The car was last driven and parked at about 8:30pm local time. At around noon the next day, we noticed that the dashboard in the vicinity of the passenger airbag was melted with an approximately 12-inch hole. There was soot staining the interior of the vehicle, and the windshield was burned and cracked above the hole in the dashboard.
While driving on or around September 4th, 2024, a warning light appeared on my dashboard. The warning stated “Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Problem. See Your Dealer.” I took my car to Hare Honda for an inspection and service on September 18th, 2024, and was informed that the diagnostic process would need the car to be in the shop overnight. I rescheduled my diagnostic service for September 26, 2024. On the 26th, I received a notification regarding the diagnostic test and the warning turned out to be an internal issue with the Air Bag Control Module and it needed to be replaced. The cost for this replacement was quoted at $1,353.91. I tried searching for any recalls for my vehicle and could not find any active ones. I dug a little deeper and found out that Honda has a safety recall for the same SRS issue regarding the module used to deploy airbags. The NHTSA recall number is 18V664000 and the Honda recall numbers are B2R, C2P, and Z2Q. I tried searching for a place to claim that my car should be part of a recall that is no longer active, but I could not find a place to submit a claim for it until I found the reporting tool for the NHTSA. Any assistance would be appreciated, especially because this seems to be part of the same part that had a recall in the past and I was not notified. Looking forward to hearing from anyone! I will likely have to approve the service because I am using my car for an extended road journey on October 3rd. 2024.
There was nothing wrong with my car previously. I was driving down a main road in my town and accidentally tried turning in somewhere that wasn't a road, going under 10mph I rode atop an island in the road and my steering wheel airbag popped. I do not know if that is supposed to happen when driving at such a speed but I believe it shouldn't have. The damage has not yet been inspected. My safety was put in danger as I freaked out over said airbag being popped. There is no other damage to the car.
I was driving on the freeway driving approx 70 mph when i was involved in a near head on collision from another car that had lost control and spun around into me. And the air bags did not deploy causing my head to hit the driver side pillar and i have shoulder and lower back pain and right knee pain
The floor wire harness under the driver's seat was incorrectly routed and caused the harness to break when the seat was moved to close to the end of the back. This break then caused the a fuse to blow "freezing" the drivers seat and the Secondary Restrain System (SRS) to fail with a warning light. The car was inspected by Howdy Honda and confirmed that the cable (harness) was routed incorrectly. Nobody else has inspected the vehicle. This incident occurred in may of 2021. Here are the words from [XXX], the Honda Agent that inspected the car: Hello [XXX], The problem with your vehicle is that the section of harness going from the floor to your seat was wrapped around a portion of the lower seat frame. Because the harness was wrapped and did not have it normal length of travel the seat could not move it's full length of travel. The reason that the seat restraint lights are on is because of the added tension on these wires from being wrapped up. some of the wires broke resulting in the warning indicators illuminating. This is a safety issue for several reasons. One you cannot adjust your seat to comfortably fit a driver of different sizes. Secondly with the warning indicators on for the supplemental restraint system, in the event of a collision, the airbags, seat restraints, and other safety features will not activate.

I was involved in an accident on 6/9/2021, where I was rear ended which caused tremendous damage. No air bags deployed. I have a fractured nose, large bump on head, whiplash, very badly hurt left arm and also have problems with my right motor skills.
WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT COSTING $7,000 IDAMAGE AND THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. HIT MY HEAD ON DRIVER DOOR WINDOW. DEALER SAID THEY REPLACED THE SRS HARNESS. THE STRUCTURE WAS DAMAGED SO THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
