The passenger airbag light stays on after the car is started and in motion. Regardless if there is a passenger seated or not. The car was taken in to the dealership during the recalls on takata airbag replacement. The passenger airbag light was off and now the light been staying on. I am extremely concern if my family or someone else gets into an accident, the airbag won’t deploy or may randomly deploy on its own.

"TAKATA RECALL" WHEN I CRANK THE CAR WITH NO PASSENGER THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON FOR A SECOND AND THEN GOES OFF SAYING THERE IS SOMEONE IN THE SEAT WHEN THERE IS NO ONE THERE. I CHECKED MY VIN FOR RECALLS AND IT SAYS THERE IS NONE BUT I PUT A BLUE DRIVER TESTER ON IT AND IT SAYS THE RECALL IS STILL THERE.

RECENTLY ON THE VISIT TO HONDA DEALER FOR AIR BAG RECALL REPLACEMENT THE SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME THAT MY RACK AND PINON STEERING ON THE VEHICLE WAS LEAKING. I WAS SURPRISED AS THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED AND NOT ABUSED. IT ALSO HAS LESS THAN 98K ON IT. A SEARCH ONLINE SHOWS THAT NUMEROUS OTHER HONDA 2008 CR-V OWNERS HAVE NOTED A SIMILAR PROBLEM AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON OCCURRENCE ON THIS MODEL WHICH I BELIEVE WARRANTS A RECALL FOR HONDA TO REPAIR AT THEIR EXPENSE. FAILURE OF THIS PART WOULD LEAD TO SUDDEN LOSS OF STEERING AND I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. COMPLAINTS BY OTHER 2008 HONDA CRV OWNERS REGARDING THIS ISSUE CAN BE FOUND AT IS THIS ISSUE BEING ESCALATED TO A RECALL? STEERING FAILURE SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY ISSUE OF THE HIGHEST PRIORITY. QUOTE WAS $1,600

ON JUNE 14, 2014 I WAS RUN ON THE ROAD INTO A UTILITY POLE.BY ANOTHER DRIVER. MY AIRBAG EXPLODED WITH ABRASIONS TO MY RT ARM AND CHEST. MY DOORS ON BOTH SIDES LOCKED ON ME WHILE FUMES FROM UNDER THE HOOD WERE FILLING MY INTERIOR. THE POLICE HAD TO PRY THE DOOR OPEN.TO GET ME OUT. I LATER STARTED HAVING PAIN IN MY CHEST AND FOUND OUT THAT CARTILAGE BROKE AWAY FROM MY CHEST CAVITY--COSTOCHONDRITIS. THE CAR WAS TOTALLED, BUT I WAS ADVISED TO CHECK THE RECALL ON THAT MAKE AND MODEL. I FOUND TWO RECALLS THAT IT SEEMED JUST HAPPENED. I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG THESE AIRBAG PROBLEMS EXISTED. I BOUGHT ANOTHER HONDA AND CHECKED FOR RECALLS ON MY 2014 CRV. SO FAR NONE HAVE BEEN NOTED. I LOVE MY CAR, BUT WHAT SHOULD I DO ABOUT RECALLS ON THIS ONE.

HONDA REPLACED BOTH THE DRIVERS AND PASSENGER FRONT AIRBAGS. I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT APRIL 2017. I WAS BROADSIDED, DRIVERS DOOR WAS IMPACTED. MY HEAD WENT HROUGH THE DRIVERS WINDOW. NONE OF THE SIDE AIRBAGS INFLATED. THE BODY SHOP WAS DISTURBED THAT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I HAVE BEEN IN PHYSICAL THERAPY SINCE THE ACCIDENT. THE VA HAS BEEN SUPPLYING MEDICAL TREATMENT. HONDA DENIED RESPONSIBILITY ALTHOUGH THEY NEVER SAW THE CAR. MY INSURANCE COMPANY PROGRESSIVE WILL NOT REPAIR THE FAULTY AIRBAGS BECAUSE THEY WERE FAULTY BEFORE THE ACCIDENT. WESTPORT HONDA WHERE I ORIGINALLY PURCHASED THE CAR IS NOT INTERESTED IN TAKING IT AS A TRADE IN BECAUSE OF THE KNOWN AIRBAG PROBLEM. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO? I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR. I CAN'T SELL THE CAR WITHOUT REVEALING THE KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAGS. THE DASHBOARD DISPLAY LIGHT COMES ON WITHOUT WARNING INDICATING THE SIDE AIRBAGS ARE NOT WORKING. THE INDICATOR IS OFF MOST OF THE TIME. I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT'S GOING TO COME ON AND HOW LONG IT'S GOING TO BE ON. HONDA INDICATED TO ME THAT THE SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE TESTED AT MY EXPENSE. I AM DISABLED AND CAN NOT AFFORD TO HAVE THIS DONE. OR ABLE TO TRAVEL TO SUCH A FACILITY.
