2009 Honda Civic Air Bags

THE SRS LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY COMES ON DISPLAY ON THE DASHBOARD. HONDA DEALERSHIP RAN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST TWICE AND DETERMINED IT WAS A FAULTY CABLE REEL. THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT AND HAS NEVER HAD AN AIRBAG DEPLOYED. HONDA EXPLAINED THAT THE CABLE REEL IS A "BAD PART", AND QUOTED REPAIR ESTIMATES AT 700 DOLLARS FOR PART AND SERVICE. HONDA WARNED THAT THERE IS A 50 PERCENT CHANCE THAT THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF AN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT. HONDA COMPANY REFUSES TO COVER THE COST AND SERVICE OF REPLACING THE CABLE REEL DUE TO EXPIRED WARRANTY FOR AIRBAG PARTS (2-YEAR WARRANTY). AFTER MUCH RESEARCH, IT APPEARS THAT MANY HONDA AUTOMOBILES (ESPECIALLY HONDA CIVICS MANUFACTURED AROUND 2009) ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A CRITICAL SAFETY ISSUE AND LIABILITY FOR THE COMPANY TO SELL CARS AND ADVERTISE THEIR PRODUCTS AS DURABLE, WHEN IN FACT SAFETY FEATURES BECOME FAULTY AFTER A FEW YEARS. IT IS CONCERNING THAT HONDA IS SELLING AND MARKETING PRODUCTS WITH COMPROMISED SAFETY SYSTEMS THAT BECOME DEFECTIVE AFTER A COUPLE YEARS OF USE. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT THROUGH HONDA, AND I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE ISSUE INVESTIGATED BY NHTSA.

TAKATA INFLATORS. THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER TO BE CHECKED OUT AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE ISSUE APPEARS TO BE BE THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG.

TAKATA AIRBAG. CONTACTED DEALER MONTHS AGO TO SCHEDULE FIX AND REMEDY STILL NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL. HONDA GAVE NOTIFICATION IN JULY 2016 THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. "HONDA SUGGESTS THAT YOU AVOID HAVING A PASSENGER SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SEAT UNTIL THE RECALL REPAIR CAN BE PERFORMED." THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. HONDA SAID THAT "THE REMEDY PARTS NEEDED TO CONDUCT PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR RECALLS WILL BECOME AVAILABLE IN LATE SUMMER/FALL OF 2016." IT IS NOW NOVEMBER AND PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. HONDA NEEDS TO PROVIDE A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE IF THEY CANNOT PROVIDE THE NECESSARY REPAIRS IN A TIMELY MANNER.

TAKATA RECALL - I WAS INFORMED IN MAY THAT MY CAR WAS PART OF THE TAKATA RECALL. THE LETTER STATED THERE SHOULD BE REPLACEMENT PARTS IN BY THE END OF THE SUMMER. I LIVE IN HOUSTON, TEXAS, A VERY HOT AND HUMID CITY. I WAS INFORMED THAT CARS IN HOT HUMID CITIES ARE MOST AT RISK OF THE BAGS GOING OFF WHEN THEY SHOULD NOT. CONSIDERING I LIVE IN SUCH A HOT, HUMID CITY IS IS VERY CONCERNING THAT IT IS NOVEMBER AND HONDA HAS STILL NOT INFORMED ME THAT A REPLACEMENT PART IS IN SO I CAN GET MY CAR FIXED. IT SHOULD NOT TAKE THIS LONG TO REMEDY A DANGEROUS AIR BAG DEFECT. IF I'M AT A DANGER DRIVING MY CAR AT ALL I WANT TO KNOW AND I WANT THIS FIXED.

I NEED THE CAR FIXED, SO MY PASSENGER WILL BE SAFE.
