFF THE ROAD ON THE LEFT SIDE IN THE MEDIAN. HE WAS SHOCKED AND OVER WHELMED THAT THIS OCCURRED BECAUSE HE DID NOT HIT ANYTHING. A HELPFUL PERSON STOPPED AND HELPED REMOVE THE DEPLOYED AIRBAG. SOON AFTERWARD, STATE POLICE ARRIVED AFTER ANOTHER MOTORIST CALLED AND CONFIRMED NO DAMAGE OCCURRED TO THE CAR TO WARRANT DEPLOYMENT OF AN AIRBAG. MY SON THEN CONTINUED ON TO JOPLIN. THE FOLLOWING DAY, MY SON TOOK THE CAR TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP IN JOPLIN. AFTER INSPECTION, THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMED THAT A SMALL HOLE IN THE FRONT FENDER CAUSE THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY...THEY FOUND GRASS AND DEBRIS FROM THE HIGHWAY MEDIAN AROUND THE DAMAGED AREA. THEY WERE VERY UNCOOPERATIVE AND MORE WILLING TO BLAME THE CAUSE ON MY SON RATHER THAN A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG SYSTEM THAT IS KNOWN TO BE A PROBLEM IN SEVERAL OTHER MODELS. INDEED, WHILE THEY ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE CAUSE AND LOOKING FOR OTHER REASONS. MEANWHILE, WE ARE MORE CONCERNED AND LUCKY THAT MY SON DID NOT GET KILLED IN THIS INCIDENT! WHAT ABOUT OTHER SONS, DAUGHTERS AND LOVED ONES DRIVING THESE TIME BOMBS...ARE THEY GOING TO BE THIS LUCKY? THE CAR SUFFERED NO COLLISION AND YET THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED WHICH IS THE FACT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP IS IGNORING. I AM MORE INCLINED TO BELIEVE THE AIRBAG SYSTEM IS DEFECTIVE CONSIDERING THE HISTORY OF THE AIRBAG SYSTEMS. WHAT MORE WILL IT TAKE FOR THIS ISSUE TO BE RESOLVED, MORE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENTS AND MORE DEATHS?

I WAS PULLING OUT OF A WALMART PARKING LOT THROUGH A 4 WAY INTERSECTION ONTO CENTER OF NEW ENGLAND BOULEVARD (COVENTRY, RI). THIS IS A STRIP ROAD USED FOR ACCESSING THE DEVELOPED SHOPPING AREA BUT NOT A MAIN ROAD. I WAS INCREASING SPEED FROM A STOPPED POSITION AND TURNING LEFT, DID NOT EXCEED 10MPH AND WAS ALREADY THROUGH THE TURN AIMING STRAIGHT WHEN MY PASSENGER AIRBAG EXPLODED WITHOUT INCIDENT. I DID NOT CALL POLICE BECAUSE THERE WAS NO INCIDENT TO WARRANT THEIR ARRIVAL AND I WAS ON MY WAY TO AN INTERNATIONAL FLIGHT AT BOSTON LOGAN AIRPORT SO MY INSURANCE LOOPHOLE CLAIMS I HAVE TO FILE A CLAIM WITHIN 7 DAYS TO VALIDATE A CLAIM. MY INTERNATIONAL TRIP WAS 18 DAYS IN VIETNAM AND I DIDN'T TRY TO FILE AN INSURANCE CLAIM UNTIL MY RETURN; MORE THAN 7 DAYS AFTER THE INCIDENT. NO PRIOR ACCIDENTS, DAMAGE CLAIMS ETC ON THE VEHICLE.

THE AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT ON THE CAR'S DASH PANEL CAME "ON" WITHOUT ANY EVENT TRIGGERING IT. MY LOCAL REPAIR SHOP, PLAYA WEST AUTOMOTIVE (310-822-9115) INVESTIGATED & RECEIVED A "32-10" OPEN CIRCUIT INDICATION FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG, SHOWING THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT SYSTEM WAS DE-ACTIVATED. THIS EXPLAINS THE LIGHT COMING "ON". THEIR INVESTIGATION FOUND A FRAYED WIRING HARNESS UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE SHOP CALLED THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER & WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A REPAIR ADVISORY ABOUT THIS ISSUE, BUT THE HONDA DEALER REFUSED TO DO ANY REPAIR TO FIX IT B/C THE CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. THIS REPAIR IS GOING TO COST ME OVER $700 FOR PARTS & LABOR B/C THE PASSENGER SEAT HAS TO BE REMOVED TO ACCESS THE WIRING. CAN YOU PLEASE INVESTIGATE WHETHER OR NOT A SAFETY RECALL IS WARRANTED FOR THIS HAZARD. THE ONLY THING THAT MIGHT BE DIFFERENT ABOUT MY CAR IS THAT I HAVE A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. OTHERWISE, IT IS IN GOOD CONDITION, WITH RELATIVELY LOW MILEAGE. I RARELY CARRY A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT. THANK YOU & HAPPY HOLIDAYS. *TR

I HEARD OVER THE TELEVISION AND RADIO THAT THE AIRBAGS ON MY CAR ARE UNSAFE IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT - THAT UNSAFE PARTICLES ARE RELEASED IN THE CAR CAUSING HEALTH PROBLEMS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT A UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE AND THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY.

THE SRS LIGHT TURNED ON INTERMITTENTLY FOR A FEW MONTHS BUT LAST MONDAY THE SRS AIRBAG INDICATOR STAYED ON. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY FOUND OUT THAT THE SRS FLOOR WIRE HARNESS NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER IS TELLING ME THAT THIS ISSUE IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND THAT I HAVE TO PAY OVER $1000 TO FIX IT. A WIRE HARNESS RELATED TO SRS AIRBAG, THE BIGGEST SAFETY CONCERN FOR ANY CAR MANUFACTURER HAS A WIRE HARNESS DEFECT AND IT IS NOT COVERED. THIS GRAVE ISSUE IS CLEARLY A DEFECT IN MANY OF HONDA'S MODELS AND THEY REFUSE TO COVER THE COST OF REPAIRING IT? *TR
