2001 Honda CR-V Air Bags

Was involved in a motor vehicle crash and airbags did not deploy properly

Wanting it fixed , just got the car and looked it up and seen that it had a recall

The SRS light has come on in our 2001 Honda CR-V. Diagnostics at the dealership revealed that the control module is defective, and Honda does not cover its replacement. This is a safety issue, as the airbags will not deploy with the SRS light on. Honda should be responsible for this. Please issue a recall. It appears this issue has been occurring for several years.

The contact owned a 2001 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving at 25 mph, another vehicle had run a stop sign and the contact's vehicle crashed into the rear driver side door of the other vehicle. None of the air bags deployed upon impact. No medical attention was received. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a gas station. The insurance company had not inspected the vehicle to deem it totaled. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. Prior to the failure, the vehicle had a NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V027000 (Air Bags) recall repaired by the dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 146,000. The VIN was unavailable.

NHTSA RECALL 20V-027. HONDA HAS NOT REMEDIED THE DEFECT WITHIN 60 DAYS FROM THE DATE I FIRST CONTACTED THE DEALER FOR A REPAIR APPOINTMENT. I FIRST CONTACTED HONDA ON 8-19-2020, AND THEY HAD ME TAKE THE CAR IN ON 10-24-2020 TO TAKE PICTURES. THEY INDICATED THAT THEY WOULD CALL ME BACK TO HAVE ME COME BACK IN TO DO THE REPAIR, BUT EACH TIME THAT I CALL TO CHECK, THEY SAY "WE WILL CALL YOU WHEN WE ARE READY." TODAY IS 1-20-2021.

MARCH 2020 I RECEIVED THE NHTSA RECALL 20V-027 AND HAVE FOLLOWED-UP SEVERAL TIMES WITH EAST COAST HONDA, MYRTLE BEACH, SC FOR A REPAIR APPOINTMENT. EACH TIME I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. HOWEVER, THIS INTERNET LINK ADVISES THAT PARTS ARE AVAILABLE: HTTPS://WWW.CONSUMERREPORTS.ORG/RECALLS/WILL-THE-TAKATA-AIRBAG-RECALL-EVER-END/ AROUND JUNE 2020 I NOTICED THAT MY ****** SRS INDICATOR LIGHT STAYS ON THE WHOLE TIME THE CAR IS RUNNING AND I'M CONCERNED THAT THE SRS SYSTEM WILL NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY AND/OR INJUR THE DRIVER. ***** THESE REPAIRS MUST BE EXPEDITED!

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL FROM HONDA IN FEBRUARY OF 2020. THE RECALL NOTICE STATES THAT MY 2001 HONDA CRV IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH HONDA SINCE MARCH 9, 2020 AND THEY HAVE NOT OFFERED A SOLUTION, UPDATES, OR INFORMATION CONCERNING THIS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY TWO EMPLOYEES THAT THE PART TO FIX THIS ISSUE IS NOT AVAILABLE AND IS NO LONGER MANUFACTURED AT THIS TIME. ONE EMPLOYEE WENT SO FAR AS TO TELL ME THAT IT IS NOT AN ISSUE AND MY VEHICLE IS NOT UNSAFE. THIS IS UNTRUE. THE RECALL NOTICE STATES, "DUE TO A MANUFACTURING ISSUE, THE INFLATOR INSIDE THE DRIVER FRONTAL AIRBAG MODULE MAY ABSORB MOISTURE, WHICH MAY CAUSE THE DRIVER FRONTAL AIRBAG TO MALFUNCTION IN A CRASH WHERE THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS. THE AIRBAG COULD UNDER-INFLATE DURING DEPLOYMENT, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY TO THE DRIVER. THE AIRBAG INFLATOR COULD ALSO RUPTURE DURING DEPLOYMENT, WITH METAL FRAGMENTS POSSIBLY STRIKING THE DRIVER OR PASSENGERS, INCREASING THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH." THEY ALSO REFUSE TO GIVE A DEADLINE FOR THIS ISSUE TO BE RESOLVED BY. I AM WRITING THIS COMPLAINT AS OF AUGUST 8,2020 WHILST SITTING HERE WITH HONDA ON THE PHONE.
