"TAKATA RECALL".....I PURCHASED THIS CAR 2 YEARS AGO AND THE SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT HAS ALWAYS BEEN LIT. I JUST HAD MY OIL CHANGED TODAY AND THE REPAIR SHOP ADVISED ME THAT THERE WAS AN ERROR CODE WHICH MEANS DEFECTIVE AIR BAG. ALSO THE DRIVER SEAT BELT BUCKLE SHOWED DEFECTIVE. YESTERDAY I RECEIVED 2 DIFFERENT EMAILS FROM NHTSA FOR 2 RECALLS (#19V499 AND #19V501). NO LETTER WAS RECEIVED FROM HONDA YET BUT I HATE TO WAIT FOR A LETTER TO ARRIVE AS THAT COULD TAKE 60 DAYS, THEN WOULD HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE DEALER TO GET THE PARTS AND THEN GET AN APPOINTMENT. THIS SITUATION IS LIFE-THREATENING. IS THERE ANY WAY TO SPEED THIS PROCESS UP? ALSO THE REPAIR SHOP STATED THAT A LOT OF THE AIR BAGS THAT HAVE BEEN REPLACED, ARE NOW BEING RECALLED.

SIMILAR ISSUE AS REPORT 10659813. THE AIRBAG/SEATBELT LIGHT ABOVE THE GAS GAUGE RANDOMLY STAYS LIT. DOESN'T HAPPEN EACH TIME THE VEHICLE IS USED, AND OCCURS MORE IN COLD WEATHER THAN WARM. DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED SEVERAL TIMES AND EACH TIME STATES THAT THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING UNLESS WE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THEM WHILE THE LIGHT WAS ON. THIS SITUATION DOES NOT HAPPEN CONSISTENTLY ENOUGH TO ALLOW US TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON. ALSO SPEED CONTROL DOES NOT WORK!

I HAVE 2005 HONDA ACCORD WHICH IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE TAKATA RECALL BUT I HAVE A AIRBAG LIGHT THAT GOES OFF AND ON. AS A RESULT, MY PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT LOCKED UP WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY SAID THAT THE ENGINE READ A CODE THAT SAID IT WAS INVOLVED IN REAR COLLISION AND IT WAS NOT. THEY ALSO STATED THAT THE SEAT BELT COULD HAVE LOCKED UP BECAUSE THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON. SOMEONE WAS SITTING IN THE SEAT AND HAD TO MANEUVER TO GET OUT OF IT. THE DEALERSHIP HAS TOLD ME IT WILL COST $800 AND UP TO REPAIR THE SEAT BELT (AND IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE LIFETIME WARRANTY FOR SEAT BELTS)BUT WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO HONDA THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS NOT ON AT THAT MOMENT SO THEY TOLD ME IT WAS NOTHING THEY CAN DO UNLESS IT WAS ON. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP ALSO TOLD ME THAT IF I HAVE A FAULTY AIRBAG THAT MY SEAT BELT MAY CONTINUE TO LOCK UP. I AM HESITANT TO FIX THE SEAT BELT BECAUSE OF THE AIRBAG SITUATION.

THE CLUSTER LIGHTS AND THE DOME LIGHT WILL GET DIM. THE DOME LIGHT DOES WHEN YOU OPEN THE DOORS. THE CLUSTER LIGHTS WILL WHILE THE HEAD LIGHTS ARE ON. THE LIGHTS ON THE RADIO DO THE SAME. THE RADIO WILL MAKE A LOUD NOISE AND STOP PLAYING UNTIL YOU TURN OFF AND TURN BACK ON.THE WIRING TO BACK SPEAKERS IS PUT IN WRONG DONT WORK AT ALL. THE SEAT BELTS WILL LOCK WHEN TRYING TO PULL THEM AND IT DONT MATTER IF ITS IN MOTION OR STATIONARY.

I RECENTLY RECEIVED AN AIRBAG NOTICE TO HAVE THE PASSENGER AIR BAG REPLACE AT THE DEALER. I PROMPTLY DELIVERED MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TEXAS HONDA OF AUSTIN, TX. AFTER THE AIR BAG WAS REPLACED AND THEY UPDATED THE COMPUTER, I AM NOW GETTING AN SRS WARNING LIGHT WHICH IS INTERMITTING. AND ACCORDING TO MY MANUAL TAKE IT TO YOUR DEALER. WHEN I REPORTED IT TO THE DEALER THEY ADVISED THAT THE TWO HAD NO RELEVANCE. THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS AND THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. ACCORDING TO HONDA'S SITE THE SEAT WIRING HARNESS SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED TO AVOID THIS.

SRS INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED UPON UNBUCKLING DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT WITH ENGINE RUNNING. SRS LIGHT WOULD REMAIN ON AFTER PLACING SEAT BELT BACK INTO THE BUCKLE. THE SRS LIGHT WOULD ALSO ILLUMINATE AT RANDOM WHILE DRIVING WITH SEAT BELT IN BUCKLE. THE ONLY TEMPORARY SOLUTION WAS TO STOP/START THE ENGINE. HONDA'S DIAGNOSIS WAS A FAULTY SEAT BELT BUCKLE REQUIRING A COMPLETE REPLACEMENT WHICH RESOLVED THE ISSUE. HOWEVER, THE DEALER WOULD NOT HONOR THE LIFETIME SEAT BELT WARRANTY FOR THIS REPAIR. *TR

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 TO FIX IT SAYING THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I NEEDED MY CAR SOON FOR MY TRANSPORTATION SO I WENT TO MY TRUSTED MECHANIC TO REPAIR THE AIRBAG AND HE INFORMED ME IT WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE BECUASE THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG COULD DEPLOY AT ANYTIME WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH OR INJURY OR FATALITY. I WOULD APPRECIATE A FULL REFUND FROM HONDA FOR COST OF THE REPAIR AS IT CAME OUT TO BE $3,374.68. THIS COST IS VERY HIGH AND I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS SAFETY MALFUNCTION. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND I AM VERY UPSET THAT HONDA DOES NOT WANT TO FIX WHAT COULD HAVE POSSIBLY CAUSED A PERSON HARM. THANK YOU *TR UPDATED 09/05/12*LJ UPDATED 09/10/2012 *JS

THE SEAT BELTS IN THE 2005 HONDA ACCORD HYBRID PROVIDED NO SAFETY IN A COLLISION. THE AIRBAGS ALSO FAILED TO DEPLOY IN THE SAME COLLISION. I WAS THE PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT OF A 2005 HONDA ACCORD HYBRID WHEN WE REAR ENDED A VOLVO S-80. THE VOLVO THEN STRUCK AN ALTIMA. THE ACCORD STRUCK THE VOLVO WITH CONSIDERABLE FORCE. THE VOLVO'S TRUNK WAS DAMAGED AND WOULD NOT OPEN. THE STRUCTURAL BAR IN THE ACCORD PROTECTING THE RADIATOR WAS ALSO BEND BEYOND REPAIR. I HAD THE PASSENGER SEAT AS FAR BACK AS IT WOULD GO AND WAS WEARING MY SEAT BELT. DURING THE COLLISION MY KNEES STRUCK THE FRONT DASH AND SWELLED. THE DRIVER ALSO SUFFERED SEVERE KNEE PAIN MOSTLY LIKELY FROM STRIKING HER KNEES AGAINST THE DASH OR STEERING COLUMN. I BELIEVE THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. EVEN IF THE BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY THEN THE SEAT BELTS SHOULD HAVE HELD. THE SEAT BELTS IN THE 2005 HONDA ACCORD HYBRID PROVIDED NO SAFETY IN A COLLISION.
