2007 Honda Accord Airbags Problems

Owner-reported complaints naming the airbag system, filed with NHTSA

Data refreshed

Airbags reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

In November 2019 my key fob became inoperable and I called a local Conicelli Honda dealer in Conshohocken, PA to see if they could replace it. They said they could replace it so I took my 2007 Honda Accord there to purchase a new key fob. When I spoke to the service person she informed me that I would have to get the airbag recall issue addressed also and that it would be no charge to have that done. So I agreed. Now years later I'm still receiving the airbag recall notices. Can you help me?

I have taken my car for the airbag recalls in the past. A few weeks ago, after taking the car to a car wash, the airbag icon came on my dash. I had it put on a diagnostic machine and it showed AIR BAG:FRONTAL:DRIVER SIDE:INFLATOR MODULE. The local Honda dealership will not fix it unless I pay out of my pocket. I don't feel like I should have to pay for a repair and I'm concerned that the airbag won't deploy in an accident.

Airbag light is on and caused a failed safety inspection. Dealer told me the SRS unit/controller/module needed to be replaced and will cost ~ $1k even though there is a bulletin (TSB 20-015) that a Honda representative said covers the problem. The Honda rep told this to the dealership Service Director on the phone with me on the phone with them, but now the dealership is telling me it isn't covered and they can't get the part, so this seems like an important safety issue - particularly if the part isn't available, suggesting many others are having the same problem - so maybe a recall is needed for this? I need to pass safety inspection in Virginia, but can't, and I'm not sure what to do. Thanks for any help. I called, but waited on hold for a long time and was then disconnected. Would like to hear back by email and phone call: [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

I CAN'T GET THIS DONE BECAUSE IT WILL TAKE AT LEAST HALF A DAY AT A DEALERSHIP THAT IS ABOUT 45 MILES FROM WHERE I LIVE (AND WORK) AND THEY DON'T OFFER REMOTE REPAIR. FORD DOES, BUT APPARENTLY HONDA DOES NOT, SO I CAN'T GET THIS TAKEN CARE OF. I AM UNABLE TO SPEND HALF OF A WORK DAY IN THE CITY SITTING AT A DEALERSHIP WAITING FOR MY CAR.
