2002 Honda Civic Interior & seats Problems

SINCE THE PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE THE SRS WARNING LIGHT HAS CONTINUOUSLY STAYED ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH BOARD. MY FIRST THOUGHT OF COURSE WAS SOMETHING WAS EITHER WRONG WITH THE AIR BAG SYSTEM OR THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION THAT LED TO THE AIR BAGS (WHICH ONES I HAVE NO CLUE) BEING DEPLOYED AND SO WHEN I SIGNED THE BILL OF SALE WITH THE DEALER I INQUIRED ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND WAS GIVEN A PAPER THAT STATES THE DEALER DID NOT KNOW AS WELL AS TO WHAYLT THE AIRBAG SYSTEM STATUS WAS BUT WAS TO BE EXCLUDED FROM LIABILITY TO THIS ISSUE BY MAKING UP THIS RIDICULOUS DOCUMENT. AFTER SEEING THE CAR FAX THE VEHICLE WAS THEN KNOWN TO HAVE BEEN IN A HEAD ON COLLISION IN 2018 AND SO THE DEALER LIED A BOUT NOT KNOWING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THIS DEALER HAS BEEN TOTALLY NON COMPLIANT WITH THE PROCESS OF GETTING THIS ISSUE ADDRESSED LET ALONE FIXED AND I HAVE TRIED ON SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO TALK TO OWNER WITHOUT ANY CALLBACK OR ANSWERS. I KNLY GET HOUNDED ABOUT WHAT THEY BELIEVE TO BE THE BALANCE DUE ON THE VEHICLE THAT'S IT . JUST TODAY I RAN THE VIN INN THE DATABASE AND SURE ENOUGH THERE WAS AN OPEN RECALL ON THE AIR BAG SYSTWMM IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS VIN AND THAT'S WHEN I DECIDED TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT .

THE SRS LIGHT HAS BEEN CONSTANTLY ON. THE DEALER SAYS IT IS NOT THE RESULT OF FAILED SEAT BELTS OR AIRBAGS. POSSIBLE FAULT IS THE COMPUTER. I DO NOT FEEL THAT THE COMPUTER FAILURE IS AS A RESULT OF ANYTHING I HAVE DONE. IT HAS BEEN ON FOR MANY YEARS. I DO FEEL THE RESPONSIBILITY RESTS WITH THE CORPORATION TO PRODUCE A CAR THAT DOES NOT EXHIBIT THIS BASIC DYSFUNCTION.

ON THE MORNING OF MARCH 1, 2005 I ATTEMPTED TO FILL MY GAS TANK. I PUSHED THE FUEL ACCESS DOOR RELEASE LEVER AND NOTHING HAPPENED. I ATTEMPTED THIS SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT SUCCESS. I CONTACTED A HONDA DEALER LATER IN THE DAY AND EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM TO HIM. HE SUGGESTED I GET ANOTHER PERSON TO JIGGLE THE DOOR WHILE I PRESSED THE LEVER AS HONDA HAD A KNOW FUEL ACCESS DOOR ALIGNMENT PROBLEM. THIS DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I HAD TO BREAK THE DOOR OPEN SO THAT I COULD ADD FUEL TO THE VEHICLE. AFTER BREAKING OPEN THE DOOR I NOTICED THAT PRESSING THE RELEASE LEVER DID NOT RETRACT WHAT WAS LEFT OF THE POST WHICH WOULD ALLOW THE FUEL ACCESS DOOR TO OPEN. *JB

I WAS A PASSENGER IN A 2002 HONDA CIVIC (2-DOOR) INVOLVED IN A HEAD ON COLLISION WITH A HYUNDAI ELANTRA. MY AIRBAG (PASSENGER SIDE) DID NOT DEPLOY, BUT THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG DID DEPLOY. ADDITIONALLY, MY SEAT (PASSENGER SIDE) BROKE LOOSE FROM THE FLOOR MOUNTS AND DID NOT RESTRAIN ME FROM SMASHING FORWARD INTO THE DASH WITH MY LEGS AND FORARMS TAKING THE IMPACT. AS A RESULT OF THE SEAT BECOMING UN-FASTENED I SUFFERED BRUISING AND LACERATIONS ON MY LEGS AND ARMS AND NECK AND BACK INJURIES FROM MY HEAD WHIPLASHING BECAUSE A LACK OF AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. THE DRIVER DID NOT SUFFER ANY BACK OR NECK INJURIES BECAUSE HIS AIRBAG RESTRAINED HIS HEAD FROM "SNAPPING" FORWARD. TO SUMMARIZE: PASSENGER SEAT CAME LOOSE FROM FLOOR MOUNTS AND PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY.
